More classic rock tonight. The rest of week will be a little off key musically so to speak. Love was a band out of Los Angeles that was one of the most diverse racially as well as musically during the late 60's. Led by vocalist/guitarist Arthur Lee and guitarist Johnny Echols, Love left their mark on rock with the album 'Forever Changes'. Originally released in 1967, 'Forever Changes' is widely regarded as a landmark album. So much in so in May of 2012 it is now on the National Recording Registry. Not to mention the countless five star reviews by the press over the years. This is a record that a lot of people talk about, so do yourself a favor and give it a spin. Doesn't hurt that this is the deluxe edition either.
This isn't an album I break out often, but I genuinely enjoy playing it when I do dust it off. The album is a melting pot of musical styles. From folk rock to psych rock it all blends together in a wonderful harmony. It's easy to see why this is such a landmark album. This is a good record to mellow out to after a long day at work.
