Sad About the Times
Sad About the Times is a compilation album made up of 15 obscure songs from the 1970s that "could have been hits", curated by Mikey Young and Keith Abrahamsson. It was published by Anthology Recordings, a reissue imprint of Mexican Summer, as a companion to Follow the Sun – a collection of 70s FM through a distinctly Australian lens assembled by the same duo.
Sad About the Times is an "exploration of 1970s [folk punk|70s FM folk], soft rock, west coast jangle, power pop and late night jams" by North American artists.
On October 29, 2019, Anthology reissued three 1970s albums from artists featured on the album: Art Lown's Piper [Oz the Hound], Boz Metzdorf's Signs of Seasons, and David Chalmers' Primeval Road.
