Heron - Twice As Nice & Half The Price (1971) - FULL ALBUM
(Their second album. Released in 1971 by Dawn Records).
Heron's story begins in 1967 at the Dolphin Folk club in Maidenhead, England. It was there that songwriters Roy Apps, Tony Pook and Gerald T. Moore met and played together in free-form sessions. In less than a year they united to form Heron. The only addition was keyboardist Steve Jones, who joined just after the band secured a record deal with Dawn records.
In 1970, Dawn released Heron's self-titled debut. Although featuring worthy contributions from all members, the album is most notable for the fact that all the music was recorded outdoors and for the inclusion of "Yellow Roses," an unquestionably brilliant song on par with Heron's idol Bob Dylan.
Jones asserts that their debut was a "runaway failure" on his website, but Dawn still allowed Heron to release a double album, Twice as Nice and Half the Price, as the follow-up in 1972. It has been said that the album's length is unwarranted and I have to agree. A few songs, such as covers of "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and "This Old Heart of Mine" are enjoyable, but fluff nonetheless. The remainder of this album however is nothing short of genius. Anyone into freak-folk vegetation like the Espers, Feathers, or Devendra Banhart would find much to chew on here, from the meditative "Winter Harlequin" to the rousing chorus of "Big A." Although recorded over 30 years ago, Heron's music remains vital and fresh, a feat that most of the "known" bands from that era have failed to duplicate.

G.T. Moore - Real Name: Gerald Thomas Moore
G.T. Moore is a true pioneer of the British reggae scene, with a recording career that stretches from the early 1970’s. His band the “Reggae Guitars” were the first white group to seriously attempt an authentic reggae sound, recording two albums for Charisma Records (G.T. Moore and The Reggae Guitars 1972 and Reggae Blue 1974) the former album boasting the original reggae cut of Bob Dylans “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” an idea taken to chart success by Eric Clapton some years later.
