Epysode 40: "Bored Civilians". This week on The Vinyl Relics Podcast, we unearth a hidden gem from the early '70s — "Bored Civilians"  by Keith Cross & Peter Ross. A one-off collaboration between two underground talents, this hauntingly beautiful album blends British folk, progressive rock, and melancholy songwriting in ways that still resonate today. We explore the unique alchemy between Cross’s intricate guitar work and Ross’s introspective lyricism, unpack the album’s short-lived legacy, and consider why this obscure release has earned cult-classic status among collectors and audiophiles. I hope you dig "Bored Civilians" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5jsd6lOtC2KfNLVEXHuC3p?si=baa5c3ab713d49b3 THE SONICS "Have Love Will Travel" BULLDOG BREED “Eileen’s Haberdashery Store” BULLDOG BREED “Paper Man” BULLDOG BREED “Friday Hill” THE FLIES “Magic Train” T2 “No More White Horses” T2 “Morning” T2 “Highway” T2 “Careful Sam” *SUNBURST “Cheese Wire” LEAF HOUND “Drowned My Life In Fear” HOOKFOOT “Bluebird” FAIRPORT CONVENTION “Throwaway Street Puzzle” *CROSS & ROSS “Can You Believe It?” CROSS & ROSS “Blind Willie Johnson” CROSS & ROSS "Last Ocean Rider" CROSS & ROSS "Bored Civilians" CROSS & ROSS "Peace In The End" CROSS & ROSS "Story To A Friend" CROSS & ROSS "Loving You Takes So Long" CROSS & ROSS "Pastels" CROSS & ROSS "The Dead Salute" CROSS & ROSS "Bo Radley" CROSS & ROSS "Fly Home" CROSS & ROSS "Prophets Guiders" *GRAND THEFT “Body Talk” *PIRANHA “Gonna Take It Up” *TOBA “Moving Up” ??MYSTERY ARTIST??
