VINYL RELICS/Six Ways To The Ace: Unearthing As Sheriff’s West Coast Sound

EPYSODE 63: "Six Ways To The Ace" by As Sheriff. Guests: As Sheriff band members Reid Hudson and Andy Godon, Supreme Echo record label owner Jason Flowers. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we dig deep into the hazy archives of Canada’s late-60s underground with "Six Ways to the Ace", a new release from Supreme Echo featuring the long-lost recordings of As Sheriff. Emerging from the Victoria/Vancouver scene, As Sheriff blended shimmering folk harmonies with a psychedelic edge, a sound as coastal as it was cosmic. We explore how these reels of tape survived half a century, what they reveal about a vibrant yet overlooked West Coast music scene, and how bassist Reid Hudson’s journey from local gigs to May Blitz links this forgotten band to the heavier chapters of rock history. This album is a revelation...and a resurrection. I hope you dig "Six Ways To The Ace" 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]⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out Supreme Echo's stuff here: https://supremeecho.com The As Sheriff songs are not available on Spotify, but you can hear them hear on Bandcamp: https://supremeecho.bandcamp.com/album/as-sheriff   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in order of appearance. There is no Spotify playlist available for this Epysode as the album is not available there.
