Country Joe & The Fish, emblematic of 60’s psychedelia, made their mark with their unique approach of combining protest song and psychedelic rock. Born in San Francisco, the band embodied the revolutionary energy of that tumultuous period.
Country Joe McDonald and Barry Melton, the band’s leaders, converted the social unrest of their time into powerful protest anthems. Their hit song, “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag”, remains a scathing critique of the Vietnam War, resonating to this day.
Their bold performances defined an era, seamlessly blending the rebellious spirit of rock’n’roll with the political awareness of folk. Country Joe & The Fish, more than a band, represents the essence of an era, the rallying cry of a generation ready to challenge the world.
