“Sweetwater” by Sweetwater - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1968 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
Debut album from the Jefferson-Airplane-inspired Los Angeleans. Uniquely for their type, they refused to allow electric guitars to be included, giving their work an airy feeling, allowing their sophistication to shine through. Eight of them were involved in creating this interesting blend of proggish-psychedelia: Nansi Nevins (lead vocals), Frank Herrera (bass guitar, backing vocals), August Burns (cello), Elpidio Cobian (congas, percussion), Alan Malarowitz (drums), Albert Moore (flute, backing vocals), R.G. Carlyle (acoustic guitar, bongos, backing vocals), Alex Del Zoppo (keyboards, backing vocals).
