I have been a huge fan of Country Joe and the Fish ever since I was introduced to their first album way back in 1967!
A great band live too!
Electric Music For The Mind and Body was an essential seminal album. They vied with Captain Beefheart as my favourite West Coast band – revolutionary, political and extraordinary. Loved them.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with them all (apart from Barry) at a gig in Leeds. We talked about old times. Joe was on form.
I got to see Bruce and Barry do solo gigs in Hull and had a long talk with both.
Joe was a favourite, loved his voice and solo work – his spirit was in the right place.

An era is slowly shunting into history but won’t be forgotten. Goodbye Joe!
Sounds like an awesome band, RIP Joe.
They were!
