HEARTS AND FLOWERS
DAVID DAWSON, LARRY MURRAY, RICK CUNHA
Hearts and Flowers were one of the most eclectic groups on the Southern California
folk-rock scene in the '60s, skewing more to the folk side of the equation and often
adding flourishes of psychedelia and, most importantly, bluegrass and country music

This debut album is an overlooked precursor to country-rock, echoing the late-'60s Byrds, Stone Poneys,
Gene Clark, and most especially, as Brian Hogg points out in his lengthy liner notes, the Dillards.
Earnest vocals and conscientious harmonies on this subdued, acoustic, and countrified take on folk-rock,
with mild Eastern/psychedelic dabs of autoharp. The songs mix original tunes with covers of Donovan,
Tim Hardin, Hoyt Axton, Kaleidoscope, and Carole King...(AllMusic)
Their first album was released in June 1967. Masterfully produced by Nick Venet (Fred Neil, Stone Poneys,
Euphoria, Mad River), Now Is The Time For Hearts And Flowers is a real gem.
The choice of material is outstanding, with excellent covers of Tim Hardin's Reason To Believe,
Hoyt Axton's 10,000 Sunsets, Carole King's Road To Nowhere and Donovan's Try For The Sun,
plus two songs of contemporary groups: Please, the Kaleidoscope song and Rock And Roll Gypsies
by Gypsy Trips. Their original songs were penned by Murray, Cunha and Marty Cooper.
The vocals are brilliant and Venet added some good production tricks,
with some effects, violin, electric bass...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
