Unique
You could take acid to this. What this is basically is unselfconcious psychedlia mixed with Bluegrass (which is just as noisy as that sounds), with a little touch of more standard "folk" stylings. You could square dance to it. You could play it to your buddies and laugh because it's pretty damn funny. You could probably turn Bluegrass fans onto it (although a modern country fan would not be an easy convert!). It's a novelty, sure, but it's also pretty damn good music. fans of the Byrds, or of the Fugs would appreciate this, I bet. .


Psychedelic Folk Classic
Out of an era where musical boundaries were being pushed to the limits, this band led the way into new frontiers and remains one of the classics of psychedlia. This album is a breath of fresh air for the ears. I didn't know what to make of the music at first listen, but it gets better and better each time I hear it. In the midst of all the craziness are some of the most beautiful although slightly twisted tunes like Radar Blues and Sky Divers. I wouldn't trade this album for all of the top 100 cds currently out. Their next album, The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders is even better. Do yourself a favor and pick up both of these cds and hear what music was like before it became a product of big business and money replaced love of music as the motivation for releasing albums.

terrible third album from rounders
he's being generous. in the cd booklet peter stampfel rates this a 3 on a scale of 10. he also blames it on weber. whatever. this is by far their worst album and a total waste of money. 32 mins. long.
