Feelings (The Grass Roots album)
''Feelings'' is the third album by the American rock group The Grass Roots. The album was originally released by Dunhill Records in 1968. It contained many songs composed by the group's members and studio performances of the musician's instrumentation. The album was intended to take the group into a heavier psychedelic direction with their music. The A and B side singles released were "Melody For You", "Hey Friend", "Feelings", "Here's Where You Belong", "Who Will You Be Tomorrow", "Hot Bright Lights", "All Good Things Come To An End" and "You And Love Are The Same". Midway during this run "Midnight Confessions" was released as an A side and became the group's highest charting single.
==Songs==
The songs featured unique touches by arranger Jimmie Haskell. The songs were a 50/50 split between outside composers and the group. It had intricate orchestration and a great example of what the band members were capable of as musicians and songwriters had the record company continued to allow them creative freedom. The title song was created back in 1966 in the pre Grass Roots garage group named the 13th Floor. Fukomoto was the main composer and Entner & Coonce helped with the arrangements. The song featured a powerful sustained fuzz guitar and Eastern influences giving it a heavy 1968 psychedelic flavor.
This theme was continued with other group composed songs. "Who Will You Be Tomorrow" contained references to George Harrison and other pop culture themes, "Hot Bright Lights" reflected the group's stage life. It featured an extended fuzzy lead guitar performance by Bratton moving seamlessly into the songs "Hey Friend" and "You And Love Are The Same" written by Entner & Grill. The contributions by outside composers were a bit lighter but still psychedelic, helping to balance the total experience of the album.
However, Dunhill Records executives became dismayed by the inability of the single releases to chart at their time of release. They decided that since "Midnight Confessions" performed so well in the charts, they would issue the first greatest hits album ''Golden Grass'' which included the high charting song. They then decided to take the group output into a new direction with a strong use of horns and wind instruments. A new soulful direction surfaced on their next regular album titled ''Lovin' Things''. This strategy proved wise as the group continued to move forward with multiple hit records until 1973.
