Background notes
Archive material and source history
October Country formed in Los Angeles in 1968, originally called Country Weather. The lineup included Michael Barrere on vocals, Rick Jarrard on guitar, John Inman on bass, and Rick Holmes on drums. They released their debut album in 1970, which featured the song 'My Girlfriend Is a Witch.'
That track drew attention for its occult themes, with some religious groups objecting to it. The band faced backlash but kept making music. They put out a few more albums in the early seventies, like 'Children of the Sun' in 1971 and 'Left Turn on Red' in 1972.
Their sound had a folk-rock feel with some psychedelic touches, heard on songs like 'I Wish I Was a Fire' and the title track 'October Country.' They played live shows around that time, but details about their later work or eventual disbanding aren't clearly documented in the available notes.
