Nick Garrie - Summer Nights (The Lost Portuguese Session) (2022)

Nick Garrie was discovered in the late 60s while busking in the South of France as a backpacker. His legendary album "The Nightmare Of J.B. Stanislas" was to be released in 1969 on the no less legendary French label Disc'Az. However, due to the suicide of the label's founder Lucien Morisse, only about 100 copies of this psych pop/soft rock masterpiece came into circulation. A cult album in the truest sense of the word which has been re-released several times, and rightly so. After that Garrie finished his studies and worked as a teacher, ski instructor and owned a hot air ballon company as well. Gradually, a new generation of music fans and musicians came to appreciate Garrie's work, he was collaborating with the likes of Duglas T. Stewart (BMX Bandits), Norman Blake, Francis McDonald (both Teenage Fanclub) and Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor) and releasing critically acclaimed albums in recent years.
The latest find from the Nick Garrie cosmos is a session he recorded in Portugal at the beginning of the millennium: “Summer Nights – The Lost Portuguese Session”.
