Dig deep in to the released output of famed producer David Axelrod and you’ll discover this gem, Pride. The single self-titled release is the pairing of Axelrod with his son Michael. The father-son duo deliver psychedelic pop with what many may call a Baroque folk-rock twist. Issued in 1970, the project is somewhat in the realm of the output from groups such as Love or The Byrds – but indelibly David Axelrod through and through.

A genuine out-there masterpiece that sounds like nothing else. This mixes classical Spanish guitar, psych, folk and philosophical lyricism with classic Axelrod grooves to produce a freak-folk jazz-tinged dramatic gem. Highly Recommended.
