IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA DELUXE BOX SET comes in a hardshell box with original artwork and contains a video, CD and booklet with commentary by the band members.
Iron Butterfly was the American answer to the heavy riff-rock of British groups like Cream and Led Zeppelin, with a touch of Vanilla Fudge's organ-led theatricality and the Doors' mysterioso image. They will forevermore be known for the 17-minute title track of this, their second album.
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (a poke at singer/organist Doug Ingle's gruff, John Kay-like delivery of "In the Garden of Eden") is built around one of the most memorable riffs of the '60s. It's filled out by long solos from all concerned, especially from drummer Ron Bushy, whose lengthy extemporizing provided the template for Big Rock Drum Solos for decades to come. The rest of the tunes reveal that Iron Butterfly did indeed possess some pop sensibility to leaven the heaviness; "Flowers and Beads" in particular is simultaneously a romantic '60s pop-rock ballad and a subtle but surprising swipe at flower power culture.

 It was great...but...
This album was well done but a few tracks let down the title of this album. I guess when for in-a-gada-da-vida i really expected that one song to be the only one i would like. Although termination and are you happy are also good tunes, this music is really 60's rock (first 3 tracks) i guess I just had to be there to appreciate it, instead i was 18 years too late. The song in-da-gadda-da-vida is an incredible song that was really insperational for rock bands of the future and i would recommend this cd to people who enjoy improvistion rock or stuff from wood stock (like jimi hendrix)

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 60's Rock Anthem
Purchased this album when it came out in 68'.
Certainly an album that typified the times.
In-A-Gadda will go down as one of the great
early rock sides, a true rock classic

"Calling the cows home." That is what Monique Doolittle would attribute some her strong vocal character to. Growing up on a small farm in Mid Michigan, she spent a lot of time calling the cows and horses up to eat when she did her chores. " It is a special sound that comes from deep inside to bring the cows in from the pasture." Says Monique. "I can't really explain how you do it. I learned it from my mom." She adds. Monique has gone way beyond calling the cows these days. She is very busy with a successful career as a singer and songwriter. With her soulful, gutsy voice she enjoys singing all kinds of music. "I love all music, but my heart is in the country, country music that is." She laughs. She goes on to add that her father use to force her and her brother to listen to it as kids. "We were raised listening to the old country greats, such as Johnny Cash, Buck Owens and Marty Robbins." "I didn't like ...
