City Of Gold / ...Beautiful Lies You Could Live In (CD)
You could stage an argument that calling your band Pearls Before Swine is to confront the potential audience. That is to say, "This music is pure genius, huh, not that you would know what that is". The band itself was principally studio bound and, although it featured a rotating line-up, generally consisted of one man, Tom Rapp. He wrote and sang the songs as well as arranged them. He was known to produce acid folk back in the late sixties - but with an edge: whether that be anti-war or pro-drug or some other large and contentious social subject. He's still at it now, as a matter of fact: he works as a civil rights lawyer in the USA.
