Fool On The Hill
LP (Item 9676) A&M, 1968 -- Condition: Used
One of our favorite albums by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 -- a perfect bridge between the simple pop of earlier records, and the group's expanding sound as the 70s approached! The warmly glowing Brasil 66 style is still very strongly in place, but the music here is all a bit hipper -- tunes that show the growing sophistication of Brazilian music in the post-bossa years -- picked up on by Sergio, and reworked for a larger audience in the US! The record's got some incredibly wonderful material -- including a sublime cover of "Upa Neguinho", plus versions of "Casa Forte", "Canto Triste", "Lapinha", and "Laia Ladaia", a song that's a perfect fit for the group's unique style! Also includes the dreamy number "When Summer Turns To Snow", and the group's classic cover of "Scarborough Fair"! (Cover has some ringwear, heavy edge wear, and seam splitting.) © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
