hello everyone.

Ode to a Tin Angel by Hearts and Flowers.

one of the greatest psyche songs off all time, from 1968.
other than this, the band's output was pretty much folk/country/pop.
they did just the two albums, but produced by Nik Venet, and fetured Larry Murray, who was in the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers with Chris Hillman before the byrds, and Bernie Leadon before he was in the burritos/eagles.
great band, but this one song is like nothing else they did.


what else is there by bands that might not automatically be linked to the whole psychedelic stuff?

Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In - Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.

A stone country-psych-soul groove.

I have no idea about that film.

Kenny Rogers was the biggest-selling country artist of the late 70's-early 80's.

The Wailers: Rainbow Country
                     Soul Rebel

I think that 's a little psychedelic, a lot of Lee Perrys productions also sound pretty psychedelic.

Tony Williams Lifetime: Once I Loved

Miles Davis: In A Silent Way

CCR: Looking Out My Backdoor (at least the lyrics)

This thread brings to mind for me all those late 60s Everly Brothers songs which start with awesome late 60s electric guitar type stuff, and you listen to them thinking, "Wow, this song sounds awesome! I can't wait 'til they get to the lyrics!" and then the guitar solo drops out and it goes right back into their mellow harmonies and lyrics like "Last night I cried myself to sleep.."; such a fake out!

Nice response Ian!  :D
Gordon Lightfoot's - The Way I Feel (version 2). Definite psych from a terribly un-hip Canadian. I love him, tho!

They turned majorly psych for the PACJ, Birds Bees and Head albums.

Exactly. But Headquarters must have shocked some people when it first came out, considering what had come before. Those later albums are most indeed psychedelic masterworks, and among the finest the psychedelic era had to offer.

I dig. The organ break in Early Morning Blues And Greens has to be the wildest moment in the record, in that regard.

My mother's favorite actor.
I love his early work, like Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, Bad Company, Hard Driver etc.
I hate the Coen Brothers. Their movies literally make me sick. Their hateful and snide vision of humanity is for the foda birds. I'll take less-crafted and flawed films that actually like their chracters, like the films of Allison Anders and Paul THomas Anderson, any day.

For being Frank's daughter, Nancy Sinatra got a little "out there", especially with some of her collaborations with Lee Hazlewood ("Some Velvet Morning") and with her cover of Sonny Bono's "Bang Bang".

Ian, if you haven't seen 'The Big Lebowski' (and that's the third spelling in three posts) you are missing a treat. It's great - and does contain some ace music as well - Dylan's 'Then Man In Me' is also featured prominently.

Honestly, you'll love it!

Ian, I love you.  I fucking hate the Coen Brothers.  Fargo was so pointless...an exercise in copying Twin Peaks without retaining anything interesting or cool.

I actually do like The Big Lebowski, but being in college I've avoided it the past few years.

Thanks, brother.
I thought you'd agree. Funny how people peg Lynch as such a cold, distant, weirdo dude when he's the most traditionalist-in-a-good-way director we have.
Fargo served no other purpose but laughter at the haw-haw stupidity of the characters.  Northern Exposure was even better.
The Straight Story wasn't ironic in the slightest. When he shows people going to Heaven, HE MEANS IT! I love that. Straightness does not have to mean boredom, it can provide a most disturbing slant on the mundane when combined with a brilliant mind (see also Byrne, Devo).
If you dug Lebowski, I'll check it out (besides, Julianne Moore is my crackpot honey-doll).

I always liked how the version of St Matthew on Instant Replay CD was psychedelic country.

Edge of Reality -- Elvis (sort of -- closest he ever got).

She's a Rainbow -- maybe my favorite Stones track, certainly up there for me.
