Flying Canyon

Flying Canyon only got to put out one album before Cayce Lindner had decided he'd had enough of this world.  Linidner, backed up by members of Jewelled Antlers and Skygreen Leopards recorded the primary vocal and guitar tracks to this slow and dreary album.  There was something special to this guy, you can hear him pouring himself out into these songs.  Finished and mastered after his death, Flying Canyon's lone disc is one that, if better known would definetely stand the test of time. 
The band's myspace define their sound as "The Eagles on Robitussin"  but i think it gets a little more involved than that.  Somewhere between Roky Erickson's Holiday inn tapes, and a very high David Crosby, Lindner's soft voice and gentle guitar playing, invoke images of this album being recorded in a basement studio with no lights on.

Having cleared my CD stacks onto the sidewalk again, Flying Canyon remains one of a handful that I can't part with.  my only regret is that it wasn't pressed on Vinyl. 

Here is a video preview of the band
