Eden Ahbez - Wild Boy – The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez album flac

When Eden Ahbez died at the age of eighty-six in 1995, he was, from the view of pop culture history that revolves around movements, the forefather of psychedelic music and the first West Coast hippie. Labels as such seem to reduce the individual to a series of descriptors intended to measure him against standards of the form, which is problematic itself on a number of levels. The other established Ahbez work is his lone solo album, 'Eden's Island. First released on Del-Fi Records in 1960, it sold less than 500 copies. During the tiki revival of the 1990s, however, 'Eden's Island' was rediscovered and became a cult item. This new LP is mostly comprised of songs that fall somewhere between Nature Boy and 'Eden's Island,' and show Ahbez both struggling to replicate the success of his inaugural hit and slowly transforming himself from Tin Pan Alley songwriter into offbeat solo artist.

Eden Ahbez (Artist) Format: Vinyl. Over the past twenty years Ahbez has gone from cult figure to harbinger of the Sixties flower-power movement. This notion is born out largely by his 1948 anthem of universal love, Nature Boy, and his rare solo album from 1960, titled 'Eden's Island'-one of popular music's earliest concept albums. Wild Boy: The Lost Songs Of Eden Ahbez' both expands the Ahbez catalog and deepens the notion of a psychedelic movement having roots in the 1950s.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, George Alexander Aberle renamed himself Eden Ahbez, a name that was to be influential both in the exotica music sound and the hippie movement as a whole. His lifestyle, which apparently included living underneath the iconic sign of Hollywood hill, gave birth to a new way of living and this transpired to the music he made, a loose and magical sort of bop jazz with a humorous tone.

George Alexander Aberle, known as eden ahbez (April 15, 1908 – March 4, 1995), was an American songwriter and recording artist of the 1940s to 1960s, whose lifestyle in California was influential in the hippie movement. Ahbez composed the song "Nature Boy", which became a No. 1 hit for eight weeks in 1948 for Nat "King" Cole. Living a bucolic life from at least the 1940s, he traveled in sandals and wore shoulder-length hair and beard, and white robes.

Musically, Ahbez' 1960 outing was squarely in line with the exotica fad, utilizing then-unusual combinations of instruments (flutes, bongos, vibes) and sound effects like creaking boats to conjure up the aural equivalent of a tropical breeze. Unlike Martin Denny or Arthur Lyman, Ahbez often added his own spoken poetry, speaking of coves, paradise, and other idyllic subjects. Occasionally he even sang in a thin voice (he's no Nat King Cole).
