Our Take

In the hazy, psychedelic swirl of 1960s counterculture, Country Joe & The Fish emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Their album "I Feel Like I'm Fixin To Die" is a rollicking, rebellious romp through the highs and lows of the era, filled with incendiary lyrics and boundary-pushing instrumentation.

From the opening track, "The Fish Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag," the band's irreverent spirit shines through, blending folk, blues, and rock with a healthy dose of social commentary. Lead singer Country Joe McDonald's charismatic vocals are both impassioned and playful, urging listeners to question the status quo while tapping their feet to the infectious groove.

Tracks like "Janis" and "Thought Dream" showcase the band's musical prowess, with intricate guitar work and hypnotic rhythms weaving a spellbinding tapestry. The album's closer, "Eastern Jam," takes listeners on a journey through Eastern influences, showcasing the band's willingness to experiment and push boundaries.

"I Feel Like I'm Fixin To Die" may have been released over 50 years ago, but its rebellious spirit and musical innovation still resonate today. Country Joe & The Fish may not be a household name for some, but their impact on the music world cannot be denied. So go ahead, take a trip back in time and immerse yourself in the wild, wonderful world of Country Joe & The Fish. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Country Joe and The Fish

Country Joe & The Fish are a band that epitomize the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Hailing from Berkeley, California, this eclectic group of musicians was led by the eccentric Country Joe McDonald, whose distinctive voice and politically charged lyrics became synonymous with the era. Formed in 1965, Country Joe & The Fish quickly gained a reputation for their wild live performances and psychedelic sound. Their music combined elements of folk, blues, and rock, creating a unique sound that resonated with audiences across the country. The band's most famous moment came in 1969 at the Woodstock Music Festival, where they delivered a now-iconic performance of their anti-war anthem "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag." The song, with its provocative lyrics and rebellious spirit, captured the zeitgeist of the era and solidified Country Joe & The Fish as musical legends. Despite their success, the band faced internal conflicts and lineup changes throughout their career, eventually disbanding in the early 1970s. However, their influence lived on, with their music continuing to inspire generations of artists. Today, Country Joe & The Fish are remembered as pioneers of the psychedelic rock movement, pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms with their music. Their eclectic sound and fearless attitude towards social issues have secured their place in music history, proving that sometimes, it takes a little bit of fishiness to make a splash in the music industry.
