The Seeds were one of the biggest rock bands in Los Angeles in the mid-'60s; walking a musical path that melded the burgeoning "flower power" scene with the grungy kicks of primitive teenage garage rock, the Seeds were wilder and dirtier-sounding than most of their peers, and lead singer Sky Saxon had a stoned-out charisma that was a far cry from the well-scrubbed teen idols that dominated the charts earlier in the decade. The group broke up in 1970, and Saxon moved to Hawaii to follow spiritual pursuits after an abortive solo career, but in the 1980s he returned to L.A. -- changing his name to Sky "Sunlight" Saxon -- and began recording and performing again with a variety of musicians as well as a new lineup of Seeds. The Seeds and Sky Sunlight Saxon: Jumping Through the Mirrors is a collection of performances by Saxon and the Seeds encompassing their glory days in the '60s as well as Saxon's more recent work. Including performances from the shows American Bandstand, Where the Action Is, and Shebang as well as the Seeds' fabled appearances on the sitcom The Mothers-in-Law and the movie Psych-Out, Jumping Through the Mirrors includes the songs "Pushin' Too Hard," "Mr. Farmer," "Can't Seem to Make You Mine," "Painted Doll," and more.
