Our Take

Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Shady Grove" takes us on a psychedelic journey through time and space, like a whimsical trip on a magic carpet made of guitar strings and cosmic vibes. This album, released in 1969, still manages to captivate listeners with its dreamy melodies and far-out instrumentals.

The band's signature blend of rock and folk influences creates a sound that is both nostalgic and groundbreaking, like a lost gem unearthed from the annals of music history. From the haunting vocals of Dino Valenti to the intricate guitar work of John Cipollina, every track on "Shady Grove" is a sonic delight that transports us to a hazy, sun-drenched landscape where the only rule is to let the music wash over you.

Tracks like "Maiden of the Cancer Moon" and "Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder" showcase the band's virtuosity and experimental spirit, while the title track "Shady Grove" is a laid-back groove that invites you to kick back and relax in a cloud of incense and patchouli.

So, whether you're a seasoned hippie or a curious newcomer to the psychedelic scene, Quicksilver Messenger Service's "Shady Grove" is a must-listen for anyone looking to experience the full spectrum of 60s counterculture. Take a trip down memory lane and let the music envelop you in its warm, kaleidoscopic embrace - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Quicksilver Messenger Service

Quicksilver Messenger Service aren't just a band, they're a time machine. These psychedelic pioneers have been bending minds and melting faces since the 1960s, and they're still going strong today. With their complex, improvisational jams and mind-bending lyrics, Quicksilver have always been ahead of their time. Formed in San Francisco in 1965, Quicksilver Messenger Service quickly became a cornerstone of the city's vibrant psychedelic scene. With their mind-bending live performances and groundbreaking albums like "Happy Trails" and "Just for Love," they helped define the sound of the era. Quicksilver are known for their elaborate, guitar-driven jams that can go on for days. With the dual guitar attack of John Cipollina and Gary Duncan leading the charge, the band's sound is a swirling mix of jazz, blues, and good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll. But it's not just their music that sets Quicksilver apart. These guys were true pioneers of the hippie philosophy, with their laid-back attitude and commitment to peace, love, and good vibes. Plus, their fashion sense is second to none – who else could pull off paisley bell bottoms and tie-dye like these guys? Over the years, Quicksilver Messenger Service have weathered breakups, reunions, and everything in between. But through it all, they've remained true to their unique sound and vision. So whether you're a hardcore fan or a casual listener, one thing's for sure – Quicksilver Messenger Service are a band like no other. Pack your bags, hop on the magic bus, and take a trip with these psychedelic legends.
