Straight Ahead (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 441651) Columbia/Collectors Choice, 1964 — Condition: New Copy
The second fab album from Curt Boettcher's legendary Goldebriars group – even dreamier and more unconventional than the first, and filled with beautiful harmony vocals! As on the group's debut, singers Dotti and Sheri Holmberg take the lead on most of the tunes – but Boettcher's also singing along with them a bit too, starting to develop the styles he'd use later on, and really giving a weird sort of sound to the music. Arrangements have their roots in folk, but really change things up a lot – still using simple acoustic instruments, but in modes and rhythms that are a far cry from both mainstream and rootsy folkies of the 60s! There's an eerie, otherworldly feel to the whole record that's amazing – like finding some lost Pandora's Box of music buried deep in the mountains – opened up and floating magically through the skies. Titles include "Zum Gale Gale", "Ride That Chariot", "Jump Down", "Haiku", "Sweet Potatoes", "Sea Of Tears", "MacDougal Street", "Joy Joy Joy", and "No More Bomb". CD features a huge number of bonus tracks too – 10 more numbers that include "I'm Gonna Marry You", "June Bride Baby", "Licorice", "Nothing Wrong With You That My Love Can't Cure", "Hush Hus", and "Tell It To The Wind". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
