Hit singles, cult classics and tracks from 1968's key albums as the American music scene moved on from the Summer of Love. While psychedelia had been the dominant musical force in 1967, the scene fragmented the following year. Although many acts remained immersed in garage-punk and psychedelic pop, a growing number of heavily-amplified, blues-based hard rock bands like Blue Cheer, Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly - all of whom enjoyed sizeable hit singles in 1968 - emerged to pave the way for what would develop into heavy metal. Manufactured pop in the form of bubblegum dominated the singles chart, The Byrds and other easy riders developed a country\/rock hybrid, a phalanx of folk-based singer\/songwriters came to the fore, while Bob Dylan and his occasional playmates The Band pioneered a more organic, rustic sound that would come to be known as Americana. Over four hours and 3 CDs, 'Can't Seem To Come Down: The American Sounds Of 1968' weaves together these various strands to provide a fascinating overview of the year. The set encompasses national and regional hit singles, unexpected flops (The Grateful Dead, The Left Banke), subsequently influential mavericks (Velvet Underground, Beefheart, Silver Apples) and vital cuts from many of the year's most keenly-awaited albums (Dylan, The Band, Mothers of Invention, The Byrds, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, etc). It also feature a number of hugely collectable one-off singles from young provincial bands, who visited local studios to preserve their sound for posterity before the real world - and possibly the increasing conflict in Vietnam intervened. Including a 48-page booklet filled with biographical details, rare photos and quotes, 'Can't Seem To Come Down' is another essential Grapefruit purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh Garbage - Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Alive - Things To Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Shoemaker Of Leatherwear Square - The Lemon Pipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Ride, Come Ride - The Merry-Go-Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraft Morning - The Byrds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Along The Watchtower-Bob Dylan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere She Comes Now - TheVelvet Underground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Regrets - Tom Rush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody's Next One -Steppenwolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThing In 'E' - The Savage Resurrection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can't Erase A Mirror -Children Of The Mushroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhich End Is Up - Diamond Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords Of The Raven -Piece Kor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Needs The Peace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorps - The Mothers Of Invention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePretty Song From Psych-Out - Strawberry Alarm Clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree O'clock Merrian Webster Time - The Nomads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrawberry Tuesday -Sidewalk Skipper Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Birch - Del Shannon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelilah - Brian Hyland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Are Your Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery - The Baroque Monthly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreaky Girl - Spontaneous Corruption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Garden Of Earthly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelights - The United States Of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated Music Man -Mortimer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFields Of People - Ars Nova\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Setting Of Despair -Crystal Chandelier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Star (Single Version) - The Grateful Dead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTin Angel (Will You Ever Come Down) - Hearts And Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Arrive - We The People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Poor Old) Mr. Jensen -1910 Fruitgum Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust A Taste - The Kaleidoscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Face - The Human Beinz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEighteen Is Over The Hill - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummer - Lemon Fog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwake In A Dream - The Critters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRupert White - Eternity's Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Your Windows - Quicksilver Messenger Service 10 Three-Part Invention (Too Many Trees In The Forest) - The Phoenix Trolley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaughing Stock - Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Bird - The Beach Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOscillations - Silver Apples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadows - The Electric Prunes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're In My Mind - Graf Zepplin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Is The Bark - The Left Banke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCowboys And Indians - October Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Island - The Millennium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel Of Changes - The Wind In The Willows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLantern Gospel - The World Column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Wheel's On Fire - The Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Single Edit) - Iron Butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP.
