Yet another folk-psych album. A couple of songs were not that bad, but as a whole it is far from being memorable. I feel like we already ran into a couple of those albums in the list, and I don't really see the point of multiplying this kind of entries.
This an album of its time, and the time is firmly in the Summer of Love in San Francisco. Whilst the Beatles made a token effort to hide their drug references, Country Joe & the Fish are openly passing round the reefers and whispering LSD over the outro. They’re not shy about sex either and the politics are far to the left. The highlight is the cheeky Superbird where he calls on the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange to take out LBJ. Hippytastic!
Doors-y and fun for the first half, but dragged on a bit in the back half for me.
