Various Artists: Safe In My Garden - American Pop In The Shadows 1967-1972 (Vinyl 2xLP)
Tax included.
Peace and love in late 60s America did not come without parallel feelings of fear and confusion about the social situation – specifically about Vietnam. Safe In My Garden is the latest Ace compilation in an acclaimed series compiled by Bob Stanley – it’s a companion piece to the much-praised State Of The Union - The American Dream In Crisis 1967 -1973.
The music on Safe In My Garden is harmony-laden, beautifully produced soft rock. Sunshine pop, even - a melodic, innovative style of American music that grew in the mid-60s out of the folk and surf scenes, exemplified by the Beach Boys and the Mamas and Papas. You will hear orchestral arrangements, and soft boy-girl vocals. But it wasn’t made in isolation from what was going on in the outside world. There are clouds and minor chords, plenty of melancholy in those harmonies.
