I’m not sure I’d call this recording an A / A-. It’s more of a low B or a C quality recording. I’ve gone thru several versions and they’re all way over on the vu meters and too much on the mix. At times it’s barely listenable.

Maybe not shit-kicking like some other “Headneck” music, but I think Hoyt Axton’s My Griffin is Gone deserves some props. The reissue has a demo version of “The Pusher” which is far-out-o-control.

I gotta propose Canned Heat

for this category.
“Going up the Country” and “On the Road Again” were definitely out of the psychedelic groove.

I might argue that it all started with Dylan’s 1968 “Nashville Skyline”.

In fact I would. Post-psychedelic took rock in a new direction (which also including Prog and Garage-punk) that also pulled in bands like CSNY.

Fantastic! Thank you, brother.

One error: it’s Mary — not Marty — Egan. She’s also known as Sweet Mary Egan and fiddled for Greezy Wheels (Austin headneckers), Jerry Jeff Walker & the Lost Gono Band, and Kinky Friedman & the Texas Jewboys. She’s one of nicest people on earth — hence her name “Sweet Mary”.
