  1. THE RAINY DAZE - In My Mind Lives A Forest
    ALBUM That Acapulco Gold (1967)

    Psychedelic pop group the Rainy Daze formed in Denver, Colorado, in 1965. They were composed of singer/guitarist Tim Gilbert with his brother Kip on drums, lead guitarist Mac Ferris, bassist Sam Fuller, and keyboardist Bob Heckendorf.

    The group started as a covers act, nevertheless parlaying a string of frat party gigs into a local television appearance that reportedly caught the attention of famed producer Phil Spector, who extended a management contract.

    The group released an album, That Acapulco Gold, and the title song (written by Tim Gilbert and his roommate, John Carter) made it to #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967 but was pulled once it was realized it was a pro-marijuana song .
