Shortly before he appeared on the landmark Advancement LP in 1969, vibraphone virtuoso Lynn Blessing released this, his only solo album. A superb fusion of jazz and laid-back psychedelia, it features musicians such as Sneaky Pete Kleinow (Flying Burrito Brothers, John Lennon, Frank Zappa) and Wolfgang Melz (the Association, Gabor Szabo) and was produced by legendary jazz flautist Paul Horn (Miles Davis, Donovan). Including a handful of mellow originals alongside unorthodox covers of songs by the Beatles, the Byrds, the Who, Bob Dylan and Judee Sill, it's a laid-back delight from start to finish.
