Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from April 30, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Interesting they released this is 1966 as sort of a roots of grace slick album

↳ Song: "The Laird" by "Mountain"
Climbing doesn't feel like it should be a debut album... very put together

I guess it helps the bass player produced Disraeli Gears

It's the odd song on the album. The rest of it has the feeling of blood sweat and tears with the horns missing.

↳ Song: "Donovan's Reef" by "Country Joe & the Fish"
I've always thought people were too quick to dismiss this band because the two songs that made it into the Woodstock movie aren't showcasing their abilities

Barry Meltons guitar was so ahead of its time!!!...:)

Having grown up watching 'MontereyPop' on TV like once a year - I didn't have that problem. Also - CJ & the Fish's 1st album is indispensable.

Think this is the only song on the album with this vocalist. Only song that sounds like this for sure. Tight rhythm.

↳ Song: "Distortions of Darkness" by "The 31 Flavors"
That track listing is absolutely not the order on the album

Appreciate Blackmore for being upfront how much he got from Hendrix. A lot of people kinda try & deflect attention from that...

The guitar work on this has a fuzzier garage tone then you would expect.

This song kind of creeps me out. The xylophone and organ is eerie and the lyrics are surreal.
