Stone Circus (1969)


This is the Stone Circus' one and only album and it consists of all original songs that are mainly psych-pop with acid rock influence. I can't figure out exactly where they were from, because one thing I've read said they were thought to have been from California although according to the sticker on the CD it was "recorded by a bunch of musicians from Canada who'd fetched up in New York." So they were either from California or they were some Canadians in New York. There's some great instrumentation including fuzz lead guitar, jangly rhythm guitar, sweet bass and organ grooves, and solid drumming. I really enjoy most all of the songs leading up to the last track called 'People I Once Knew.' It starts with some spoken lyrics over piano and then breaks out into a long organ/wah-wah guitar jam that gets a little boring. The spoken word stuff is entertaining enough to redeem it, though.

Stand-Out Tracks:
"What Went Wrong"
"Adam's Lament"
"Mr. Grey"
"Sarah Wells"

"Mr. Grey"

Hi, I'm Jonathan Caine from Stone Circus. I was the writer and organist of the group. To set the record straight all of us except Sonny Haines, the guitarist, were from Montreal. We were originally called The Funky Farm but Mainstream Records changed the band's name, without our knowledge,to Stone Circus. We only found out when we saw the album cover. Yeah, those were the days of total control of the industry. Luckily the Internet has changed all that.

I'll be releasing a CD spring/2012 with my new group Truth Division called 99% Pure. Here's the video of the title track ~
