A beautifully fragile folk / soft rock daydream recorded in 1971 and unreleased until now.

Michigan quartet Flight was formed in the small town of Grayling by Phil Stancil and Doug Slater. The two teenagers, with no formal musical training, sat down for a year to explore a shared sense of vulnerability, and a new found freedom in expressing an emotional openness rarely seen in young American men at the time.

What resulted was an 8-track LP, recorded over two days, in two separate studios. Aside from a limited 45 pressing of 50 copies of the title track backed with Song For The Road, I’m Coming Home would wait a full half century to be released.

This music, recently uncovered and restored, provides a unique glimpse into the world that was 1971 America: a time when young men felt emboldened to abandon machismo, and explore the feelings of heartbreak, longing, alienation, and love in music.

Enjoy I’m Coming Home by Flight.
