Natural Child - Brewer & Shipley

Natural Child - Brewer & Shipley
3:49
Shake Off the Demon, 1971
Written by Mike Brewer and Tom Shipley

I think the first thing the discerning modern listener notices about this album is the mustaches.  It was an era when a mustache and a guitar could get you a recording contract.  I think I've said that before.  It's possible that this song is the quintessential hippie folk-rock zeitgeist. "Natural child / Got to keep hopin’ for one thing / Natural child / The human race."  Might you hear this in a drum circle, hippies leaping about?  Yes, you might well.  A folk rock jam, all positive vibes and congas and jangly violins.
