Ted Lucas - Ted Lucas - 1975
Sometime in the early ’70s, probably after 1972 when Motown pulled up its Detroit stakes and decamped to Los Angeles, Ted Lucas, a guitar wizard who’d studied with Ravi Shankar and played in psych rock bands around Detroit, went up into his attic to record an album. Lucas, who had decided to mostly swear off any attempt at fame, content to pay his bills playing on Motown sessions (he was the label’s in-house “Indian instrument expert”) and working out a new mode of playing guitar by himself and for himself, multi-tracked his voice — somewhere between Nick Drake and any other number of haunted presences like Skip Spence and Syd Barrett — and laid down Ted Lucas, intending to self-distribute it. He got some records made in 1975, and sold enough to finance a repress in 1977. Lucas would swear off recording for anyone else other than himself, and fade in obscurity, before dying in 1992 of unspecified causes.
