| has gloss | eng: Sweet Cherry Wine is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells from their 1969 album Cellophane Symphony. The song hit number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit number six on the Canadian charts. This "trippy" song was released at the height of psychedelia and right after one previous trippy song by Tommy James and the Shondells, Crimson and Clover and before Crystal Blue Persuasion. It actually expresses Tommy James' Christian beliefs, particularly that "sweet cherry wine" is indeed the Blood of Christ. The song begins with the use of an organ, adds brass instruments, and ends with a solo flute that fades out at the end of the song. Adding to the psychedelia of this and other songs on the album was the then-new Moog synthesizer. |
