About this album

Lovin' Things shows The Grass Roots sharpening their blend of pop-rock polish, folk-rock ease and soulful drive at the end of the 1960s. Issued in 1969, the album centres on the title track and The River Is Wide, songs that highlight the group’s gift for tight harmonies, melodic hooks and radio-friendly arrangements. Drawing on psychedelic and soul touches without losing their mainstream appeal, the record reflects the band’s place in the era’s crossover pop scene. It is a strong example of the Los Angeles group’s run of commercially minded, craft-driven albums, with the kind of concise songwriting that kept them a familiar AM-era presence.
