Widsith (folk, psych / USA)

Widsith is a rootsy pair from Hicksville on Long Island, NY – Bob Teer, song writer, on lead vocals and guitars, and Ed McCafferty on vocals, electric, acoustic, bottleneck and steel guitars, plus a bit of bass! They recorded one and only LP album "Maker Of Song" (This is a private press released in 1972 by the Alithia label (Alithia 9101)) .The duo seem to do a bit of overdubbing in the studio – expanding out their sound with a mix of guitars, some rhythms, and other elements – but there’s still a pretty stripped down sound overall, as if you’re catching Teer and McCafferty trading lines back and forth on the stage. 

Other musicians featured on the album "Maker of Song":  Mark Jacobson: Flute, Dennis Garcia: Bass and vocals, Tony Pacheco: Congas and percussion, Harry Barber: Keyboards, Ian Bennet: Tenor Sax and Bobby Colomby of “Blood, Sweat and Tears” fame: Drums.
