VINYL RELICS/Crazy Horse Roads (1970): Stained Glass & the Last Stand of West Coast Psych

EPYSODE 62: "Crazy Horse Roads" by Stained Glass. Guest: Stained Glass drummer Dennis Carrasco. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we trace the winding, electric path of Stained Glass through their powerful and often-overlooked 1970 album "Crazy Horse Roads", a burst of psychedelic energy from a band caught in the shifting tides of the West Coast scene. With exclusive commentary from original drummer Dennis Carrasco, we explore the album’s varied styles, a stark evolution from their earlier, harmony-rich garage-psych sound. We dive into the tracks and the story as Carrasco offers rare insight into the band’s creative crossroads. Recorded as the psychedelic '60s gave way to the introspective '70s, this album is an underrated gem that is deserving of more attention. I hope you dig "Crazy Horse Roads" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠[e-mail]⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured. *denotes track is not available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/00iIL9mL8e61OeZIsB3kPy?si=e1051904fe8241c4 MU "Ain't No Blues" LINK WRAY “Jack The Ripper” *THE TROLLS “Walkin’ Shoes” STAINED GLASS “If I Needed Someone” STAINED GLASS “We Got A Long Way To Go” STAINED GLASS “A Scene In Between” STAINED GLASS "I Sing You Sing" STAINED GLASS "Finger Painting" STAINED GLASS "Soap And Turkey" STAINED GLASS "Twiddle My Thumbs" STAINED GLASS "Fahrenheit" STAINED GLASS "Nightcap" STAINED GLASS "Horse On Me" STAINED GLASS "Two Make One" STAINED GLASS "Light Down Below" STAINED GLASS "Piggy Back Ride And The Camel" STAINED GLASS "Doomsday" *STAINED GLASS “Mad Lynn Ball” *STAINED GLASS “A Common Thief” *STAINED GLASS “Inca Treasure” COPPERHEAD “They’re Making A Monster” JEFFERSON STARSHIP “Jane” DENNIS CARRASCO “Thunder Bay” ??MYSTERY ARTIST??
