Rediscovered by me now
Mamas & Papas (from Los Angeles)
Jefferson Airplane (from San Fransisco)
Lemon Pipers (from Ohio, but gives me californian vibes anyway)
Byrds (from Los Angeles)
Doors (from Los Angeles)
Fascinates me how well you can hear that they were made in
California around 1967. All the albums are extremely good
orchestrated, not seldom by organs and xylophones, tambourines and
classic guitars, flutes and horns. And not at least rich choires
from the bands themselves, backed up by living base & drums.
There is a nice and tough vibe at same
time.
