专辑简介
Wendy Flower's "Flower Power" CD creates a `60s musical vibe for today's families. It contains original, uplifting folk-rock songs with positive messages for young people. Themes include peace, brotherhood, freedom, hope, individuality, imagination, community, activism, the environment and animal rights. The aim is to help kids understand that they CAN make a difference.
Also featured is a cover of Rick Nelson's "Easy To Be Free." The CD's sound calls to mind the Byrds, Mamas & Papas, Simon & Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Wendy is best remembered from her cult classic, Wendy & Bonnie's "Genesis," recorded in 1969 with her sister. It was recently released on CD by Sundazed, to rave reviews.
Wendy's latest effort, the "Flower Power" CD, actually was sparked by her husband Paul Freeman's award-winning screenplay of the same name. It's a heartwarming comedy-drama about a forgotten protest singer.
Huey Lewis, who was interested in playing the lead at one time, suggested that Wendy and Paul complete all the snippets of songs that were sprinkled into the script.
So it became an album, original songs reflecting '60s ideals for 21st century families. The album offers a "homemade" charm.
The children in her Bay Area music classes have already been enjoying the songs. Now these uplifting tunes are available to the public. They're designed to appeal to all ages. While this material is highly entertaining, it's also effective as a resource for parents and teachers.
A portion of the proceeds from "Flower Power" goes to Free the Children. Free the Children is the largest network of children helping children through education in the world, having directly impacted over 1 million children in 45 countries through its projects.
