Joyful Noise were an early hippie rock crew with a melodious double guitars & keyboard line up, not unlike others from the "Bosstown Sound" sector which was a spin off of the West Coast rock scene of the era...
Their self-titled 1968 album was recorded in RCA's New York Studio. Featuring all original material (largely penned by the group), a couple of tracks like 'People Get Together', 'Animals, Flowers and Children' and 'Mirrors' had a light Beatlesque psych flavor, but for the most part the album was better described as being rock oriented. While their psych moves are successful (check out "Onyx Green Glass"), those numbers are stronger than their pop/rock moves. Highlights include the tougher sound like 'Yes She Did' and the catchy 'What Me Worry?' showing that the band certainly had the talent to do well ..
