The Rascals - Peaceful World (1971)

The Rascals - Peaceful World

  Felix Cavaliere took the Rascals in 1971 in a direction that had not been experimented with too many time teaming up with some big time jazz luminaries to produce a unique album of soul, funk and jazz charm.   Joining the Rascals is Alice Coltrane, Hubert Laws, Joe Farrell  and Ron Carter adding their talents and moods.

    This double vinyl album contains some pretty trippy and psychy moments actually and at times really takes on a "Blood, Sweat and Tears" like sound.  But there is also funk , progressive , pop and jazz moments too making this a very cool listen.
