Avis sur le produitLove Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets by Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets (CD, 2007)

Love Is the Song We Sing

This CD box set is a compilation of San Francisco rock back when the music meant something and actually mattered. It has been said that '60s music, much of it out of print and all but ignored for years, was the first music defined by a generation that, in turn, defined both the counterculture and a generation.

This set has some of the better songs from groups of the era, as well as obscure groups and songs you may never have heard before. Unfortunately, it also has some that were not that listenable then and have not stood the test of time. The set could have been more inclusive of the genre at the expense of "throw-away" songs no one would miss.

There was so much more to the San Francisco Sound--which included progressive jazz, rhythm and blues, folk, and folk-rock--than this relative handful of songs. Obscurity has its place, but a stand-alone compilation could benefit from a cross-section of better songs from the better groups. Where, for example, are the 13th Floor Elevators? Any chance for a "Love Is the Song We Sing II"?

The accompanying history is insightful (although you're guessing at who is who in some of the pictures since no one is clearly identified). Design of the CD jacket, however, could be the worst I've seen. Removing and replacing the CDs is all but impossible without the risk of damage.Lire l'avis complet...

San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970

San Francisco Nuggets: Love is the Song We Sing is a superb compilation of San Francisco folk garage and psych songs released from 1965 to 1970. I already had a lot of these songs on other CDs but what sets this box set apart is the many songs that are more obscure. I don't think there is bad song in the whole set.Lire l'avis complet...

a wonderful collection of san fran's 60's music scene

what a wonderful collection of the late sixties music scene in san francisco , it not only covers some of your favorites but also many lesser or all but unkown artists of the day.

This box is a knockout.

Nothing here not to love. The music, of course, is as terrific now as it was then, and the info in the 'booklet' is wonderfully entertaining. Highly recommended.
