Arranged by Mike Theodore and prolific guitarist Dennis Coffey (member of Motown's in-house session band The Funk Brothers and als involved in Rodriguez's LP 'Cold Fact'), 1968's 'The Forest Of My Mind' is a solid dose of soul-soothing mellow tunes, rich with captivating pastoral odes. The album is a unique synthesis of pop, folk and psychedelic sounds, flecked with a touch of Donovan-esque whimsy, all steered into righteous and refined waters by future Motown staff producer Clay McMurray (Gladys Knight & The Pips, David Ruffin, The Temptations, The Four Tops) and aided by the wizened influence of the Motor City's R&B/soul session-men of the era.
