Gary McFarland, Peter Smith - Butterscotch Rum (1971) [Hi-Res]

A wonderfully strange and vocal-centric departure for Gary McFarland, this album blends quirky pop songwriting with intricate yet relaxed arrangements. Featuring vocals by Peter Smith and McFarland himself, it channels a groovy, idiosyncratic charm reminiscent of 60s-era Nilsson or Spanky & Our Gang. With tracks like “Poor Daniel” and “Rain On The Ocean,” it's a brilliant example of McFarland’s subtle genius as an arranger and composer, offering a whimsical and sophisticated take on pop.
