#82. Moby Grape | Moby Grape (1967)

Moby Grape is a great representation of the San Francisco psychedelic scene of the late '60s. My favorite thing about this album is that there are no attempts to musically recreate an acid trip, just great straight-forward rock & roll with hints of pop, country, blues and folk accents.

This album could have been a major success if not for the record company releasing ten of the thirteen songs on five singles...all at once. "Omaha" was the only single to even chart.

The truth is there's not a dud here and time has been extremely kind to this album. If you're into the Grateful Dead or Jefferson Airplane, you should definitely check this out. Oh, and there's a great cover of "Naked, If I Want To" by Cat Power on her album The Covers Record.
