Clearly modeled on the Mama's and The Papa.s, this obscure Canadian vocal orientated 60s pop group is a pleasant and enjoyable listen with this mix of originals and covers. Like their Californian counterparts, their harmony singing is excellent and this mellow offering maintains a reasonable quality throughout.Good bass lines, plenty of well arranged strings, quaint 60s lyrics with a hint of Beatles, of course, and some nice psychedelic guitar, this should keep any 60s pop fan happy. "Let the Truth Come Out" has some excellent Neil Young Style guitaring, and their cover of Bobby Gentry's "Papa won't let Me Go to Town With You" has a real jazzy vibe. Sometimes its gets a bit sugary, but there are no songs that I have any real aversion too.My Rating 3/5. Another quality rare post from Rare MP3 Music.co.uk
