Reviews
Edited 9 years agoThe Blues Magoos were basically one-hit wonders with 'We Ain't Got Nothing Yet', a truly underrated and underplayed psychedelic rock masterpiece. This single, containing the unedited 'Tobacco Road' (from their first album 'Psychedelic Lollipop') did not score in the charts, possibly because the four and a half minute song was considered too long for radio play in 1966. The Nashville Teens scored a minor hit with this John D. Loudermilk song in 1964, and the Blues Magoos offer up this psychedelic version. To my ear, it's as classic as Blue Cheer's take on Eddie Cochran's 'Summertime Blues'.
"Sometimes I Think About" was penned by the group and is full of lovely rock angst. The lyric 'sittin' here on this cotton farm' is shouted out to mishear it as 'sittin' here on this goddamn farm'. If this was intentional, it's brilliant.
