Free Music Notes for Hair - The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (1968 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: historically relevant with a relativistic review
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm giving this 5 stars assuming that if you pick this CD you were personally influenced heavily by the late 60s, the hippie subculture or a keen love of music from the period. Regardless of the actual quality of music, personal experience is a part of how much you enjoy something. Like annie was my first play, so I'll probably always enjoy it more than most plays. Hair is one of the few plays of that time period that's survived to be remembered.
For those not in one of the categories above, I'd reduce it to 3 stars. The main masterpiece and most memorable song off the album is easily "Aquarius". The runner ups would be "Hair" and "Easy to be Hard". If this were produced today, I guarantee that the 20 second intro to Aquarius would be removed. It rounds out a CD collection of plays or 60s stuff well. If going the mp3 route, make sure you get "Aquarius".

"America's First Tribal Love-Rock Musical," went the advertising, and nobody could argue with that. Hair opened on Broadway in 1968 and immediately became a smash, although no one could quite discern what it was about. Something like, "War is bad, drugs are good, racism bites the big one, and nudity is nice." Although all these sentiments are expressed on this album which, like the show, has not dated well, the quality of the music makes it forgiveable. The songs weren't really rock, but they accomplished what all good pop songs set out to do; stick in the craw. In fact, several of its tracks later became hits for pop acts, including "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" (The Fifth Dimension), "Hair" (The Cowsills), and "Good Morning Starshine" (Oliver). --Dawn Eden
