Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered reissue of the West Coast band's acclaimed 1968 debut album Sweetwater were an unusual eight piece aggregation whose budding career was cruelly cut short by tragedy. Formed out of coffee house jams in LA under the benign eye of Roger McGuinn's sometime cowriter Harvey Gerst, Sweetwater played a fresh and happening fusion of Psychedelia, Jazz and Classical music. Their first album, produced by the great Dave Hassinger, established them as a force to be reckoned with, and landed them tours with The Doors and Eric Burdon and The Animals, and in time the coveted opening slot on the Woodstock festival (though they ended up going on later thanks to backstage shenanigans). In December 1969 it all came skidding to a halt, as 20 year old singer Nansi Nevins was involved in a serious car smash, which left her in a coma with severe brain trauma and damaged vocal cords, necessitating years of therapy. 11 tracks. Rev-Ola. 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took me back, October 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sweetwater (Audio CD)
I remember going to their concert back in the day. They opened for Iron Butterfly and they got so many encores. They blew everyone away. Iron Butterfly played twice as good as usual to make up for it and also blew everyone away. It was so sad when they got into the car accident. They were on their way to stardom.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Hokey But Fun, December 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sweetwater (Audio CD)
If you are not put off by the hokum these folks were unafraid to incorporate into their songs at times, this is quite an enjoyable album by a sixties band with a lot of promise with a career cut short by tragedy. Much has been made of their appointed slot to open Woodstock in '69, which they sacrificed to Mr. Havens, but that's neither here nor there. (Sha Na Na might have been given the opening slot at Woodstock, and that would prove...what?) This is mostly very mellow, very groovy stuff, sometimes too groovy for its own good, but the real thing, and it should be appreciated for being the real thing. If lyrics like "I'm in a rainbow and I'm feeling mighty good" don't make you cringe, add a star. There's some really good music on this, to be sure.
