- FLOWER POWER - 'Mississippi Delta' / 'Bye Bye Baby' (Tune-Kel 611) 1968
The Flower Power were a psychedelic rock group from Gulport, Mississippi. Quite how they ended up on New Orleans based label Tune-Kel is unknown. This record label were better known for releasing soul and R'n'B. Perhaps they wanted a slice of the emerging psychedelic action.
This release was The Flower Power's second 45 on Tune-Kel and is a P. Saint-John composed groover made popular by Bobby Gentry. 'Mississippi Delta' is a fuzzy blast with a strong lead vocal from Sandi Craig all wrapped up with throbbing bass lines and swirling hammond organ. It's surprisingly never been compiled before!
The flip 'Bye Bye Baby', another P. Saint John composition is flower pop.

That was Sandy Craig singing and my husband Joe Rolison on bass guitar who recently died on 9/25/22. He was known as the Bass Master by his fellow musicians.
Joe Rolison on bass just recently passed away. God speed my brother
Thank you very much for saving these gems from oblivion. They are testimonies of artistic greatness.
The drummer challenges the concept that less is more!
This song was written by Bobbie Gentry. Funny that she is not credited on the single and a John P. Saint is!
Mississippi Delta was written and composed by Bobbie Gentry. You should probably put that in the description.
