Song of Innocence is a 1968 album by David Axelrod. The album was inspired by Songs of Innocence, a collection of poems by English poet William Blake. The All Music Guide review describes the album as a "suite that blended pop, rock, jazz, theater music, and R&B" and has "withstood the test of time". [1]

A subsequent companion album, in 1969, "Songs of Experience" ("songs" as a plural noun) was released. Sometime after that in the 1970s, the "Song of Innocence" album was re-released as "Songs of Innocence". [2]

So there are apparently two titles for the first album.

Nevertheless, the original 1968 album was entitled "Song of Innocence".
