Lazarus "A Fool's Paradise" 1973
The second album by Bill Hughes, Carl Keesee, and Gary Dye was released in 1973. Like their first it was produced by Phil Ramone and Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary.
Though still predominantly acoustic, A Fool's Paradise is noticeably more uptempo, slighly more electric, and more produced than the first album, which arguably held onto its mellow attitude at times when it might have let down its hair rather more. On the first album their use of percussion was so sparing that the drummer wasn't even named, but here he gets enough track time to warrant crediting Nick Jameson, who also gets a line for "additional production," whatever that means. There is also a credit for orchestration given to Chris Dedrick.
Once again the theme of religion weaves in and out but with a few exceptions it's even more subtle here than in their first album.
A Fool's Paradise was briefly available on a Japanese-issue CD but to my knowledge is not currently available in any format.

Thank you for posting this. It's as beautiful as the first day that I heard it back in 1973.
If they release it on CD, I would buy it

Is anyone willing to re-up this for someone slow on the uptake? Thanks in advance. J

Another one I was late to the show for. If a reup of this one is possible it would be very appreciated. Thanks for all you do.
Still no CD, but this album is now available from amazon.com as an mp3 download.
