Song 386: Green Tambourine

Yeah, I like the Lemon Pipers.

Somewhere in my basement are a few old 45s that I have had since the 1960s. Two of them are recordings of the Lemon Pipers, including “Green Tambourine”. The term “psychedelic pop” was invented for bands like the Lemon Pipers.

(I won’t go into “Rice is Nice”, the other single.)

They broke up due to pressure from their recording label to pigeonhole their sound. But they had a classic before it happened.
