Jardine – “Look In The Window” – [Lion Productions]

humana   3/29/2010   A Library, CD

For a very short time in 1969 a band existed in Birmingham, England, named ???Jardine??? (the French word for garden, which suited the Flower Power psychedelic earthiness of the sound to a T). Recorded in June of 1969 but unearthed 40 years later, these songs represent a slice of 60s life: odes to girlfriends, experiments with chord progressions, gentle, ballad-like harmonizations, cool, psyche guitar/flute rockouts. This is indeed a gem. Be sure to read the liner notes.
