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.
