The 31st Of February

by Richie UnterbergerThe 31st of February made an obscure album for Vanguard in the late 1960s that was typical of many LPs of the time that didn't make an impression. There was a little bit of folk-rock, a little bit of psychedelia, and a little bit of pop. Ultimately it didn't have a lot of significance, without memorable original material or a consistent or interesting style, though the playing and singing is competent, and the mood usually reflective. All of their members, though, went on to projects that made a more lasting commercial impact. Butch Trucks became drummer for the Allman Brothers; Scott Boyer played in Cowboy; and bassist David Brown went to Santana.
