COUNTRY JOE & THE FISH
DAVID COHEN, JOE McDONALD, BARRY MELTON, CHICKEN HIRSH, BRUCE BARTHOL
One of the original and most popular of the San Francisco Bay Area psychedelic bands,
they were also probably the most enigmatic, in terms of who they actually were,
and had the longest and strangest gestation into becoming a rock band.
And Joe McDonald may have written the most in-your-face antiwar, anti-military song
to come out of the 1960s, but he was also one of the very few musicians
on the San Francisco scene who'd served in uniform

Country Joe & the Fish's second album, "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die", is quite similar to their first in its
organ-heavy psychedelia with Eastern-influenced melodic lines, but markedly inferior to the debut,
and much more of a period piece. There's more spaciness and less comic energy here, and
while the bandmembers were undoubtedly serious in their explorations, some of these songs are
simply silly in their cosmic naïveté. For all that, the best songs are good; "Who Am I" and "Thursday"
are touching psychedelic ballads. But more notably, the title cut -- whose brash energy is atypical of the album --
was a classic antiwar satire that became one of the decade's most famous protest songs,
and the group's most famous track...(AllMusic)
