from the ACID ARCHIVES of UNDERGROUND SOUNDS:
"Life Is A Stream" 1971 (Sunlight) 

 Mellow 60s-style folk/folk-pop LPs from ex-Notre Dame/ex-Shaggs member and his sister. The debut is highly rated within the genre and has mostly originals plus a couple of covers. The second LP continues in the same style; these albums differ from the typical hippie folk sounds as they lean more towards vocal soft-pop. Perrin formed the Webster's Last Word record label which had a couple more releases, including First Friday and the "Peoria Folk Anthology" on which he and Mary appear. The LPs were recorded at Golden Voice in Illinois. [PL]

    The first two Chuck and Mary Perrin albums are very similar, pure acoustic guitar and voice duets with crystal clear vocals and sharp phrasing. The vocals are lovely, evoking the greatest joys and wonders of childhood. Some rate these albums at the very top of the solo acoustic genre, though I think they lack variety and the kind of challenging songwriting that would make them more than just vehicles for nice voices. "Next Of Kin" is slightly more complicated than the debut, though both are pretty much of equal quality. "Life Is A Stream" is a much more elaborate production, with a full soft rock band, and includes fleshed out remakes of a few songs from "Next Of Kin." The arrangements work well and give the album depth without sacrificing the innocent feel. About half of the songs are very good, and despite a few spots that are a bit bland or overly precious this could have been a big hit if the cards had fallen correctly. [AM]
