Self titled debut album from the Mississippi based sunshine pop group Eternity’s Children. Despite some limited US singles chart success the band suffered from a distracted management and poor promotion by their record company.
“Well penned tracks of innocent sunshine pop. Yet, not too sappy for those who dig psych and garage bands from that same era. Vocalist Linda Lawley and the band's tight harmony vocals are their best two assets.”
“I was hoping for something that rocked a little bit, or had some killer harmonies, or some off the wall arrangements, or was at least uptempo sometimes. In my opinion, besides Mrs Bluebird, the songs are very draggy and slow.”
“Sunshine pop is a good label for this group, A lot of it sounds like early 1970s bubblegum so I guess in some ways this group was ahead of its time.”
“If you like music with strong melodies and harmonies, try this. Curt Boetcher worked on much of the album. Mrs. Bluebird is just one of the beautiful, memorable songs.”
“Maybe I'm just not in the mood for straight-up 'lollipops and smiles' songwriting...or maybe the lyrics don't have enough puns...or maybe the singing lacks memorable phrasing...or maybe the sound isn't vibrant enough.”
“The vocals are superb, as to be expected, and the music is solid. This is sunshine pop that is light and cheerful. If you like light pop music with '60s sensibilities, then you should at least give it a listen."
“Listen to this album and feel the warm pop sunshine breeze that will overcome your soul. I could listen to this album countless times and I still wouldn't be tired of it.”
“Another one to be added to the too long list of criminally ignored lost gems. I don't know why they did not become million sellers. There are no weak tracks, the mixed male and female vocals are simply the best I have ever heard. How could such perfection remain unrewarded?”
