The Wind In The Willows - The Wind In The Willows (1968)


Το ξεχωριστό, ας πούμε με αυτό το δίσκο είναι ότι εδώ έχουμε την πρώτη συμμετοχή στην δισκογραφία, της γνωστής μας από τους Blondie, Deborah Harry. Η πραγματικά πανεμορφη φωτογραφία που έβαλα είναι έργο του αξεπέραστου Andy Warhol.

1 Moments Spent/Uptown Girl (Capitol 2274) 1968

This New York group is most notable for the inclusion of Debbie Harry, who was later in Blondie. A dreamy album, it has its moments.
Aside from two cover versions of Don Everly and Roger Miller songs, the album's hippie flower-pop songs were written by the band members.
The outstanding track being the hypnotic narration/chant There Is But One Truth, Daddy, which has a musical backing slightly reminiscent of Pink Floyd.
The band took their name from the children's book by Kenneth Graham.

The album was produced was Artie Kornfeld, who contributed to the Woodstock '69 Festival. He also produced another interesting album, A Time To Remember!,
which was credited to The Artie Kornfeld Tree.
