5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring their new-found musical freedom, December 30, 2004

After recording blue-eyed soul for Atlantic for years, The Rascals signed with Columbia Records and were given a new-found musical freedom that resulted in two extraordinary albums. Peaceful World and Island of Real. Both albums were a definite departure from their Atlantic hits. Unfortunately, the music buying public agreed. Both albums include significant jazz influences and are VERY well done. If you haven't heard them, you should. I frequently used the Peaceful World album, particularly the track "Mother Nature Land" when selecting new stereo components, because of the variety of instruments (and frequencies of sound) in the album. Very nice to listen to (again).

This is a long-awaited re-release: One of the Rascals' best, released toward the end of their career, finds them reaching out to soul, extended jazz jams, and Sly Stone-like funk workouts. The mood is joyful, the musicianship high (with assists from some top-notch jazz artists sitting in), and the entire atmoshphere entirely enjoyable. Standout tracks include the title track, the cosmic "Sky Trane" and the chart hit "Love Me."

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Time Fan, January 27, 2000

This review is from: Peaceful World (Audio CD)

I bought this album when it first came out in about 1970 and have played the title track so much, it's worn out, so I haven't listened to it in a while. I have been looking for a cd to replace the album and am glad I found it. The track Peaceful World is the kind of music you can listen to and go on a "trip" without drugs...very laid back. Most of the rest of the tracks are very good also.
