Harvester was
formed in 1967 in Stockholm by guitarist Bo Anders Pärsson and included
cello player Ericsson and violinist Yman. They were first known because
of International Harvester and Pärsson Sound who delivered colossal live
sessions during the late 60s. In 1968 they changed their name for
Harvester. During that period they partly abandoned their psych-out
droning rock and focused their interest on traditional folk music and
acoustic performances. Harvester provided splendid homemade epiphanic
folk ragas made of ritual psychotropical moods and improvised bucolic
ballads. The debut album Sov Gott Rose-Marie was released in 1968 on
Love. In 1969 alternative labels had started to pop up, and with the
name shortened to Harvester the band released their second album, Hemåt,
on Decibel. Line-up / Musicians Bo Anders Persson/guitars,vocals Thomas Tidholm/saxophone,flute,vocals Urban Yman/violins Kjell Westling/violins Arne Eriksson/cello Torbjörn Abelli/bass Thomas Gartz/drums,vocals Discography Hemåt 1969
