YOUNGBLOODS / ヤングブラッズ / EARTH MUSIC / レコード

ヤングブラッドの1stと2ndがSUNDAZEDより世界初のモノラルリイシュー!! オリジナルのモノラル盤は滅多にお目にかかれません。ジェシ・コリン・ヤングが在籍していたという事で甘いソングライター系をご想像の方、それは間違いです。むしろLATE60'sフレーバー満載のフォークロックです。

The first two albums from the eclectic ’60s group including the anthem “Get Together”!

Many fans agree that the Youngbloods made their most audacious and enduring music on their first two albums, The Youngbloods and Earth Music, both released in 1967 and both produced by noted musician, arranger and future Mountain member Felix Pappalardi.

Earth Music
The Youngbloods’ sophomore release Earth Music is an uncommonly solid follow-up, expanding upon the musical directions introduced on their debut LP. The infectious “Sugar Babe” (also featured in Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Zabriskie Point) is one of the group’s most popular tunes, while such numbers as “All My Dreams Blue,” “Dreamer’s Dream” and “Fool Me” demonstrate the strength of the band members’ songwriting skills and customized covers of Tim Hardin’s “Reason to Believe,” the Holy Modal Rounders’ “Euphoria” and Chuck Berry’s “Monkey Business” demonstrate the Youngbloods’ talent for seamlessly integrating a broad array of influences.
