PSYCHEDELIC COUNTRY
VA - Psychedelic Country (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2 REPOST
Psychedelic Rock found its way into the country genre or was that the other way around. Some artists were more country than Psychedelic and some artists were more psychedelic than country. Some got it just right and that sound continues through to current bands. The sound is unmistakable when it is done with just enough who use swirling alt-country psychedelia.
Some of my favorite tracks of this genre are from the late sixties and early seventies and includes tracks by Quicksilver Messenger Service, Neil Young, Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Grateful Dead and Country Joe & The Fish. These artists produced some of the finest country-tinged psychedelic-pop/rock records available. Country songs with fuzzed out guitar and spacey pedal-steal noodling. There are a number of new/modern bands that carry on the tradition of Psychedelic Country sounds with the use of 60s flavoured with west coast rock, pastoral sounds, jangly, alt-country with a psychedelic flavor. Sadie's and the Futurebirds are the two best modern bands in this genre at present.
Here are 60 tracks that highlight that country-tinged Psychedelia.

ReplyDeleteHi doors97426.
DeleteI hope you like this old post that been renewed.
Cheers.
My first thought was Neil Young, "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere", second was The New Riders "Panama Red" - There's plenty around for a volume 2!
ReplyDeleteSure is, Tombie.
DeleteI hope this suffices until Volume 2 arrives.
Cheers.
A fine compilation, thanks, but the one name that was glaringly missing for me was Mike Nesmith.
DeleteThanks, Rayge.
DeleteWho knows what the next volume will hold.
Cheers.
