Title:
Cherrystones - Hidden Charms
''Cherrystones
- Hidden Charms' is a collection of rare and unavailable Psych Rock from
the late 60's selected by David Holmes. It is a joint release for his
13 Amp label and Family Recordings.
There are
nuggets and jewels aplenty to excite discerning listeners with ears for
a nice hook, good arrangement, nice melody or just an unusual groove.
The featured
bands are linked together by nothing more than they all strived to experiment,
move forward and innovate through their approach to music. Hence we have
an abundance of funky rock, hammond organs, strange vocals and general
psychedelia that makes for an absolutely fantastic listen.
The album
features bands from the UK, France, Italy, Holland and the USA plus unexpected
offerings from Ennio Morricone, The Shadows and the odd sample (the Marsha
Hunt track was used by Paul Weller on Uh Huh, Oh Yeah).
