Country 1967

At a time when a growing number of pop songwriters were embracing a more explicitly poetic approach in their lyrics, the 1967 debut album from Leonard Cohen introduced a songwriter who, rather than being inspired by "serious" literature, took up music after establishing himself as a published author and poet…

The Bee Gees were a pop music group formed in 1958. Their lineup consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists…

Baby Grandmothers were one of the most prolific and unique power-trios to emerge out of the scandinavian psychedelic underground-scene in 1967. Although hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, they only released a single in Finland. The band consisted of guitarist Kenny Hakansson, basist Bella Linnarsson and drummer Pelle Ekman. This CD includes extended versions of the single songs and songs which was ment to be included in the film "DOM KALLAR OSS MODS".

Director D.A. Pennebaker's black-and-white 1967 documentary film Don't Look Back largely chronicles Bob Dylan's tour of the U.K. in the spring of 1965, the last outing on which the not-quite-24-year-old singer/songwriter appeared solo, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar and harmonica…

Rock / Psychedelic Rock

Mecki Mark Men were Swedens first Psychedelia band and this debut album from 1967 is so psychedelic and wasted that even the hardcore of both US and German Psych bands would be green with envy. The base is jazzy avantgarde like rock with wasted out there vocals and psyched out structures combined with sitar drone. This is not garagey jingle jangle pop psych of 1967 but hardcore acid psychedelia that became more the norm in the late 60's and early 70's than in 1967. This debut album is a cornerstone of Swedish underground psychedelia. Both Mecki Bodemark (Vocals & organ) and Thomas Mera Gartz (drums, still active with Trдd Grдs och Stenar) are among the founding fathers of Swedish psychelia.
