This is “From The Archives” a feature where we take a trip back to a previous decade and discuss an album! We will talk about highlight tracks that should not be missed. As well as reasons why we think the album was so influential and successful.
The Album Breakdown
In 1967 Surrealistic Pillow captured the psych movement that was growing at some pace! It blended together folk, rock and experimental sounds. They created one of the defining albums of the summer of love.
Grace Slick arrived on the scene to give the band a stronger and more distinctive voice. It elevated the songs beyond other bands at the time. Today the album remains a cornerstone release in psych rock.
Highlight Tracks
This is the bands most iconic song! Build around a hypnotic arrangement and delivered by Slick’s commanding vocals. It builds tension slowly before reaching a huge unforgettable finale.
One of the biggest rock singles of all of the 60s! Somebody to love combines powerful vocals with an infectious energy. It somehow remains fresh to this day!
The softer side of the album, it showcases the bands folk influences with a warm and heartfelt recording.
