Stone Garden was a late 60's high school band from Lewiston, Idaho. They developed a hard rockin' sound and managed to record a single in a friend's basement studio. That pressing of 300 was enough to get some local deejays at the time to generate some buzz for this band. This lead to a recording session in Vancouver in the summer of 1969 as most of the band was preparing for their senior year in high school. For a number of reasons, though, the album never got released. By 1972, the band members were moving on with their lives and Stone Garden would be all but forgotten. That is, until decades later when, in 1998, those Vancouver tapes finally got released as the band's self titled LP. The entire album is a hard rock/psych masterpiece and it is a shame that the band did not get some more initial success as they likely had a lot more to offer.
