VINYL RELICS//From Baroque Pop to Psychedelia: Blossom Toes’ If Only For a Moment

EPYSODE 53: "If Only For A Moment" by Blossom Toes.

Guest: Blossom Toes guitarist Jim Cregan.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

This week we dive deep into "If Only For a Moment " (1969), the cult-favorite psychedelic rock masterpiece from Blossom Toes. Joining us is guitarist Jim Cregan, who shares rare, behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the album, the band’s evolution from baroque pop to heavier rock, and how the record fits into the late-60s psychedelic movement. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering Blossom Toes for the first time, this conversation brings new life to one of the era’s most overlooked albums.

I hope you dig "If Only For A Moment" as much as I do.
