[isdntekvideo]THE POPPY FAMILY
The spacious production is a stoke of genious, and the use of sitar, tabla andfuzz guitar injections transforms each little melancholic psychpop-tune into pure hi-fi heaven. Blonde bombshell wife of Terry, Susan Jacks, had the sweetest most, heartfelt voice imaginable. Susan was obviously always way out of husband Terry's league. The Poppy Family were the most popular Canadian act in the late sixties, and Which Way You Goin' Billy? is teeming with incredible, well-crafted pop-psych songs (including the disc's namesake #1 single, and the 1970 single That's Where I Went Wrong).
Sound-wise, you're going to hear delightful, catchy hippie's sunshine pop-psych at its best. Husband and wife Terry and Susan Jacks trade off on vocals, and they had an Indian drummer, Satwan Singh, who brought something distinctly unique to their sound, with his tabla / bongos playing, which, to this day, no one else has has captured...
