Our Take

The Holy Modal Rounders have always been a band that defies categorization, and their live album from 1965 is no exception. Recorded before many of us were even a glint in our parents' eyes, this album captures the raw energy and quirky charm of this eccentric duo.

Kicking off with their psychedelic folk classic "If You Want to Be a Bird," the Rounders waste no time in luring us into their strange and wonderful world. With their wild, improvised vocals and unconventional instrumentation, they take us on a journey through folk, blues, and avant-garde music, all while maintaining a sense of humour that is as infectious as it is bizarre.

Tracks like "Gonna Get Me a Woman" and "Hesitation Blues" showcase the Rounders' ability to blend traditional folk music with contemporary psychedelic influences, creating a sound that is both timeless and utterly unique. And their cover of the traditional ballad "Horse Named Bill" is a rollicking romp that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time.

If you're looking for an album that will challenge your expectations and take you on a musical adventure like no other, then look no further than the Holy Modal Rounders' Live in 65. It's a trip worth taking, even if it's just to experience the delightful madness of these musical misfits.

Their cult following adores them for their irreverent humour, boundary-pushing creativity, and infectious energy. But make no mistake, behind the jests and jesters lies a deep well of musical talent and innovation. Holy Modal Rounders' influence can be heard in a wide range of artists, from The Grateful Dead to Violent Femmes to The Flaming Lips.

With their unconventional approach to music-making and their refusal to play by the rules, they continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.
