Mental health is so important – particularly in times like these. When we are in isolation and there is a fear around it is important to keep the spirits up.
Music does that. You can listen and lose yourself in it. You can bop about, sing and dance. It makes you smile and gives your brain a buzz.
Cream did that for me yesterday. Fabulous.
Today I have selected Country Joe and the Fish.
I remember when they first started up. That first album – Electric Music for the body and mind – was just so different. It was a revelation. Then Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die was incredible.
I loved Joe’s voice and some of those songs. Well.
A great love song:
The best antiwar song ever:
A great introspective song:
So I will be playing my Country Joe and the Fish albums and grooving!
Have a great day in isolation everybody! It could be a lot worse!
Keep safe!
Another winner!
Glad you like them as well!
Yes!
Their first album is SO great. And I think it has been forgotten for the most part.
And one of the first albums from that West Coast Acid Rock scene. They were one of my favourites. The second album was brilliant two. The third was good and it was downhill from there. But I agree – that first album was a landmark.
