I should explain. Usually, when I write these it's only about 2 or 3 at a time, because that's the only free moment I have. Or I should say, a free moment that isn't taken up thinking about other stupid things. Anyways, these are different, because I listened to these last five albums all on the same weekend trip. It was the trip I took with my high school kids, to Indy. I'll admit, I didn't have the usual opportunity that I do to immerse myself in an album, but at the same time, it was a different experience. I wasn't thinking about other things during the album. It was just me and the road, and in this case the Mamas and the Papas.
A great album, including two of the best songs the Mamas and Papas ever recorded and my second favorite song by this group. A unique sound, especially since they were one of the first band I had ever heard that had more than just a two part harmony. Most people my age only know California Dreamin' from mash-ups, or at least that's all I remember hearing it in college. Though I suppose you could say that about all the music I enjoy.
Beyond that harmonies, the song that I like most on this album is Spanish Harlem. I know it's a cover, and usually covers don't sit well with me, but what can I say? I heard the cover first, and fell in love with it. Also, one of the first times that I had heard a vibraphone in a recording. In middle school, I never had heard the vibes solo in a recording. The sound is unlike any other I had ever encountered. A pure sound, like a chime, but with an enticing quality.
Most definitely listen to the album, but at the very least check out the recording.
Oh what the hell, here it is
