The Poppy Family !

Finally on CD! The Poppy Family (1968-1973) featuring Terry and Susan Jacks. Terry being “Mr. Seasons in the Sun” (!) with his lovely sister could have been Canada’s answer to The Carpenters. Their music was all over the map--bubble gum, psychedelic, folk, cheesy & lullabye. At times The Poppy Family could almost pass for the Caucasian version of Os Mutantes! The vocals were mainly supplied by Susan with Terry composing the songs, which are pretty crafty and should have spawned at least a few more “one-hit-wonders”. They had a minor U.S. hit with “Which Way You Goin’ Billy” in the eary 1970’s. This CD contains 21 songs pulled from their two or three LP’s so all bases are probably covered as their discography goes. Obscure and somewhat adventurous
