having long been interested in legendary woodstock festival, it was great surprise to find out about group i had never heard taken part on it. when i learned this record had come available it was easy decision to buy it. it is sweetwater´s first album from 1968. group is made of 8 members and instruments played include,flute,conga,bongos,cello,bass,drums,guitar,keyboard instruments like harpsichord. music is not ordinary psychedelic music but hippy music, rhythm is not strong,but flowing with lot of background vocals multilayered, giving sort of fairy feeling with flute emphasising this. two worlds is most common rock song,beat more to the fore. this music resembles incredible string band. this is a good record as long as you know what you´re getting. this type of music is hard to come by.
This is probably my favorite album by Sweetwater. Sweetwater was growing popularity soon after they released this album. Their mix of rock, blues, and classical music made them the best hippie band out there! They have a sound TOTALLY different from anyone you've ever heard before because they mix classical instruments with newer ones. Sweetwater used flute, cello, conga, keyboard, drums, bass guitar, and EXPLOSIVE vocals from lead singer Nansi Nevins. Sweetwater opened the Woodstock festival in 1969, and soon after Nansi got into a car accident that nearly killed her- but instead, damaged her vocal chords forever. Nansi Nevins was the BEST SINGER I HAVE EVER HEARD before her accident. If you think this is an interesting story, buy the album and buy the MOVIE too! It's called "Sweetwater: A True Rock Story". You WON'T be disappointed...I promise!Read full review
