“Life used to be good, now look what I’ve done,” cries Dave Bixby, strumming his mournful acoustic guitar on “Drug Song,” the opening track on his 1969 debut album Ode to Quetzalcoatl. “I’ve ruined my temple with drugs.”

The talent beneath the turmoil is clear, but it wasn’t meant to be. Bixby’s faith in God extended to faith in Don DeGraaf, the leader of what would turn out to be a cult known as The Movement. Bixby’s record disappeared until its 2009 reissue by the Spanish label Guerssen Records, which brought this lost psychedelic Christian folk classic to a whole new generation of seekers.
