5 out of 5 stars I Love This Song!.......2006-08-03

This song reminds me so much of when I was a teen, growing up when things weren't so messed up. I remember summer nights with all the kids in the neighborhood having water balloon fights, playing hide and seek, the giant spider webs that you run into at night! And the smell of jasmine in the summer air. Those are the days I go back to everytime I hear this song. Too bad kids today can't grow up the way we did back then! They have no idea what they're missing. Great, great song!!!

I love this disc...it brings me back to my living room when I was a teenager and listening to Summer Breeze over and over!! So glad I found this.

5 out of 5 stars There's a NEW Seals & Crofts CD Available!.......2004-12-01

Seals & Crofts have recorded their first album together after a wait of 20 years. It's called 'Traces' and was released in 2004. You can find it at iTunes (download) or CDBaby.com. Unfortunately it is not available at Amazon.com

Here are the details from their homepage (sealsandcrofts.com): "It features new versions of several hits from the 1970's, plus some newer tunes! S & C are in fine voice. Included are a total rearrangement of Hummingbird, Summer Breeze, We May Never Pass This Way Again, and Get Closer (with Dash's daughter Lua and Jimmy's daughter Juliet). Some updated album cuts are added, such as Not Be Found and Euphrates. The album's highlight, however, is the previously unreleased "Change the Copper Into Gold" (inspired by the spiritual odyssey of Dorothy Baker), a mesmerizing song that ranks among Jimmy's best."

I was wondering why most of their albums were never released on CD and again here is an answer from their homepage: "There are still no plans to release any more albums from the 1970's on cd. Only the 'Greatest Hits' and 'Summer Breeze' albums are readily available. Rhino Records, the prolific licensee of the Warners Brothers catalog, had planned a release - but initial plans to issue a multi-disc anthology were scaled back to a single disc, extended hits package that mirrors the old K-Tel 'Seals and Crofts Collection' lp, and add 'Unborn Child', 'Wisdom' and 'First Love'. However, there has been no release date issued for that disc. And so, the wait continues."

Regarding their new album, I like the rearrangements of 'Hummingbird' and 'Diamond Girl' best. And 'Change The Copper Into Gold' is a new gem, but all the tracks are wonderful... like a visit from an old friend. I highly recommend a listen.

Regarding 'Summer Breeze'... I like all the tracks but 'East of Ginger Trees' is my all time favorite. This and the 'Greatest Hits' albums were the only ones released on CD. Unfortunately many fans will never hear most of their other music (which is just as good) until the record companies decide to release it on CD. (I have 6 LPs that still sound great on my turntable. I'd love to hear them on CD!)

5 out of 5 stars Soothing, Uplifting, Beautiful.......2003-12-07

It's quite a mystery to me why only two albums from Seals & Crofts are available on CD (at the current time of this writing): 1972's SUMMER BREEZE, and a greatest hits disc. They have made some wonderful music, and it's quite criminal that their other albums, are either out of print, or on different, hard-to-find formats, like vinyl or 8-track.

Seals & Crofts were a duo who specialized in a mix of soft rock and wistful folk. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Jim Seals, who is the brother of Dan Seals of England Dan & John Ford Coley (remember them, with their lovely hit "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight"), and mandolinist/backing vocalist Dash Crofts, the duo, along with contemporaries such as James Taylor, America, Cat Stevens and others, created wonderful, soothing folk-rock to heal, soothe, and uplift during times of hardship.

SUMMER BREEZE (1972) is a beautiful collection of folk-rock tunes, with reflective, emotional and poignant lyrics - some of which feature spiritual overtones. In fact, a few of the tracks on here adopt small lyrical passages from the Baha'i scriptures. Not only that, the musicianship, arrangements -- it's all of high caliber, which seem to go unnoticed. Jim Seals also possessed one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. In fact, I always thought he had a voice of an Englishman -- he sounds very British.

"Hummingbird" features a gentle, wispy opening with Jim Seals' lovely voice, which reminds one of a mix between Cat Stevens and Phil Collins, backed by some lovely arpeggiated acoustic passages to create a floating aura, as if one were being 'lifted up' as the Baha'i lyric suggests. The rest of the song is a straightforward, mellow, nicely orchestrated track. Lovely vocal harmonies as well. "Funny Little Man" will remind some of Cat Stevens. Features impressive mandolin playing from Crofts. The title track is a mainstay for good reason. Highly enjoyable - even after more than thirty years after it's release.

"East of Ginger Trees" is a lovely, wispy, and breathtaking number, which nicely blends folk with Indian flavors. Features the tabla, tamboura and other instruments, which appear on the 7/4-ish chorus. The vocal harmonies are particularly touching and nostalgic. "Fiddle In The Sky," like the title implies, is a country-folk/rock song with lovely use of the fiddle. Unbelievably beautiful, and too good for words.

The rest of the album is splendid as well, but not necessarily easy to put into words, just like the aforementioned tracks weren't easy to describe as well.

If you're a fan of Cat Stevens, folk-rock, with touches of other elements, and the like, you should enjoy Seals & Crofts tremendously.

    5 out of 5 stars Mellow Magic!.......2006-03-05

    No-one listening to this album could possible guess, without prior knowledge, that on the day previous to the recording of tracks 1-6, Smith had recorded two albums, "Houseparty" and "The Sermon", because the undiminished energy of the group is astounding.Tracks 1 to 4 feature Kenny Burrell but the exchanges between him and Smith could equally have had them billed as Burrell tracks.If I had to choose only one of the four tracks to illustrate the quality of the proceedings it would have to the version of Thelonius Monk's "Hackensack", but they're all object lessons in building slow tracks.The four tracks are also the only recordings that Smith made with Philly Joe Jones. Tracks 5 & 6 have Eddie McFadden taking the guitar role, and Donald Bailey on drums. The version of Horace Silver's "Home Cookin'" is excellent. Blue Note didn't release any of these tracks for 6 years, possibly because they thought the results too mellow. Tracks 7 to 10 have four tracks recorded later in the same year,(October 1958) and feature vocals by Bill Henderson.They're an unusual example of Smith being an accompanyist and the tracks, both issued as Bluenote 45's, are pleasant without being exceptional. However, laying aside any talk that the re-release shortchanges customers, it's worth pointing out that all 6 small group tracks are exceptional and deserve repeated listening, and that the quality of the remastering is excellent. Go buy!

      4 out of 5 stars Harvest For the World!!!.......1999-08-20

      I bought this CD after hearing "Harvest for the World" on the radio. I love that song to death. I like the fact that it sounds so funky and free. The song came out in the seventies, but it made me want to take out my bells and my peasant shirt, put some flowers in my hair, and spin around outside in the flowery fields like the black neo-hippie that I am! It only gets 4 stars because I really only dug one song, but they're the Isley Brothers, so it's automatically good...
