Downstream with Country Joe
Review by
TIM SINDELAR
Country Joe and the Fish
were for a time one of the
most innovative and talented
of the first; crop of
"underground" groups.
Country Joe broke away
with an album of his own
devoted to Woodie Guthrie
songs. He demonstrated that he
could aptly handle folk
material. His second album was
in the same vein. In this third
album, Country Joe has turned
to material of the current
James Taylor style.
While it does lay down some
good music on the way, Hold
On It's Coming has some flaws
that keep it from getting
totally off the ground.
The most irritating thing
the University Singers and
University Orchestra in
Poulenc's Gloria.
Shaw gained international
fame as the director of the
Robert Shaw Choral. He is
currently conductor of the
Atlanta, Ga., Symphony
Orchestra.
Chancellor D. B. Varner will

about this album is the lyrics.
In two songs, "Air Algiers" and
"Playing With Fire," Country
Joe appears to be playing with
"relevancy" and missing the
point, v
"Air Algiers" is little more
than the exploitation of a
headline, the story of Eldridge
Cleaver's exile, yet pointless.
"Playing With Fire" deals with
bombers, acid-heads and
dealers. The message is don't
be one. Thanks for the helpful
advice, Joe.
And in "Traveling," the
beauty of the music is marred
by June-moon type rhymes.
But the music is generally nice,
especially that on "Traveling."
"Joe's Blues" is a good
Performing Arts in Nebraska."
NU President Joseph Soshnik
will preside.

tune, but Country Joe's use of
a falsetto voice on it seems to
emphasize the trouble a white
man has in singing the blues.
There is also a lack of
enthusiasm and feeling here,
that seems to dominate most
of the album.
The album only begins
to catch fire with "Hold On
It's Coming", yet even the
enthusiasm and good music
here don't justify its use at
both the beginning and the end
of the album.
If you are a Country Joe
freak, you'll find enough here
to really like this album. But
otherwise, there isn't a lot here
to make it particularly
distinguishable from the flock
of soft-rock albums folding
the scene today.
