Review

There're all kinds of outlandish behavior in music, a good deal of which mellows over the years into merely peculiar or boorish art. Really weird, however, is enduring and The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders is really weird. The sole major-label recording by remnants of acid folkies the Holy Modal Rounders (essentially Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber) and Stampfel's spinoff "rock band" the Moray Eels (which included playwright Sam Shepard), here is an unholy noise that mates the urban-hippie aesthetic of 1968 with a deep-seated love of deep folk music. Jug music for the psychotic segment of the psychedelic set, this 13-song collection is outlandish even by the Rounders' by-now well-established standards. Opening with the nearest thing to a hit the band ever produced--"Bird Song" (familiar to fans of the '60s flick Easy Rider)--the collection tumbles forward like a bad trip across a tremulous American landscape. Think of it as an East Coast cousin of the Mothers of Invention's contemporaneous We're Only in It for the Money. The 2002 reissue boasts entertaining liner notes from Stampfel and Richie Unterberger that will clear up a little of the chaos heard on the disc. But only a little. --Steven Stolder Led by maverick folksters Peter Stampfel & Steve Weber, the Holy Modal Rounders fused Greenwich Village strum & Appalachian drone with enough mind-altering chemicals to derail the Wabash Cannonball. This 1968 masterpiece spotlights such drug-addled ramblings as 'Bird Song', featured in the Easy Rider soundtrack. Remastered & available on CD for the first time. Water Records. 2002. 1968 Elektra Album Available on CD for the First Time. Includes the Track 'bird Song' that was Used in the Soundtrack to 'easy Rider'.
