Afro-Harping
Dorothy Ashby ·1968
"Dorothy Ashby's Afro-Harping, Dorothy Ashby playing a psychedelic harp along to some great backings. It's got a really amazing version of 'Where is it?'... I know 'Come Live with Me' is great and 'Soul Vibrations' is amazing."

"I haven't actually heard it; it's a live one that they recorded in a cathedral and I saw them live. They hung their guitars up on magnets and then just left them sort of feeding back into each other, which was amazing."
