Review

Alright, let me paint you a picture of Dave Bixby's "Ode To Quetzalcoatl." Picture this: 1969, a time when the air was thick with rebellion and change. Amid this backdrop, Bixby takes us on an intense, soul-bearing journey, wrestling with his demons and seeking redemption through a stripped-down folk sound. Bixby’s raw acoustic guitar and his voice, dripping with emotion, transport you right into his world—a place haunted by past addictions and lit by newfound faith.

Tracks like "Morning Sun," "Secret Forest," and "Peace" feel like wandering through a spiritual wilderness. Each note and verse touches on the shadows of addiction and the light of spiritual awakening. The simplicity of the production keeps it real, letting Bixby’s heartfelt lyrics and guitar strumming shine. It’s a stark reminder of what true emotional expression sounds like, akin to legends like Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, but with a unique, spiritual twist. If introspective and confessional folk is your vibe, this album is a definite must-listen. - Ivy
