Gary Farr
there are two artists who have used this name:
1> British singer/songwriter:" Strange Fruit is a great undiscovered work of the acoustic rock / classic rock genres, cited by some as a minor masterpiece. In the late 60's Gary Farr made the transition from leader of R&B outfit The T-Bones to a noted singer-songwriter. Recording an album for Marmalade Records, Farr then signed to CBS Records in 1970, recording this sole album for the label. Sessions featured contributions from Richard Thompson on lead guitar and leading lights of the underground Mighty Baby."
Not to be confused with the idiot midget who works for BPL who has all the musical talent of a strangulated hernia.
