Guitarist Sam Brow, rhythm guitarist Wyatt Day, drummer Joe Hunt, trumpet player Jimmy Owens, trombone player John Pierson, and bassist Jonathan Raskin had all been members of ARS Nova.
So here's what the album liner notes have to say: ""Hair" is the biggest hit Broadway musical since "The Sound of Music": almost ten years ago Today, more than a year since "Hair" opened on Broadway in April, 1968, it is a nightly sellout in New York Los Angeles, London, West Germany, and Scandinavia. According to Time Magazine, "Hair" is the "My Fair Lady" on the "now generation".
The success of "Hair" as a show is only part of the story; the score of "Hair" has given rise to four hits songs, Aquarius, Let the Sunshine In, Hair, and Good Morning Starshine. More than half of the 28 tunes in the show have been recorded and the original Broadway cast LP has earned a gold record for sales over $1,000,0000. Event he London cast album (on Atco Records) has become a strong seller in the U.S.
With all the recording activity on the "Hair" score it might seem difficult for a new group to come through with a "Hair" LP that is both fresh and meaningful. But The Terminal Barbershop, a well known and tremendously talented group of musicians with a new name, have done it. Their versions of Let the Sunshine In, Hair, Aquarius, and other catchy tunes from the melodic score are lively, exciting and tasteful. Some of the songs are performed as straight instrumentals, others with vocals by The Wonderous Joy Clouds., but either way they're superb. If you've never heard the music from "Hair" (as unlikely as that is), you'll thoroughly enjoy this album. If you are already a devoted "Hair" fan, you'll dig these fresh "Hair Styles" by The Terminal Barbershop."
Strip away the flowery marketing commentary and the description was actually fairly apt. Produced by Arthur Gorson, the album featured a largely instrumental collection of songs pulled from the "Hair" soundtrack. The only non-instrumental was the closing 'Let the Sunshine In' refrain. Courtesy of Wyatt Day and Jon Pierson, most of the tracks were given a light classical feel that occasionally recalled the first ARS Nova album, but abandoned folk and psych touches in favor of MOR moves like the Baja Marimba Band-styled 'Good Morning Starshine'. Even in the flood of "Hair" related albums, this one's an oddball release. Anyone who has ever heard the first two ARS Nova LPs knows these guys had some chops
