reach out of the darkness

Like a lot of late-’60s rockers, husband-and-wife team of Jim Post and Cathy Conn came out of the folk scene (the Chicago folk scene, in this case) to score on the charts with this album’s title cut, which was adopted as something of an anthem by the protest movement during what was indeed a “dark” time for American politics. The resulting album, which featured the instrumental and production talents of Joe South and Ray Stevens among others, is an utterly charming blend of ‘60s pop-rock, soul and psychedelia, long requested by our customers and reissued here with notes containing extensive quotes from Jim Post himself! Includes Boston Is a Lovely Town; I’m a Woman, I’m a Man; Zig-Zag; Saturday’s Hero; Room to Let (to Rowena with Love); Reach Out of the Darkness; A Wise Man Changes His Mind; Ode to a Dandelion; If Love Is in Your Heart; The Weddin’ March (I Feel Groovy), and The Way We Were in the Beginning.
