Barry Mcguire & The Doctor: Barry Mcguire

Barry intoned one of the most iconic protest songs of the '60s, Eve of Destruction-but this 1971 LP is like nothing else he ever did. Fueled by illicit substances, he and blues guitarist Doctor Eric Hord (who played with Mamas & Papas) combined psychedelic story-songs with country-blues jams: The Old Farm, Too Much City, Electric City, Train and more. This didn't sell a lick-even though Chris Hillman, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Bernie Leadon and Herb Alpert played on the sessions-but it's become a cult classic that the No Depression roots-music blog called a lost treasure of the era. CD debut! Real Gone Music.
