Grass and Wild Strawberries, released in 1968, is an album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack when they were known as "The Collectors" . The songs were written as part of prominent Canadian playwright George Ryga's stage play "Grass and Wild Strawberries". The distinctly literary lyrics were written by Ryga. The song "Seventeenth Summer" was later re-recorded by Chilliwack and an extended jam based on it became a feature of their live performance. The fast-paced "Early Morning" was released as a single but did not become a major hit, reaching #84 on the RPM Magazine chart on July 12, 1969.
