#1466 The Guess Who - Canned Wheat

Bog standard 1969 rock album, right on that cusp where psychadelia was mellowing into pretty shapes, plenty of harmonies, guitar solos, folky flourishes, all utterly Crosby, Birds, Small Faces, etc. There's jazzy, brushy drums, spacious spaces, flutey flights, totally agreeable, quite good in places, but strangely completely forgettable, meandering in familiar tempos and keys that do nothing to challenge, that set you gently on your pillow and might have never been 3/5
