Dave Bixby
In the early '70s, there was a subgenre -- still being excavated and discovered by collectors -- of privately pressed, or quite limited-edition, singer/songwriter folk albums that sounded like burnt-out leftovers from the hippie era. A percentage of these, in turn, were recorded and released by musicians with fervent if rather inarticulate religious beliefs. Dave Bixby's Ode to Quetzalcoatl is one of these, and though its purpose seems to have been to celebrate his deliverance from evil after embracing Christianity Read Full BioIn the early '70s, there was a subgenre -- still being excavated and discovered by collectors -- of privately pressed, or quite limited-edition, singer/songwriter folk albums that sounded like burnt-out leftovers from the hippie era. A percentage of these, in turn, were recorded and released by musicians with fervent if rather inarticulate religious beliefs. Dave Bixby's Ode to Quetzalcoatl is one of these, and though its purpose seems to have been to celebrate his deliverance from evil after embracing Christianity, it nonetheless sounds quite despondent and isolated in its mood. With acoustic guitar usually serving as his only instrumental accompaniment (and a bit of flute and harmonica heard at times), Bixby sings in a moan-lilting, slightly echoing voice whose sad and lonesome feel gives the impression that his demons have by no means been wholly exercised by salvation.

Bixby also released a second album, Second Coming under the name Harbinger, around the same time as Ode to Quetzalcoatl. This album would remain almost unheard until both albums were reissued in 2009 by Guerssen records of Spain.

Morning Sun
Dave Bixby Lyrics


Sun in the Morning
Dave Bixby

The sun in the morning
Comes over the hill
And kisses the tall grass beside me

We are so young
At heart
And living is an art
To be good at

We get our strength in the daytime
By the Sun's golden rays
That lasts us into the nighttime
We find ourselves in many ways

The sun in the morning
The new day is dawning
Look out your window
And see yourself walking
Through fields of love
And the sky up above
Is with you

We are so young
At heart
And living is an art
To be good at

Oh, God, we love you
How can we say
We love you?
We love you.
How can anybody say?
