October Country written by Micheal Lloyd. In 1968, the band immediately followed the release with the sophomore effort "My Girlfriend Is a Witch", from the album, receiving substantial radio play in Los Angeles. Epic Records decided to finance October Country's self-titled album, which Lloyd composed all eleven songs for, and, for the most part, arranged all the instrumentals. Music critic Bryan Thomas noted the album's influences stemmed from the orchestration found on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and praised how Lloyd "always seemed to find interesting ways to incorporate various sophisticated instrumentation". October Country released one final single, "Cowboys and Indians", before disbanding later in 1968. Although commercial success eluded the band, it showcased Lloyd's potential as a producer, awarding him an opportunity to record with a studio group called the Smoke. The band released an album in 1968, featuring a cover version of "October Country". He later achieved wider acclaim for his work in the music industry. October Country's recordings have been placed on compilation albums over the years; however, their most prominent appearance is on "", which features "My Girlfriend Is a Witch".
