Strange little psych oddities are one of the reasons i go record crate digging whenever possible. A recent one turned up the 1967 album "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago" by Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band. The group mixed psych rock, folk, and even elements of bluegrass into their sound for a goofy and clunky, yet highly enjoyable mix. Take a listen to the title track below.
I think one of my favorite things about this record is how prominently the kazoo plays into some of the music. The production is really interesting as well, with what gets brought the foreground, and what gets buried in the mix. Listen to "Summer Love Song."
And here's one more called "Modern Day Fish."
Until next time.
"I think one of my favorite things about this record is how prominently the kazoo plays into some of the music." - how could this possibly be bad with a sentence like that in your review?
