Congratulations Charlie!

The tree on the album cover is on a barrier island close to Charleston, South Carolina. Angel Oak is the name of the band Charlie was with at the time.

Quote
The Angel Oak Park is located on Johns Island where you can find what is known as "A Lowcountry Treasure". The Southern Live Oak tree is a historical site and focal point of one of the City of Charleston's public parks. It is considered to be the largest Live Oak Tree east of the Mississippi estimating to be 300 to 400 years old. The Angel Oak receives approximately 400,000 visitors each year. The tree is 65 feet high with a circumference of 25.5 feet, shading an area of 17,000 square feet.

Thanks Jim for the additional detail, and especially for the photograph of that very famous tree. That adds further excellent perspective to the creativity behind the production. What a remarkable specimen.

Thanks for all the comments. The re-release of the album has been an unanticipated surprise after a 49 year hiatus.

I appreciate Jim highlighting the story of the Angel Oak. We grew up not far from the tree and played under the canopy and on those huge limbs many times.

Thanks again to those that listened or taken time to comment.

Note: The album has been posted by the record company onto YouTube and full-length versions of the songs can be heard there. I posted a link in the Best of YouTube Forum.

Thanks for asking about the recording of the album.

It was recorded at Rome Studios, Columbus, Ohio in May 1975. The album was released in October, 1975. It was recorded to 2" tape on an Ampeg 8 track recorder.

The band consisted of:

Mike Couch, guitar
Tommy Hooks, Bass
Vic Cotto, Drums
Charlie Fogle, guitar
Harold Fogle, Pedal Steel Guitar, Lead guitar

Everyone but Harold did lead and backing vocals.

Barnes Stone managed and financed the band and album. Harold and Barnes were responsible for the songs chosen to be recorded.

Mike did lead vocals on "If You Can't See The Light"

Tommy, lead vocals on "Everything I Do"

Vic, Lead on "With Me"; "Linda"; "I Saw Her Cry"

Charlie, "Making Plans"; 'Hey Girl"; 'It's going to End Tonight"; Everytime"; "Other Things and Other Dreams"

Mike is still actively performing both solo and in a band, Vic and Harold are deceased and Tommy and I live about two miles apart. Harold was my brother and produced the album. Tommy is my first cousin.

Great info Charlie, if my memory serves me right I think Harold used to post on the biab forms when he was living.

It's possible Harold may have posted on the forum but doubtful. He was very involved in midi prior to his passing which was in 1999 and that years before either Jim or myself were users of BIAB.

Harold lived in Nashville and was a touring musician, session musician and producer so it's possible he heard of BIAB but I don't recall him ever mentioning it. He and I did collaborate with several midi programs he had in the mid 1980's. My brother Jim joined the forum fairly close to the same time you came aboard so he may be who you recall.

Charlie. the PG Music forum software was completely changed in the summer of 2000. All posts (and good info, especially from Mac) were lost. There would be no way to go back and answer the question about whether your brother posted. However, I don’t recognize his name from my forum time in the years before 2000.

Okay, wow, I just listened to this entire album and it is REALLY good. Y'all had a great blend of vocals, you sound great and Vic, oh my goodness what can I say - what a voice. And Harold absolutely outdid himself on that steel it is beyond beautiful on every song it's on. Really spot on country rock vibe - I rarely gush but hey I just absolutely LOVE it! I know you're proud of it and well you should be Charlie.

Thanks Muso for listening and for your nice comment. I appreciate you taking time to listen and your nice comment. For sure I'll cash the check for a zillion units if that happens.


Wow Josie. First, it's great to see you posting. Then it's on to - Oh my gracious!!!

You nailed that Vic and Harold were the major talent and power of the group. No question. I'm loving your gushing.

Harold producing the album was ultimately the main reason the album was even discovered by the record label and included in their documentary back in 2016. As the record producers were researching the documentary, it featured 18 other artists/bands from around the country and Harold showed up on several of of the other artist's projects that were included in the documentary. In their project, he had to be uncredited to any other artist's song because although the producers were sure it was him, there was no documentation to validate his work. They could validate Harold on my album, and the music genre was right, so we made the grade to be included in the documentary.

Vic's vocal talent allowed our band to play songs not commonly included in many playlists during that era. Bread, The Beach Boys, The Buckinghams, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Dell Shannon, and Frankie Vali & the Four Seasons were all possible due to Vic's vocal range.

Thank you so much for your kind words. This made my day. I hope you're doing well.

Charlie
