MOTHER TUCKERS YELLOW DUCK - Home Grown Stuff, 1969 (CANADA, Vancouver, psych blues rock)(Capitol ST 6304)


Formed in Vancouver in 1968 , their first 45 has become their most sought-after item. Described on their second album as a "happy mixture of psychedelic rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock with an overall country flavour" their material is an enjoyable and diverse mixture of styles. The first album is the stronger of the two, being the less country-influenced and more psychedelic. Crammed with excellent guitar-work throughout and fine harmony vocal arrangements, the highlights include the uptempo "Times are Changing", the great country-rocker "One Glass for Wine", the dynamic lick-laden "One Ring Jane", the sublime melancholy of "Funny Feeling" and the climatic slow-burning finale of "Somebody Think", which can also be appreciated on Echoes in Time, Vol. 1. Recommended - an album to savour. The group was slated for inclusion on the Cool-Aid Benefit album but either Capitol or their management put the nix on it ! This album was re-issued on CD in 2000.
