Some great smokey psychedelic tinged folk back in the day.
"One Toke Over The Line" qualifies, if only for the title...always
had me wondering how it got airplay; but it was released in a more
tolerant era....just because of the title it would not have made it a
few years earlier...
like Eight Miles High!
This one qualifies as folk rock blues psych..not sure but I like it....of course much folk is rooted in folk blues.

"Susan Jane" by Sarofeen & Smoke. Anyone know this great vocalist & band??
Pretty rare stuff!
So share some folk while you toke...that has that smokey aura we love.

well....that Brewer & Shipley record fit right in with the mood of the music nation, with it's "Midnight Special" TV show, the strange flow of drug referrence in song despite the harsh laws. The Doobie Brothers"! Midnite on the oasis...Mescalito is your friend....maybe the enemy was just lame to the drug words.....
by the way...that FINE Brewer & Shipley album, " Tarkio Road", 1970, (which I am the proud owner of in it's near -mint gatefold lp condition, has Jerry Garcia ON pedal steel, and Nick Gravenites singing!
...what the world needs now... |

Does that have "Witchi-Tai-To"? a really fine tune...
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkVjd1fJMME>
They were seriously underrated as a one-hit-wonder!
I see it is on their "Weeds" album (thanks again for that Rick)
..listen to the sounds....
(Amazon has both LPs on one CD for $10!)

no "Witchy yi-too" on that. I keep getting them mixed up with Seals and Crofts ('Summer Breeze')! "summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
........."
So pretty. But that's probably dope talk for, "i'm nodding out gooood, man....that's good s**t...."

that's right markk!" proud mary" takes the cake! at least i think it does. that image of rolling a joint on a steamboat is fun! maybe Fogerty can release the song's proceeds to the victims of the Gulf Coast Oil disaster, in partnership with the Legalize Cannabis movement. as Comic, Judy Tunita (sorry i spelt it wrong cause i dont care) sais..."it could happen...,)!

The Weeds album by Brewer & Shipley was cutting edge country rock and
was released arounfd the same time as Sweetheart of the Rodeo. For me
it is much more accessible than Sweetheart, though I love Sweetheart now.
They even recruited Red Rhodes for an overall album sound. So pedal fans check this out if you haven't....not a lot of upfront pedal steel but it is there giving it life.

Have to agree on that, though Sweetheart was never really one of my favourite Byrds albums anyway. And they also had Bloomfield, Hopkins and Seatrain's Richard Greene on Weeds too - they must have had some fun at those recording sessions. |

The strange thing is that Notorious had been a big hit here in the UK and is rightly considered to be The Byrds' crowning achievement - but Sweetheart did not even make the charts at all. There is no denying though, that Sweetheart of the Rodeo was a hugely courageous musical venture that helped to breach hitherto impenetrable musical barriers. As such, it lays claim to an important place in history - just like Fairport Convention's Liege and Lief from a year or so later.  |

Agreed and what I found really ironic about the album was that it was really a "conservative" musical move that influenced all the revolutionary stuff we got after it by various bands of whom we know very well. I don't know. Maybe if no "Hickory Wind" or "Blue Canadian Rockies" maybe no "Sin City"?????
And as far as 'Notorious" I'm wnodering if there's any other record that links a "countrified" sound so well with rock. Beautiful songs like "Goin Back and "I Wasn't Born to Follow" are just hard to beat!
If any bring them on... |

Right...Brewer & Shipley put a little controversy in their songs
as many of the day did. On their Weeds album it was was about
patriots and the bad things going on, the war, the freaks, the
environment.... Back then they were in the mainstream. Nowadays they
want milk-toast and lily white for the music machines.
That is not to say that the protest songs and the music that
questions is not out there...
being made today, those songs that question the status quo, you just aren't going to hear
it on the mainstream radio....except by RW maybe! But RW was never
in that "mainstream"...keep on playing the Spirit of Love, Rick.
Time for a little "Notorious"....you all got me "going back"!! Hillman's coming out album!

Going in another direction, but still Folk and Toke, a little jug
band tune from Jim Kweskin, "If Your A Viper".
A sort of obscure song from an obscure group.
"Now you know your body is spent
You don't give a darn if you don't pay rent
Light that tea , let it be
If your a viper." |

All of Tim Buckley's "Goodbye & Hello" LP is pretty psychedelic folk rock.
Phantasmagoria In Two, Hallucinations, Goodbye and Hello....
Just when Tim had settled in to a new fan base, he would say, "The hell with that", and move on to another....leaving a bunch of bewildered ex-fans in his wake.
Not me...love the guy.

yeah, LK....I played Buckley's 3rd, self-titled album yesterday, and was thinking about how the music sounds like Country Joe and the Fish's more ethereal spacy stuff at times, and a little like Tiny Tim, too, sometimes. Buckley was a special one.
