Description

Easy Listening Acid Trip: A Surreal Journey Through Sixties Psychedelic Pop Joseph Lanza's latest exploration delves into the often-overlooked world of psychedelic pop, revealing its unique ability to transport listeners to other worlds. This genre, distinct from the heavier sounds of "acid rock," drew upon a range of influences, including vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley, and British Music Hall traditions. The book takes readers on a journey through iconic songs, such as the Hollyridge Strings' haunting version of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" and Paul Mauriat's lush treatment of Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)." Lanza also shares anecdotes about the intersection of psychedelic pop with Muzak, including the story behind Charles Grean and His Orchestra's instrumental version of the Strawberry Alarm Clock's 1967 hit "Incense and Peppermints."
