Various Magic Bus (3-CD)

(Universal Music) 57 tracks, 3 CDs of Huge Hits from The Hippie Trail.

Released by Universal Music, Magic Bus is a massive 3CD collection of 58 tracks tracing the journeys of thousands of people along the "Hippie Trail" in the late 60s and early 70s.

A brightly painted bus still reminds us all of the open road and the setting sun. Magic Bus tells of the impact of the emerging counterculture on young people around the world that brought freedom, hedonism and spirituality.

Featuring tracks by The Byrds, The Who, Grateful Dead and many others, "Magic Bus" opens a window through which the aromatic atmosphere of a cherished era flows back to us.

Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull and many, many more accompany us on our journey. This music and this journey were a true experience for all who embarked on the "Hippie Trail". Sunlight breaking through a broken windshield and fragrant clouds of smoke. Sudden moments of transcendental clarity and concentration.

The hum of the engine and the barely justifiable belief that the road being followed would lead where the occupants of the Magic Bus really wanted to go. But that didn't matter. The journey is, after all, the destination, and this trip is [in every sense] about much more than sightseeing.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.
