Eden Ahbez was a hippo and a dropout way before that sort of lifestyle became trendy in the sixties. He was a poet and composer who wrote 'Nature Boy,' a huge hit for Nat King Cole in 1948. His album Eden's Island from 1960 perfectly captures the world of exotic music from a unique perspective. It pairs wild jungle atmospheres and dreamy paradise beach islands with music rooted in folk traditions and relaxed, easy listening grooves with transcendent vocals, his own trademark wood flute and easy listening swing grooves. It is a movie for the mind. Psychedelic music before that was a thing.
