Holy Modal Rounders

Last Round
Very Hard To Find 1978 Original With 8 Page Fold Out Lyrics And Interview Insert. “Unless, Like The Holy Modal Rounders, You've Spent A Lot Of Time Listening To Harry Smith's Anthology Of American Folk Music While Ingesting Recreational Drugs, Their Music Might Sound A Bit Odd To You. Actually, Given The Ramshackle Performances, It Sounds A Bit Odd In Any Case, But As With Any Humorously Intended Work, Appreciation Of It Depends On One's Sympathy With The Artists. For Initiates, This Seventh (And, So It Seemed At The Time Of Its Release, Final) Album Was One Of The Rounders' Better Ones, With Peter Stampfel, Chris Weber, And Especially Robin Remaily Turning Out Characteristic New Work And Covers Of Old Songs Like "Euphoria" And "If You Want To Be A Bird" Backed By A Rhythm Section. "August, 1967 (Hippies Call It STP)," Borrows Its Tune From "Fishin' Blues," While Head Rounders Peter Stampfel And Steve Weber Sing A Paean To Psychedelic Drug Use That Breaks Down Into Odd References Such As This Allusion To Amos & Andy: "'Splain Dat To Me, Kingfish, It Ain't Too Clear/King It To Me, 'Splainfsh, Said The Engineer."” – William Ruhlman, AMG
