Christian Lee - ‘Magic Wand’ - White Wonder

Obscure 45rpm artifact on a one-off label - the artist remains mysterious, originally from Detroit, apparently he later relocated to the Southwest. An anthem of sorts, the rough-hewn yet melodic folk sound of 'Magic Wand' oddly foreshadows the sound of early 90s bedroom-four-trackers.

Very interesting. Kyle Field of the west coast “freak folk” outfit Little Wings also has an album called Magic Wand. He too can be described as a more rustic, smokey iron and wine, his recordings are equally lo-fi, and they also have this same sing-along feel. Betcha a buck he’s got this record.
