Audio Remasterer: Andrew Thompson .
Liner Note Author: John Tobler.
Recording information: Golden State Recorders, San Francisco, CA.
This 2014 three-fer contains Loosen Up Naturally, The Sons, and Follow Your Heart, the albums the Sons of Champlin recorded between 1969 and 1971. These are also the Sons' first three albums and it's possible to hear them stretch out with each subsequent record, deepening their grooves, highlighting their jazz inflections, and eventually folding in a rather smooth, sun-kissed gloss. Unlike many of their San Franciscan brethren, they weren't particularly hard-edged or Dionysian: they had a stronger sense of soul and rhythm, they reveled in feel over texture. This can mean that all three of these records meander a bit -- songwriting wasn't a Sons specialty -- but there's an open-hearted attitude to the trinity that remains appealing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
