Just Us’ lost “I Can’t Grow Peaches on a Cherry Tree” shares a cozy kinship with the Everly Brothers, Chad and Jeremy, and Simon and Garfunkel.

Ignited by a happy and relaxed mood, the jangly pop of ‘The Better End’ by engineer Tomas Dahl – aka Caddy – beams with a fresh-faced spiritedness.
Released in July 1968, the embryonic ‘Shades of Deep Purple’ already underscored the novel and industrious path that Deep Purple would take.

Sleek, clean, and shimmering to a pure pop glow, Taylor Penrose’s “Believe” soars with feeling and finesse.
An enjoyable compilation capturing a specific time, ‘Heavy Metal: Music From the Motion Picture’ arrived just before rock and pop became mechanical.

Managed by a smooth and confident delivery, Fortunato Isgro’s “Keep Thinking of You” glistens and glitters with soulful pop procedures.

There’s no denying that Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309/Jenny” is the strongest track here, but ‘Tommy Tutone 2’ had more than that that going for it.
The hard-rocking, unjustly overlooked Rugbys certainly had good ideas and a rich imagination, so there’s a lot of neat stuff going on here.

The Flower Pot Men’s very name, of course, says much about the era. Still, “Let’s Go to San Francisco (Pts. 1-2)” remains a stunningly produced song, and a flower-power classic.
