Music: Heaven & Earth - "Refuge"


Three and a half years ago I posted about Heaven & Earth and their record Refuge. I hardly know anything about about the group, however the names of the two singer/songwriters are Pat Gefell and Jo D. Andrews and the record is from 1973. How to describe the music? Folkpop I guess. I'll let the experts give it a go in the comments if they like. If someone has additional information about the group and record it is most welcome. Anyway, I think it's a great record. Have a go!

UPDATE: The show is over.
Sorry for the inconvenience but if you are truly interested mail me (martinklasch AT gmail DOT com) and I'll consider making an exception to that rule.

Hello Martin!

I am a community radio DJ in New Hampshire USA. I downloaded and burned the Heaven & Earth cd a few years ago from Bellybongo's site, and just this week went to bring it to the station to play some tracks again on the air during my show. Absentmindedly keeping it in my jacket pocket after the show, somehow the cd split in two! I have no idea where to find this wonderful music on cd or lp. I would be very grateful for downloadable mp3s of Heaven & Earth's "Refuge".
