Joy Ride on Memory Lane is a really cool pastoral/acid-folk/electric acoustic album. The melody-rich songs of this breezily psychedelic album sound like a 21st-century version of Donovan or early Pink Floyd, with a touch of Moody Blues, Brinsley Schwarz, CSNY, and Espers. They feel completely at home in their psych-tinged world.
