Music Box - Songs Of Sunshine LP
Reissue, originally released in 1972 on the small imprint Westwood Recordings. Here is another magical achievement of the early '70s counterculture. Songs Of Sunshine has an intimate, predominantly acoustic flavor. Flutes, chimes, and gentle organ sounds all over the place. Tales of faraway lands, sand, sea, castles, kings, queens, and even Peter Pan dominate the scene, imposing a sort of ancestral feel. Rob Armstrong, the leader of Music Box, became a renowned luthier and you can hear the care and love of the acoustic guitar in his music. The short-lived British folk trio released just this single before vanishing. The album consists of nine acoustic folk tracks of their own material and the Bob Dylan's classic "Tom Thumb Blues".
