Stills-Young Band (1976) Ocean Girl - LOST 70s GEMS
A romantic ditty that starts with standard 70s soft piano with a nice addition of a Stephen Still' raw wah wah guitar underlining the raging feelings with it's vapid strikes reminding us of that incredible interplay the two had on the first Buffalo Springfield album released ten years prior. The wah wahs' stretchy, acid drenched tone, though originally steeped in the funk and psychedelia genres it was a flexible device in 70s music popping up in country, pop, disco standards and all kinds of TV theme tunes. I think because it expressed a strong emotive quality from the menacing to the romantic it always sounded hormonal and rich in deep feelings..always.
