WITHOUT a doubt one of the finest unhearlded West Coast psych albums of the early 70's, the final ZEPHYR album which blends a terrific array of dreamy soothing infectious tunes. A remarkable late night groover with vibrant flowing sonic sound sensations, a real 'grower' of the best kind, once this baby gets it's hooks into you, well...kick back a drift away with one of the great "lost albums" of the early '70's. It is the most accomplished and polished album of thee ZEPHYR efforts. Combining elements of West Coast psych, blues and rock with atmospheric sound effects and the eerily smooth & silky to wailing, Janis Joplin-like vocals of singer Candy Givens, the album sails along from song to song until, by the closing track, it has become evident that the sum is more than the individual parts; a Total Album, if you will. Still, the songs all stand out, particularly "High Flyin' Bird," which features Candy Givens' most impassioned singing. "Sierra Cowgirl" is a perfectly enchanting slice of cinematic pop, with a gorgeous feel that conjures up visions of Monument Valley and big Nevada skies. like the terrific black and white sights in sounds cinematography in the classic, HIGH SIERRA. "Chasing Clouds" and "Winter Always Finds Me" build to stunning climaxes. The musicianship on this recording is never less than perfect, without a note or beat out of place. The cover artwork makes a classic album cover, too. Unbelievable why this record is not more widely known, but judging by other collectors in-the-know, we are not alone in total admiration for this truly spectacular gem -- those who don't know or feel it, well too bad for them!
