Garfield - Strange Streets (Reissue) (1976)

Garfield was a Canadian art-rock band fronted by musician–songwriter Garfield French. They made the 1976 Mercury album Strange Streets and the 1977 Polydor title Out There Tonight. French continued the Garfield name for the 1979–81 Polydor albums Reason to Be and Flights of Fantasy.

Garfield released their debut album, Strange Streets, in June 1976 on Mercury. It features nine originals by Garfield French, who plays piano and guitar.

Strange Streets features secondary instrumentation by synthesist Chip Yarwood (flute) and guitarists Paul O’Donnell (banjo, organ) and Walter Lawrence (cello).

In addition to the six-piece band with bassist Maris Tora and drummer Dennis French, Strange Streets features guest contributions by keyboardist Jacques Fillion and veteran pianist Bob Hill (a recent Doc Watson sideman).
