Daughters Of Albion

Bought this on vinyl in 1968. It was cheap & the cover was interesting. Was amazed when I discovered that it was out on CD. I've never seen another copy of this.Can't imagine how this will sound to the ears of today. I love every track, but I've lived with it for forty odd years! Sixty year old hippies will love it.Great to finally have it on cd.

I didn't know Daughters of Albion at the time, but I would have loved this album then. It's very decent folk/psych with some good harmonies and melodies and the sort of lovey, slightly odd lyrics which abounded in 1968.Fifty years on, it sounds very much of its time and, in spite of Leon Russell's production, doesn't really stand out from a lot of the better music of the period. It's well worth a listen, though, particularly if you're interested in late 60s folky/psych stuff.

The Californian duo of Greg Dempsey and Kathy Yesse combined their talents with those of producer Leon Russell and musicians including legendary guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and long-term Eric Clapton sideman Carl Radle to create this stunningly original psych-pop classic in 1968. Combining knockout hooks with gorgeous female vocals and truly unexpected studio tricks, it was perhaps too bizarre to connect with the mass audience it deserved first time around, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.

Nice melodic California psych rock from 1968 and not really dated at all.Male and female vocals throughout and the band includes Leon Russell on keyboards and Carl Radle on bass amongst others.Slightly reminicent of Stones circa BUTTONS/Peanut Butter and Mamas and Papas at times.Worth picking up if you collect this era .. oh and no drum solos or sillythrow away tracks included.
