Our Take

If you're looking for a blast from the past, then look no further than David McWilliams' "Reaching For The Sun: The Major Minor Anthology 1967-1969". This collection of tunes from the late 60s is like a time machine straight to the heart of psychedelic folk rock.

McWilliams takes us on a journey through his whimsical world of catchy melodies and poetic lyrics. From the groovy vibes of "The Days of Pearly Spencer" to the dreamy sounds of "Harlem Lady", each track is a gem in its own right.

One of the standout tracks on the compilation is "Can I Get There by Candlelight", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases McWilliams' raw talent and emotional depth. The way his voice floats over the gentle strumming of the guitar is simply mesmerizing.

While some may dismiss McWilliams as a one-hit wonder, this anthology proves that he was a true visionary in the world of music. His unique blend of folk, rock, and psychedelia is a testament to his creative genius and fearless experimentation.

So if you're in the mood for some trippy tunes and a nostalgic trip down memory lane, give "Reaching For The Sun" a spin. You won't be disappointed. Trust us, this album is a hidden gem that deserves a spot in your music collection.
