Chilliwack is the first album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in June 1970. Chilliwack was a continuation of the psychedelic-progressive group The Collectors, except without lead singer Howie Vickers.
Chilliwack was remembered for their small package of soft-rock hits in the early 80's like "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" and "Whatcha Gonna Do", which makes it easy to forget their origins as The Collectors, a notable West Coast psychedelic group. They evolved into Chilliwack in 1969, but in this early stage, they much more resembled their acid-tinged beginnings. "Sundown" kicks things off with a distinctive up-tempo tribal feel and byzantine flute runs, followed by the sunshine folk of "Every Day", after which the album generally settles into a hazy comfort zone.
