79. Country Joe & The Fish - Electric Music For The Mind and Body

Release Date: 1967
Label: Vanguard

Electric Music for the Mind and Body is another album from a band that were entirely unfamiliar to me until I listened to this. I vaguely think the name is one of those 'San Francisco' names that inspired Paul McCartney to come up with Sgt. Pepper. As for the album itself, it was good enough without being too spectacular.

Rating: 6/10
Favourite Track:

24. Joan Baez- Joan Baez

Release Date: 1960
Label: Vanguard

Taking us softly into the 1960s is the charming self-titled debut from Joan Baez. I must admit, I came to this with skepticism, and although it dragged a little towards the end, it was by no means the terrible record I was expecting. She can certainly sings, and although the songs are generally what you'd expect from a folk album, there are no space-fillers. Surprisingly it ends with a song sung entirely in Spanish, I've no idea what the song is about though.

Overall: 7/10
