Gordon Alexander

Gordon Alexander Put Out An Obscure Singer/songwriter Album Mixing Slightly Trippy Lyrical Sensibilities With More Pop-Friendly Arrangements In 1968. Gordon Alexander Was A Singer From California Who Released An Album Called Gordon's Buster Which Features The Song "A Bunch Of Us Were Sitting Around A Candle In San Francisco Getting Stoned And I Hope You're There Next Time." Gordon Alexander Offering Songs That Reflected The Beatific Side Of The Hippie Experience On Gordon's Buster Yet In A Mild Faintly Sunshine-Pop-Influenced Style That Steered It Well Clear Of The Weirdest Things Coming Out Of California At The Time. There's A Sense Of The Playful Psych-Pop Of Say Sagittarius Or Chris Lucey/Bobby Jameson Yet Alexander Seems Earthier And A Little More Connected To Some Genuinely Stoned Whimsy. Gratuitous Washes Of Echo And Distorted Guitar Come Into The Mix At Times Yet Sometimes It Sounds Like He's Trying To Do A Psychedelic Take On Glen Campbell. In All It's An Eclectic Period Curiosity With Some Interesting Baroque Touches. read less
