Draft:Pidgeon (album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Pidgeon is the first and final album released by American folk rock group Pidgeon. The band is most notable for being fronted by glam rock musician Jobriath (credited as Jobriath Salisbury) 3 years before his debut album. Originally titled "First Flight From the Forest," it contains elements of folk, baroque pop, tight harmonies, and psychedelic rock. The album failed to chart, and though the band would later go on to release a non-LP single single, "Rubber Bricks / Prison Walls" they disbanded shortly after.
