Barefoot In Your Head

Fresh out of law college, Cashman, Pistilli & West hung up their shingle on New York's bustling Bleecker Street. Gazing out at the parade of hippies in the sunshine, they cried as one, "Fuck this shit! It's only gonna be 1967 once!"

 Tearing their diplomas into confetti, they led a procession of flower children to Central Park, and as they danced barefoot this album sprang fully-formed from their lips. It's so saturated with sunshine you get a tan from just listening to it. Spanky & Our Gang heard it, and had a hit with Sunday Will Never Be The Same, included on their first album.

Later, the clouds rolled over, but you can roll 'em back right now with these swell none-more-sixty-seven slices of sunshine-pop salami.

 Run barefoot in your head, while you still can. Be as young as you want.

    Thanks, Farquhar. Hated this stuff when it came out. Love it now as I walk to the rear of the checkout line. Did Cashman really say that?

      Hmm. I've noticed my wife loading up on those copper split bolts. Found them hidden away. Over and out.

    Loved Cashman, Pistilli & West - all this sunshine pop that has been hidden from me all these years. Now I'm gonna sell all my True Norwegian Black Metal records + my complete Nurse With Wound-list collection and start a new life.

    I have CP&W's later album, and the albums they made as C&W, where they do their Simon & Garfunkel thang. Talented NY dudes. And I'll up all the Spanky albums, but none is as great as the one already posted (see "Neon ear candy" - May)

    Little known fact: Spanky "Spanx" Blakely went on to revolutionize the diet-less "weight loss" industry in the late 90s with his wife Sara.

    Most any LP on ABC is worth hearing.

      With pleasure, you only have to ask again, adding a mildly amusing nickname by which you will become known at th' House O'Foam©.
