mad river were an unjustly obscure bay area late 60's band -actually the group originated in yellow springs, ohio. the group played a wide variety of music- psychedelic rock, country, jazz, bluegrass,folk,and quite a few more. somebody once said, and correctly, that they were weird even for the time. mad river's first album is pretty demented, it was apparently recorded at the wrong speed. consequently, some of this may remind one of captain beefheart or frank zappa in places. the bizarre lyrics, crazy vocals, and insane guitars of tracks like the war goes on, and amphetamine gazelle will probably astonish and delight listeners at the same time. mad river featured two strong vocalists in leader lawrence hammond, and drummer gregory dewey ( who later appeared in country joe and the fish and grootna), and solid if often challenging playing from rick bockner, dave robinson,and tom manning. mad river is a generally very good, if sometimes difficult first album
