Gale Garnett & The Gentle Reign - Best Songs from AUDIENCE

A few years after her hit "We'll Sing in the Sunshine," New Zealander Gale Garnett formed a band called Gentle Reign; they released three albums of late-60s psychedelic pop.

AN AUDIENCE WITH THE KING OF WANDS was Gale and the Reign's second album and was released on Columbia Records in 1969.

Here are two of its best songs, the pop/psych single "Breaking Through" and the sensitive, acoustic Tim Buckley cover "Dolphins" (with lead vocals by Bob Ingram).

If you can come across a copy of the album, also check out "That's Not the Way" and "You Could Have Been Anyone"; they're both nice tunes that, unfortunately, I couldn't fit into the video.

I found my copy of the AUDIENCE album several years ago in a record shop in Canton, Ohio for $6.00.

Wow, that's interesting. I would've thought she had written the song 'We'll Sing In the Sunshine' AFTER forming the band. Nice ♪♪♪

Like so much of the 60's Breaking Through music they were already accomplished musicians,

Now I realize Grace Slick coud've stayed in fashion modeling and Gale could've fronted Jefferson Airplane.

I like it..I seem to dig most all the leading ladies of the sixties...they seem sexy to me..!

That's a great shot of her there in the grass...

I'd read how one biographer said that the later music was psychedelic.

I'm glad that I got to hear this. I'd wonder how I'd ever find any of it.

Im uploading it right now, it should be processed when you read this, enjoy :)

Thanks for the upload myrecordcollection, I still dont have this LP :)

She was great... and I love the (mostly?) acoustic backup. Also a treat to hear ANY of Fred Neil's music... pretty true to his delivery. I'd love to have heard Gale doing some of the Phoebe Snow songbag... ^..^
