Psychedelicatessen

^Yep I'm aware of Linda Perhacs - she is in my collection already.

Another relatively obscure one for you from my collection, who I think only made one album as so many aspiring singer songwriters did in that late 60's / early 70's period did, is Sally Eaton.

From her 1970 album 'Farewell American Tour' we have 'Flowers in the Air'.

A Psychedelic Pop classic and another great find!

You've picked another winner with Sally Eaton - a psych-pop princess and a Wiccan high priestess too! She reminds me partly of Melanie, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Tyler, although sounding better than all three to my ears.

Here's a song, Once Before You Go

I just added Penny Nichols, Michele O'Malley and Linda Perhacs to my Legends of Laurel Canyon artists index too. They're so good, I now get to feature and listen to them twice over.

Call me a sentimental old fool, but I Love Sunshine Pop and Psychedelic Pop and if I ever went to San Francisco (wearing flowers in my hair), then I'd be first in the queue for a tie-dyed Jefferson Airplane T-shirt in the Haight-Ashbury district. 

AORTA       A Psychedelic Rock band from Chicago who supported some of the major names of the time, including Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and the Mothers of Invention. According to legend, Aorta were offered LSD before a major showcase concert at the Fillmore East and subsequently gave a "train-wreck" performance, and the band were gone in a heartbeat.
