Country Joe & The Fish - Who Am I

Psychedelic 60's

Year: 1967

Folk rock/psychedelic rock band formed in 1965 in Berkeley, California by Country Joe McDonald and Barry Melton ("The Fish"). 1967 marked an era of creative expression, political rebellion and experimentation, climaxing in The Summer of Love; and no other location on Earth was quite as synonymous with this period as San Francisco ̶ the center of the counterculture movement. Perhaps one of the best musical representations of this time, place and environment came from a rock band across the Bay, who married progressive protest with groundbreaking, experimental music: Country Joe & the Fish. In that one year, the Berkeley musicians rose to prominence, releasing two albums which would go on to influence some of the biggest psychedelic acts of the decade: their debut LP, Electric Music for the Mind and Body, and I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die. The band was disbanded after their final performance on June 21, 1970. They reformed in 1976 to play a couple of shows and record the "Reunion" album.
