Nashville. 1967, Something was in the air and things were about to get weird, Enter Shelby S, Singleton Jr., already a music industry veteran, he went independent with his own Plantation label, Singleton wanted to call the shots and follow his own smarts...he did and the result was incredible success and astounding music, It's all chronicled here: from the bizarre "Japanese Country" of Tokyo Matsu, the lysergic sitar-drenched bop of Ray "Wong" Riley's "Happy Valley CIA" and the affecting, philosophical musings of Dee Mullins' "I Am The Grass" to, of course, the international chart explosion of Jeannie C, Riley's timeless tirade against hypocrisy "Harper Valley PTA", A delirious stew of story songs, topical ruminations, exploitation-freakouts and the finest country-pop you've never heard!
