May 25, 2010

Mushroom's first new set in three years, twelve new originals culminating in a cover of “Singing a Song in the Morning," co-written by Kevin Ayers of the Soft Machine and Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd in heady 1969, is an acoustic guitarist's dream--every song strums and hums with its psychedelic, folksy sound.
