About this album
Cool Livin' is a striking 1967 folk-rock statement from John Ylvisaker, blending psychedelic colour with direct songwriting and a distinctly spiritual perspective. Issued during the genre’s most exploratory period, the album sits at the crossroads of countercultural rock, folk commentary and devotional reflection, giving its songs a rare combination of urgency and sincerity. Ylvisaker’s writing moves between social observation and inward searching, with titles such as “Who Cares For The City?” and “Song Of Mary” hinting at the record’s wide emotional range. As a period piece, it captures the moment when folk-rock could still feel adventurous, questioning and personal.
