Country Joe and the Fish Electric Music for the Mind and Body Vanguard [Listen]

At first, Country Joe and the Fish were indie rockers. Three tracks on this trip-music classic, including the stoner's hymn "Bass Strings" and the drifting instrumental "Section 43," were initially cut by the Berkeley band for a 1966 EP on singer-songwriter Joe McDonald's agitprop label, Rag Baby. He started the Fish as a protest jug band (the name combines nods to Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung) but here temporarily kept his left-wing zest in check. Flanked by the electric organ of David Cohen and Barry Melton's biting-treble guitar, McDonald spread with a preacher's zeal and spearing wit the local gospel of chemical travel and carnal freedom in "Flying High," "Happiness Is a Porpoise Mouth" and "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine." In fact, Vanguard insisted the Fish not include one of their most popular tunes, a McDonald zinger that later became a singalong pillar of the anti-war movement: "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag."

Review:

Country Joe and the Fish, hereinafter referred to as CJ&TF, is another group which, between first and second records, has gone through a number of changes. The first thing that strikes you is the record cover, far more professional and, thank God, tasteful in execution than the first one. Similarly the production of the music and the songs are also done with more experience and taste.

Their first...

Review:

Joe and Barry have gone out and recruited three new Fish for the latest album but they could have used anonymous sidemen and nobody would have known the difference. It's not that they're bad; just that they sound like they're bored stiff by the entire thing. The dull thumping of the piano and drums in "Rockin' Round the World" is the best example of this but the same sluggishness pervades almost...
