Dave Bixby

Dave Bixby has been played over 50 times on NTS, first on 3 August 2014. Dave Bixby's music has been featured on 51 episodes.

In the early '70s, there was a subgenre -- still being excavated and discovered by collectors -- of privately pressed, or quite limited-edition, singer/songwriter folk albums that sounded like burnt-out leftovers from the hippie era. A percentage of these, in turn, were recorded and released by musicians with fervent if rather inarticulate religious beliefs. Dave Bixby's Ode to Quetzalcoatl is one of these, and though its purpose seems to have been to celebrate his deliverance from evil after embracing Christianity, it nonetheless sounds quite despondent and isolated in its mood. With acoustic guitar usually serving as his only instrumental accompaniment (and a bit of flute and harmonica heard at times), Bixby sings in a moan-lilting, slightly echoing voice whose sad and lonesome feel gives the impression that his demons have by no means been wholly exercised by salvation.

Bixby also released a second album, Second Coming under the name Harbinger, around the same time as Ode to Quetzalcoatl. This album would remain almost unheard until both albums were reissued in 2009 by Guerssen records of Spain.
