{"product_id":"sad-about-the-times","title":"Sad About The Times","description":"THE NEW ANTHOLOGY COMPILATION BY MIKEY YOUNG \u0026 KEITH ABRAHAMSSON POWER POP, PSYCH FOLK, 70S SOFT ROCK\n100% GUARANTEED SADNESS\nHas the era you live in ever got you down? You may not always be able to pull yourself out of that sadness, but you can at least soothe your blues with songs like these. Mikey Young (Total Control \/ Eddy Suppression Ring) and Keith Abrahamsson (Artistic Director at Anthology Recordings) collaborate again after their compilation Follow The Sun (2017) to bring you Sad About the Times, a collection of 70s North American jammers. With a touch of West Coast jangles here and there, these tracks cross the border between the power pop of the era and drug-fueled late-night jams. You can also hear echoes of folk rock, soft rock, and even detect some psychedelic flashbacks. However, despite the genre deviations, the atmosphere of Sad About The Times remains dominated by soulful vocals. These songs follow in the wake of the psychedelic 60s, after extravagant idealism had run its course and singer-songwriters had risen to prominence. After the party, reality sets in. All these tracks could have been hits. In their own way, they all subtly convey universal emotions, difficult to describe but easy to feel. Sadness can be life-affirming; these songs can open that door. If they couldn't, they wouldn't be so enjoyable. \"Heaven is boring, hell is where the action is,\" someone said; but if you mix the two together, you might find songs like these. 20 tracks with Willow, Jim Spencer, Sky, Emmett Finley, David Chalmers, Hoover, Perth County Conspiracy, Jode, Norma Tanega, and many more.
