"Love, Peace And Happiness" by The Chambers Brothers (1969)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
The Chambers Brothers "Love, Peace And Happiness"  1969 (USA)
The Chambers Brothers were four brothers from Mississippi who wound up starting a folk and gospel singing group in Los Angeles in the 1950's. In 1965 they made a splash at the Newport Folk Festival at the same time Bob Dylan was electrifying and "inventing folk rock". Their biggest hit came a couple years later by which time they had become more of a psychedelic soul garage band: the original album version of "Time Has Come Today" was a masterful 11-minute psychedelic freakout which didn't make the charts until they chopped it down to a 4-minute single almost a year later. They never scored another hit anywhere near that big, but recorded plenty of great tracks in the late sixties. Their most ambitious release is this week's classic album: a double elpee with one live concert record and one studio record, half of which is the titular track which takes up a whole side of the record and is their longest epic (16 minutes of groovy psychedelic soul.)
