Negative Positive
Title: When everything wasn't possible.
Review: This late 60s band featured Daryl Hall (later of Hall and Oates) and Tim Moore (solo blue-eyed soul performer who wrote "Rock 'n' Roll Loveletter" and "Second Avenue," among other songs that would later be covered by the Bay City Rollers, Art Garfunkel, David Cassidy, Cliff Richard and more.) This album is a chance to hear young, raw talent from people who would later impress the world with soulful, tight, entertaining pop and rock. "Truly Good Song" is one of those anthemic songs about American wealth vs. world poverty that could have become a "We Are the World" or "Hands Across America"-type ballad to feeding the world. The fuzz guitar on songs like "Lemon Road" creates enchanting glimpses into a musical era where everything wasn't possible, but musicians were trying to smash through some blurry musical boundaries. This album is worth a listen, because it features a talented cast of soulful rockers just figuring out who they are.
