Paisley 7

It's been awhile since I posted a new volume in this Paisley series. The last pick was a few years ago, but there have been tracks in my "holding area" ready to go. I have a few really long tracks I want to post too. A couple of longish tracks on this one, but not as long as the ones I have waiting. Someday I will get to them, when I get the guts to put out a three to four track playlist. If you want my definition of Paisley go see the other volumes. I explain the whole story. Just know I love this stuff. Did you notice the cover? There is a pattern...

Texas Paisley Pick

Similar to the Paisley Pick, these are all paisley songs from Texas based bands. Easy enough. Texas has a very good record with a variety of music. All genres of  music comes out of Texas. Psychedelic Paisley is no exception. Probably the most famous is the 13th Floor Elevators, but The Bubble Puppy and Fever Tree should be up there. Listen to these tracks and find out more about each band, because there are a lot of connections to other music and other bands in here. Like who was in the Moving Sidewalks? Notice the cover. It's similar to the rest of the series, but different.

Paisley Pick 6

By now you either hate me or love me for these reposts of Paisley Picks. Notice that I got over the long tracks, nothing as long as seven minutes here. I know there are plenty more to cover even after this, so if you have a favorite that I missed, Please tell me in the comments, because I know there will be another volume eventually. Volume seven and eight will be here, but first we'll visit Texas (tomorrow). And go back and look for the Garage series because they are posted. And soon after will be the Acid Rock series.

Paisley Pick 5

Coming to the home stretch. Less tracks on this volume, because I left some long tracks to this pick. Of course Iron Butterfly I had to pick the "real" almost 18 minute version, but also the Jefferson Airplane, Lemon Pipers and Rainy Day tracks that all clock in at around ten minutes or so. I love these kind of tracks because it allows the full scale of the Paisley to come through on this repost. A couple of newer tunes and one that could be in Bubblegum Pop, but still crosses the Paisley barrier. Notice the added paisleys = 5.

Paisley Pick 5

092 The United States Of America - The American Metaphysical Circus

093 Pearls Before Swine - Translucent Carriages

094 Jefferson Airplane - Spare Chaynge

101 The Ventures - Guitar Freakout

102 True West - Lucifer Sam

103 Spiral Staircase - More Today Than Yesterday

Paisley Pick 4

We're getting to volume four of this series. As you can tell they mostly all fall into the same category if you go by sound or feeling of a song. You'll notice again the playlist cover. And notice that a couple of the bands are returning on some of the volumes. Remember these are not picked because of significance in the Paisley world, although many are significant. But just because I like them. Look for the next couple more in the next couple more days.

Paisley Pick 3

We continue on in this series of Paisley Picks. This is three of six. By now you probably caught on to the fact that the covers have growing number of Paisleys. Kind of related is the Make Love Not War series that I posted last year. And that I may post again in February with new links. Check that out to see how I classify these differently. Sometime I may have to do an update in this series with some of the newer Paisley tracks. It's funny how it just comes back every now and again. And it's time for a revival.

Paisley Pick 2

Continuing on with the Paisley pick series, you probably figured out that each has some old and some newer psychedelic psongs. That's because this pick has more to do with the sound rather than the era. Also begin to notice the difference in each cover. If you didn't pick up number one, look back a day. And stay tuned for the next few. Go back several days and compare to the Garage picks 1-3. Any similarities?

Paisley Pick 1

Paisley to me is a sound of certain psychedelic songs. They overlap a lot with garage and psychedelic pop. I get that this is mainly a 60's kind of thing, but all through out the decades since, good stuff has come out. Backwards guitars, far out lyrics, echo etc help me to sort out this Paisley pick from the Hippie and Garage and Acid Rock. I hope you enjoy all six of these discs, reposted with love. Several decades of stuff will be mixed in the classic.
