Roderick Falconer was the Appalachian’s response to David Bowie, and he combined the sound of Aladdin Sane/Diamond Dogs with an image more akin to the Thin White Duke (and appearing just as Bowie himself was moving into his Berlin phase.)
His 1976 New Nation LP was a fantastic collection produced by Gary Brooker. The Peter Ivers produced follow-up, Victory in Rock City, wasn't quite as strong, but it did include his most loved song of all, "Victory".
“We are the birds of Prey”… Eternal respect… Where are your first two records available ? I've been wondering for the last twenty years or so… See U Sioux.
Mothers hair was vinyl, her word was absolutely final. In ROCK CITY!! Is there anywhere to get a CD or download of Victory in ROck City? Thanks for hosting this site!!!
God help ‘em, HAMSICLE has a MUSIC VIDEO on trial in the

Please consider the evidence and vote your conscience.
Exhibit A: "Black Monday," in which we attempt to shed light on
the tattered remains of the McMerican Dream.

So please vote heartily, and daily.
The battle with McDonald’s, Starbucks, Nabisco, Kellogg’s and
