Personnel include: Curt Boettcher.
It happened to the best of them in the flower-power era: a perfectly fine pop act would suddenly feel the need to go deep and psychedelic, whether to keep up with the changing tastes of old fans or to submit to either the advice of a well-meaning guru or his drugs. And thus Tommy Roe went from recording delicious pop fluff to a brief span of making arty, introspective albums like this 1967 release, issued on CD in 2006 for the first time. Love songs to moon maidens, a pensive double-exposure cover photo, and trippy vocals, strings, and other effects display some '60s damage, but not enough to mar the simple beauty of the songs. The re-release contains the bonus track "Kick Me, Charlie."
