THE BETHLEHEM EXIT - Walk Me Out

THE BETHLEHEM EXIT - Walk Me Out
ALBUM Walk Me Out / Blues Concerning My Girl (7") (1966)
The members of The Bethlehem Exit were from Los Altos and Cupertino, towns just south of Palo Alto in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Their single appeared in July 1966 on Jabberwock Records, a label based in Walnut Creek (and not connected to The Jabberwock Club in Berkerley).
The title has been changed but a-side ‘Walk Me Out’ is in fact an excellent up-tempo, jangling rendition of ‘Morning Dew’, the folk song about survivors of a nuclear war composed by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1961 that came to be something of a standard in the mid to late 60s thanks to covers by the likes of Fred Neil, Tim Rose and The Grateful Dead.
The Bethlehem Exit apparently continued on until 1970, though by late 1966 both Sultzbach and Tomasi had left to join The New Delhi River Band, a Palo Alto group that didn’t make any recordings but included guitarist David Nelson in its line-up, who later ended up in the Grateful Dead related New Riders of the Purple Sage.
