Here, we offer four hours of stoned, mellow, cosmic funky, jazzy rock and soul; slow-mo grooves from dusk \u2019til dawn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As happenings gave way to festivals and psychedelic rock opened up the doors to more soulful, spiritual and political themes, bands like NYC\u2019s The Rascals reinvented themselves as saviours for the dawning age. Opening up with \u2018Visit To Mother Nature Land\u2019 (from 1971\u2019s <em>Peaceful World<\/em>) The Rascals set the theme for this good-vibed playlist \u2013 the mood, the peaceful outlook, the flute, the rhythm. After falling in love again with later era Rascals, songs like Sopwith Camel\u2019s \u2018Fazon\u2019, The Steve Miller Band\u2019s \u2018Fly Like An Eagle\u2019 and The Youngblood\u2019s \u2018Darkness Darkness\u2019 were etched into my mind. This later era of the hippie movement looked back to the eras of folk and blues, whilst having been enraptured by the progressive nature of soul, funk, and jazz. It\u2019s all in the mix here \u2013 a range of music that is perfect for naked \u201cidiot dancing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The West Coast did this best, and San Francisco and Los Angeles are well-represented. Of note, are the post-Morrison Doors and their Latin-tinged \u2018Ship With \u00a0Sails\u2019 (from \u201971\u2019s <em>Other Voices \u2013 <\/em>granted there\u2019s little in the vocal department, but the swampy musical layers are fantastic) and the brilliantly relaxed theme tune to the \u201974 Western <em>Thomasina &amp; Bushrod <\/em>by none other than a \u201970s incarnation of Love. Spirit\u2019s \u2018Fog\u2019 (from their second album, \u201968\u2019s <em>The Band That Play Together<\/em>) is early morning sunrise perfection, as is festival faves Canned Heat\u2019s \u2018Time Was\u2019 (from their \u201968 <em>Hallelujah<\/em> album). The Byrds and Gene Clark also show up, as do The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac. On the San Fran side are some early \u201970s outings from The Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service, whilst second tier acts like Sons Of The Champlin, Joy Of Cooking, The Loading Zone, Stoneground offer up blissful soul-inspired tunes. On that note, Curtis Mayfield, Terry Callier, Sweetwater, The Isley Brothers and numerous other Black acts fit in perfectly. This, after all was the time of assimilation. The Rotary Connection\u2019s \u2018I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun\u2019 displays this move of Black and White, hippies and soul musicians quite brilliantly. Then there are the turned-on jazzers Gil Scott Heron, Alice Coltrane and Leon Thomas who knew a dose of the cosmic when it came their way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<em>Mother Nature<\/em> is the perfect playlist for August. It rarely breaks a sweat and is as cool as \u2018Fazon\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 Jon &#8216;Mojo&#8217; Mills \/Shindig! magazine in partnership with Qobuz<\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F6510&#038;t=Exclusive%20Shindig%21%20Qobuz%20playlist%20%2315%3A%20Mother%20Nature&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F6510&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F07%2FHolder.png&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Exclusive%20Shindig%21%20Qobuz%20playlist%20%2315%3A%20Mother%20Nature\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F6510&#038;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Exclusive%20Shindig%21%20Qobuz%20playlist%20%2315%3A%20Mother%20Nature&#038;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F6510\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re very excited to be media partners with the truly\u00a0unique online streaming platform and\u00a0download store\u00a0Qobuz.
