'69 Was A Very Good Year

"Good year for The Mets & movies & the music from those movies. I came across this bargain priced CD and was excited at such a mix of songs by various artists. Perfect party playing--especially if a themed 60's gathering! You know, candles, bean bag chairs, Japanese lanterns swaying a bit out of line & maybe some Boonesfarm wine!I mean, Jimi Hendrix alone winding the zone in All Along The Watchtower gets you moving. Twelve other tracks twisting through some country to pop to rock just add to the "groovin". Cream with White Room....Goin' Up The Country by Canned Heat....Green River by CCR....Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues and even a great to hear again Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In by The Fifth Dimension. A great soundtrack compilation.Excuse me--gotta go--am playing air guitar with Jimi!"

Good movie, better soundtrack.

"Though I did like things about the film (Winona), I like everything about the music. And, I admit the tracklist is pretty typical, but that's also what makes it so good. It's classic rock. How can anyone not like an album full of Hendrix, CCR, Canned Heat, Zombies, Blind Faith, CSN, and more? If this disc doesn't make you feel like it's 1969, nothing will. In fact, I relate it to the times way more than the movie. It's hard not to. Give it a spin the next time you light up the insence."
