Our Take

Tony, Caro & John's All On The First Day is a blissful time capsule of psychedelic folk goodness that feels simultaneously nostalgic and fresh. Hailing from the early 70s, this album has all the hallmarks of a classic folk record: haunting vocals, intricate guitar work, and whimsical lyrics that transport you to another era.

Each track on All On The First Day is like a mini adventure, taking listeners on a journey through meandering melodies and dreamy atmospheres. From the haunting beauty of "Snowdon Song" to the infectious energy of "The Euphrates Connection," Tony, Caro & John showcase their musical prowess with effortless grace.

What sets this album apart from other folk records of its time is its willingness to push boundaries and experiment with different sounds. Tracks like "Waltz for a Spaniel" and "Lady Of The Morning" incorporate elements of jazz and avant-garde, adding a layer of complexity to the overall sound.

Despite the album's age, it feels surprisingly modern and relevant, a testament to the timelessness of great music. Whether you're a die-hard folk fan or a newbie to the genre, All On The First Day is guaranteed to enchant and captivate you from start to finish. Tony, Caro & John may not be household names, but this album proves that their music deserves a place in the spotlight. Don't sleep on this hidden gem – it's a true masterpiece that stands the test of time.

About the artist

Tony, Caro & John

In the wild world of psych-folk, there are few bands as enigmatic and captivating as TONY, CARO & JOHN. Hailing from the idyllic shores of New Zealand, this duo burst onto the scene in the late 1960s with their unique blend of mystical lyrics and blissed-out melodies. Led by the enigmatic Tony, whose hypnotic vocals could lull even the most restless soul into a state of euphoria, and supported by the ethereal harmonies of Caro and the mesmerising guitar work of John, this trio created music that was truly ahead of its time. Their debut album, "All On The First Day", released in 1972, is a kaleidoscopic journey through the inner workings of the human mind, with songs that veer from dreamy ballads to raucous rockers with effortless precision. Tracks like "Snowdon Song" and "Soul Down" showcase the band's knack for crafting beautifully intricate melodies that linger long after the last note has faded. Despite their undeniable talent and critical acclaim, TONY, CARO & JOHN never quite achieved mainstream success, but their influence can be heard in the work of countless contemporary psych-folk bands. With their otherworldly sound and undeniable charm, this trio remains a hidden gem in the annals of music history, waiting to be discovered by those with a taste for the truly unique.
