Painting the Day: The Angelic Psychedelia of the
Compilation from the ultimate American teen act of sunshine pop psych, possibly only rivaled by the Monkees in terms of popularity in the genre. And they didn't even come from California!! The difference is the Cowsills were a real family band, formed by their father Bud Cowsill at the time of Beatlemania, and featuring his four sons, one daughter and wife. Their hits crossed over very quickly from being fun-for-all-the-family prime time pop to hippy anthems. Rivaled only by the Free Design in terms of sheer vocal dexterity, they released several classic singles including 'The Rain, The Park And Other Things'. All are included here on this compilation of the finest harmony vocal pop you will ever hear. EL. 2006.
