The Folklords

Virtually Nothing Is Known About This Canadian-Spawned Trio Consisting Of Tom Martin Bass Vocals Martha Johnson Vocals Autoharp Who Looked Really Pretty And Was Not The Later Founder Of Martha & The Muffins And Paul Seip Guitar Vocals Except That They Signed A Contract With Allied Records In Late 1967 Or Early 1968 Which Resulted In The Recording Of Their Only LP Release The Sunshine. They Were Of A Piece With Such Groups As William St. James Or Perhaps A Stripped-Down We Five But Evidently -- According To Reissue Annotator Vincent Tornatore Who Did The Digging -- They Never Rated A Mention In Any Canadian Publication. They Sang Pretty Well However And Their Obscurity Is Not A Reflection Of A Lack Of Talent Or A Sellable Sound. ~ Bruce Eder All Music Guide read less
