Woman At 23 Hour - Love-In

background: a folk music buddy posted something random about Kim Carnes. I recalled that Kim Carnes was briefly in corny pop-folk big band New Christy Minstrels. Looked it up. Saw that her tenure in the band was concurrent with one Kiyoko Ito, whom I'd never heard of so looked up. Turns out this record is collectible and highly regarded with words like 'psych-folk masterpiece' being thrown around.

Listening now. Not picking up the psych-folk masterpiece aspect but there's a little weirdness, a little enka-kusai vibe, a little generic pop, a little bossa even. Song I'm on now sounds like it could have been an early theme song for Doraemon or something.
