    Default [SOLVED] Desperately need name of this song

    I came across this song on one of my father's old reel-to-reel tapes recorded around 1969-1970. No one I know has ever been able to identify it, and I have searched on dozens of lyrics sites on the internet - nobody has ever heard of it before, and I do mean NOBODY.

    I've been told that the style is much in the vein of Grateful Dead or early New Riders of the Purple Sage. The song itself is a slow ballad in a major key, but after the third verse it switches to a faster-tempo coda with a psychedelic guitar solo that fades out. The vocals are done with a lot of reverb; sounds a bit like the Mamas and the Papas standing at the end of a tunnel singing.

    The very first person I saw
    told me that I was breakin' the law,
    so I found it very hard to say
    it's another day, another day;
    just another day, another day, yeah.

    When she walked up to me and said,
    I'd rather be with the joker instead;
    the queen of hearts is already dead
    from another day, another day;
    just another day, another day.

    (Now the?) days are so hard to find,
    like the day when I lost my mind;
    like a man who had gone (stone?) blind
    from another day, another day;
    just another day, another day, yeah.

    What Country was this cassette recorded in? Right now I will act as if the title is Another Day, as it seems like an obvious possibility.

    For starters I'm looking into this Artist due to the style and one of the Track Titles. http://www.discogs.com/Don-Fardon-Th...elease/3834093

    This song was recorded off of the radio by my father sometime in 1971. It was on an easy listening station in Louisville, KY. Other songs recorded along with it were:
    some songs by Booker T and the MGs
    The theme from "Shaft" by Isaac Hayes
    Scarborough Fair/Canticle by Simon and Garfunkel
    Rainy Night in Georgia by Brook Benton
    etc.

    I don't know how to attach a sound file to this thread... is that possible?

    Got it. I found a sample on Amazon and confirmed that's the correct song. It first appeared on "There's No Hole in My Soul" in 1968. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
