Summerhill [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

In the golden haze of 1969, when the boundaries between folk, rock, country, and psychedelia blurred into one kaleidoscopic movement, a quartet from Los Angeles quietly released an album that embodied the era's adventurous spirit. 'Summerhill', the band's self-titled debut-produced by none other than David Briggs, the longtime sonic architect behind Neil Young's earliest works-was a glowing, genre-defying collection of songs that captured the sound of the West Coast in it's most free-spirited form. A shimmering snapshot of late-'60s Los Angeles, this album drifts effortlessly between lush harmonies, fuzzed-out psych rock, and country-tinged balladry. Guided by David Briggs' rich production, it's textured arrangements and adventurous spirit make it a lost classic that still echoes the golden era of California's musical renaissance.
