Changing Horses captures The Incredible String Band’s adventurous spirit just months after their Woodstock appearance, broadening their palette with an array of instruments from sitar to Chinese banjo. The cover photo by Janet Shankman, showing the quartet perched in a tree, hints at the album’s playful and exploratory mood, a shift from their earlier, more somber imagery. The back cover’s printed lyrics to "Creation" offer a rare glimpse into the poetic heart of their work, underlining the band’s blend of folk tradition and experimental sound. This 1969 pressing brings that eclectic mix to vinyl in a format that invites close listening. The record’s VG+ condition suggests it’s ready for regular play, with only minor surface marks that shouldn’t interfere with the music’s intricate textures. While it shows signs of typical handling, this copy provides a solid window into a unique moment when folk was stretching its boundaries—an album that’s as much about the journey as the destination, fitting nicely in collections that appreciate the curious and the unconventional.
