Summer of Love

Forty years ago, as many as 100,000 youth flocked to the California Bay Area to join in on "The Summer of Love," the legendary 1967 musical explosion that helped kick off the hippie counterculture. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the "Summer of Love," Rhino Records has released Love Is The Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970, a 77-track collection that attempts to capture the magic of this time. The four-disc package includes music from the incredible ASCAP members who lived in the Bay Area. The compilation features, among other artists, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, the Steve Miller Band and Dan Hicks.
