Complete your The Blades Of Grass collection. A few unexciting and unnecessary covers of songs like Help! and Walk away Renee give the album an uneven quality. On the positive side there are innocent sunshine pop tracks as Just ah and Or is it the rain and the best cut Just another face with inventive orchestration and fine harmonies. Still, on the whole this is a notch too boyish and bland to convince.
The Blades of Grass were an American sunshine pop band formed in Maplewood, New Jersey, in 1967. Competing with the abundance of sunshine pop groups originating from California, the Blades of Grass are most-known for their nationally charting rendition of the song "Happy". The band also released an album called The Blades of Grass Are Not for Smoking before disbanding.
New England's Blades of Grass were every bit as good as any of the other so-called sunshine pop groups that surfaced in the psychedelic summer of 1967, and if it weren't for a run of just plain blind bad luck, might have had a chance for bigger and better things. As it was, they managed just one album and a handful of singles before calling it quits
A new version of Last. The Blades of Grass Are Not for Smoking. Overview (current section).
Actually the Blades of Grass' single was the much bigger hit in some markets, like New York, Washington DC, and St. Louis. But the two competing versions of the same song split sales, with the Sunshine Company, generally speaking, doing better in the western half of the country, and the Blades of Grass better in the eastern half. The Blades of Grass Are Not for Smoking Much of the Blades of Grass's personality was subsumed in the studio, where their tracks were given rather heavy orchestration, and where they seldom recorded original material. The Blades of Grass did record a few additional non-LP singles in the late '60s before breaking up. The album, plus seven additional songs (mostly from non-LP 45s), was reissued on CD by Rev-Ola in 2002. mufty77 30 August 2018 23:07. Many thanks for lossless.
