Bobby Frank Brown - The Enlightening Beam of Axonda (1972)

Bobby Brown’s debut is a difficult to classify outsider opus that has become a sort of grail for rare psych collectors (it’s featured in the highly renowned Acid Archives guide to underground psych, folk, and outsider sounds). A manifestation of a singular star child, Brown built and plays all 50 homemade instruments, which he combined into a large one-man-band piece that looks like something out of the Swiss Family Robinson. Funded, produced, and released by Bobby himself, the album is uncompromising, bold, and intensely spiritual.
