Notes

Hearts and Flowers were a self-described "Georgia country folk meets Hawaiian ukelele folk-rock group" (actually, they used a lot of autoharp) whose two releases for Capitol are highly prized by ‘60s rock aficionados, here compiled together and out on CD for the first time. But that’s only HALF the story—we’ve also managed to dig up 13 unreleased tracks from the Capitol vaults, including very groovy (sitar!) versions of the Fred Neil tunes "Everybody’s Talking" and "Other Side of This Life" as well as some fine originals. The glorious sum: 35 tracks of late-‘60s SoCal folk rock (and you know that can’t be bad!) on two CDs, annotated by folk-rock authority Richie Unterberger. Collector’s note: future Eagle Bernie Leadon joins the band for their second album.
