Cowsills  : Painting The Day
Painting The Day
acmem69cd

The Cowsills are right up there with the Monkees as classiest of all the American teen groups, the Cowsills were an institution in the late sixties. This 23 track compilation comprises their significant hits,the best of their superb vocal psychedelia and the entire "11 x 11" acid concept album released digitally for the first time anywhere in the world.

Hailing from Rhode Island, The Cowsills were the original "Family of Pop" on whom the Partridge Family were based.

Their father William "Bud" Cowsill, began assembling the group at the height of Beatlemania. Eventually it comprised his sons Bill, Bob, Barry, John and Paul, seven-year-old daughter Susan and their mother Barbara. The Cowsills created highly polished vocal pop and In 1967, after some false starts, their breakthrough single, the very memorable "The Rain the Park & Other Things' reached number 1 on the American chart.

The Cowsills enjoyed two million selling number one hits (both included on this compilation) "The Rain The Park & Other Things" (sometimes known as "I Love The Flower Girl") and their cover of the theme song from the popular musical "Hair" which became a hippy anthem and was banned in Vietnam.

The band's other two immense USA top ten hits "We Can Fly" and "Indian Lake" are also both included on this compilation.
