Cult singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock is one of the most enduring and influential in psychedelic pop. He's released hundreds of songs in a career that started with his Cambridge-based proto-psych-punk band The Soft Boys in the 70s. The Soft Boys triggered the psychedelic revival of the 1980s and had a massive influence on R.E.M. Part of Hitchcock's appeal is his sublime use of melody, harmony and his bright, vivid imagination, which stems from his love of 60s psychedelia as a teen. 1967 appears to have been the most pivotal of the groovy decade for him, as he has produced this album of covers of songs from that year to go with his memoir (1967: How I Got There And Why I Never Left). To his credit, Hitchcock captures the blissful spirit of music from that year and there some big hits here - such as The Kinks 'Waterloo Sunset' and Pink Floyd's 'See Emily Play'- delivered with intimate lo-fi charm. With limited tools (most often it's just his voice and reverb-tinged guitar on here with no drums) Hitchcock captivates and encourages deeper appreciation of one of the greatest eras of songwriting ever.
