Though they are often only referred to in passing, as a sort of footnote of the '60s West Coast scene, Los Angeles group Hearts And Flowers were actually one of the most eclectic groups of the time, incorporating elements of psych and country into their folk-rock sound. Founded by Larry Murray, a southern transplant to LA and a graduate of the same vibrant Southern California bluegrass scene that gave way to Byrds and Burritos, the group's debut, 'Now Is The Time For Hearts And Flowers', is a classic album that deserves mention in the same breath as The Byrds' 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo' or the Beau Brummels' 'Bradley's Barn'.
