Vision Of Sunshine - Vision Of Sunshine FLAC download

This youthful Californian quintet taped their sole album at Hollywood's legendary Sunset Sound Recorders in 1969. Led by singer-songwriter Gerald, they performed complex hippie folk with arrangements incorporating cello, flute, harpsichord, electric guitar and more. Originally issued in early 1970, the album has been hailed as a lost classic. Interesting to note that they do a cover of Rabbit Mackay’s (of Rabbit Mackay and the Somis Rythm Band/Boize fame; I recommend checking out his Uni album’s, if you haven’t already) Stranger Here. The rest of the material, including a cover of Mr. Bojangles is pleasant and well performed, some of it has a spiritual nature. Vision Of Sunshine took to the road to promote their album, but soon fell apart…The album, featuring male and female lead vocals, is mostly acoustic with some electric guitar. flutes, cello, strings and celest add depth to the arrangements.
