Country Joe & The Fish
Posted by: Kevin-W on 13 June 2004
My mate Darren dragged me along to the Country Joe & The Fish gig last night at The Borderline. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but I did.
A lot of the material was very political (Bush, Iraq, Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, etc) but delivered with a big dollop of sly humour so it never became preachy. His band (all original Fish with only Barry Melton missing) was as tight as the proverbial gnat's chuff and tthe man himself was in fine voice. And yes, he did his most famous song - but as a Dixieland number with CJ on trombone!
Anyway, can anyone suggest a good album? I've been told that Electric Music For The Mind & Body is a good place to start. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I remember a couple decent early J Sebastian albums back in my vinyl days.
And the wide striped t-shirts .... wore those with corderouy knickers, at times, in my high school days. Believe it was the year I was awarded "best-dressed boy" at my school
Fond memories.
