PSYCHEDELIC POETS Baywood s Zen Mountain Poets recently released two new singles that are charting on ReverbNation. Emily s Song opens with multi-instrumentalist Robyn Saxer s French horn solo before moving on to some of her sparkling keyboard work. The vocals are a lush wall of sound chorus: Life will never be the same/ My world changed when you came/ Ooo Ooo yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah. This is straight out of Laurel Canyon circa 1970s, with an undeniable old-school California vibe. This revolving group of musicians features core members Saxer, guitarist Billy Clayton, multi-instrumentalist Anthony Roselli, and conga and bass player Mike Flactiff.
