SLEEVE EX but please, see pictures and read above description
During their brief heyday -- lasting all of three albums -- they drew from Byrds-ish folk-rock,
Stones-ish hard rock, blues, jazz, flamenco, and even light orchestral pop to create a heady stew of their own.
They were also one of the first integrated rock groups, led by genius singer/songwriter Arthur Lee,
one of the most idiosyncratic and enigmatic talents of the 60s.
Stars in their native Los Angeles and an early inspiration to the Doors.
Love s debut is both their hardest-rocking early album and their most Byrds-influenced.
A few of the tracks are great, though: their punky rendition of Bacharach/David s My Little Red Book
was a minor hit, Signed D.C. and Mushroom Clouds were superbly moody ballads,
and Bryan Maclean s Softly to Me served notice
that Lee wasn t the only songwriter of note in the band... AllMusic
