Various Artists - Soft Summer Breezes (Summer Sun Vinyl)

Following in the wake of baroque charttoppers by the Zombies, Beatles, and the Left Banke, a dandier approach to garage rock flowered in the back half of the '60s. Awash in majestic harpsichords, lilting guitars, melancholic organs, and middle school orchestras, Soft Summer Breezes captures the decade's last gasps of optimism via 16 gentle moments of soft psychedelia. 1 Life 2 Soft Summer Breezes 3 Here's Where I Get Off 4 Little Daisy 5 Can You Tell 6 Why, Why, Why 7 Gentle Flying Dove 8 When Will It End 9 The Journey 10 Wounds Heal and Birds Fly Free 11 Fall on Me Rain 12 A Flower for All Seasons 13 Baby Buggy 14 Someday 15 You'll Know the Words 16 The Time of the Year Is Sunset
