A rare gem lp on a small label.
PIc and audio from the original lp,enjoy.
Robert Joe Ott aka Darius was possibly based in California due to Ben Benay and Butch Parker 's involvement in his one and only album on which he is backed by the band Goldenrod . The album is all originals and the music very melodic with upfront vocals and a psychedelic style veering towards progressivism. Particularly stunning are "Mist-Veiled Garden" and "I Feel The Need To Carry On". Funk and blues influences are more evident on Side 2 of the album. He died August 3, 2006.
