Product Description
The last studio album from the Fish--or, more accurately, Country Joe McDonald, Fish guitarist Barry Melton, and accompanying session men--C.J. FISH is a somewhat schizophrenic effort. Several would-be pop songs ("Sing Sing Sing", "Mara") are polished up by producer Tom Wilson, who'd performed a similar service for the Animals and the Blues Project, with nary a political number in the bunch.
The Fish sense of humor is still, fortunately, still intact, as witness the shamelessly silly lyrics in "Rockin' Around the World". The album finds its footing toward the end, where the songs ("Silver and Gold", and "The Return of Sweet Lorraine") are in the band's trademark full-bore psychedelic style, complete with period cheesy organ, the occasional drum solo, and stinging fretwork from Melton.
