Our Take

Prepare to be transported back to the sunshine-soaked sounds of the 1960s with Curt Boettcher and Friends' latest album, "Looking For The Sun." This collection of songs offers a delightful blend of whimsical melodies and dreamy harmonies that will have you reminiscing about the good ol' days of peace, love, and rock 'n' roll.

Boettcher's songwriting shines on tracks like "Sunshine Girl," with its jangly guitars and infectious hooks that will have you bopping along in no time. The Beach Boys-esque harmonies on "California Music" will make you feel like you're cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway with the top down on a sunny day.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Tracks like "Lonely Leaf" and "Rainy Day" offer a glimpse into the darker, more introspective side of Boettcher's songwriting, showcasing his versatility as a musician.

Overall, "Looking For The Sun" is a delightful trip down memory lane that will have you longing for the carefree days of the 60s. Boettcher and his friends have crafted a timeless collection of songs that will have you hitting repeat again and again. So grab your shades, kick back, and let the music take you on a nostalgic journey back to a simpler time.
