The Ken Hacker Society

Feel Like Makin' Love & NCTB
The Ken Hacker Society
At The Farm
Alcadia Records LP0151875
QCA Recording - Cincinnati, Ohio
1975

Curious local album straight out of the sealed shrink. The liner notes go on about how Ken got tired of doing dance music for 13 years and, after many headaches, heartaches and hangovers, restructured the band as the Ken Hacker Society.

I mentioned that the LP is curious. This is essentially a lounge band and the tracks reflect that, but there are a few Christian numbers on the A side. In fact, the number 1 track on the A side titled One Way, is a religious themed song.

The cover of Feel Like Makin' Love is followed directly by a song about Judgement (NCTB, written by Hacker).

The Farm: "It was only natural that the album motif be at The Farm." The Farm is still in business today. http://www.theplacetohaveaparty.com/

  2. Thank you for posting this. I am listening to the album right now. I had the pleasure of playing with Ken for a few years. The trombonist pictured on the album is Harold Dimond. Harold just turned 100 years young and he played daily until his 98th birthday. Thanks for this memory.
