the wheel

By the time he released this solo album in 1970, Bernie Schwartz was a veteran of the Hollywood music scene, having collaborated with the Everly Brothers on some unsuccessful singles, written songs for the East Side Kids and the Yellow Payges, and played with psych-pop band the Comfortable Chair. Co-produced with Wesley Watt and Bill Lincoln of Euphoria, The Wheel effortlessly spans wild psychedelic rock and gentle ballads. Expertly written, played and sung, it’s a lost classic that makes its long-overdue CD debut here.
