Myrth - Don't Pity The Man


Myrth’s 1969 self titled album is their only release. This killer album is a something of a beloved if little known release from this Phoenix, Arizona band. It’s somewhat in the vein of brassy jazz rock bands such as Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Myrth also have different sides to their musical personality too which make this a standout. No sour notes here. My favorites are the sunny and melodic pieces “Gotta Find A Way”, “He Don’t Know” and “We Got To Stand Together”, along with the deeply funky “Myrtholate” and the more psychedelic soul cousin to it in “Mythadrine”, not to mention the more abstract psychedelia of “Shed My Skin”.  From: https://www.facebook.com/groups/359479891287024/posts/1558552544713080/
