Blue Cheer album Product Description

Blue Cheer, the fourth album, is the perpetual group in transition once again rolling with the punches. A vast improvement over New! Improved! Blue Cheer, the sound here is more contained, consistent, and identifiable. Rather than cover Eddie Cochran, as they did with their hit "Summertime Blues" off Vincebus Eruptum, the outside material is tellingly by Delaney Bramlett and MacDavis, a wonderfully laid-back "Hello L. A., Bye-Bye Birmingham." By this time they were sounding more like the Band than the first disc's monstrous musical onslaught, which resembled a naďve Cream or precursor to Grand Funk. Bruce Stephens decided to exit during this recording, but that didn't hamper things the way some of the New! Improved! Blue Cheer record suffered. Stephens' vocal performances are placed right in the middle of everything, tracks two and four on side A, tracks two and four on side B, he writing or co-writing three of the titles, and doing a fine job singing on keyboard player Ralph Burns Kellogg's "Better When We Try." The trading of vocals between founding member Dickie Peterson, who handles the other six titles, was a plus for this group, and as songwriter Gary Yoder contributed the opening and closing tracks, "Fool" and "The Same Old Story," his presence would make itself more valuable when he became guitarist on B.C. #5: The Original Human Being. Bruce Stephens' "Saturday Freedom" is a delicious slice of psychedelic blues and the more musical direction this aggregation was seeking began to really develop on Blue Cheer, this fourth chapter in their storied career. Positioned to be a major cult phenom, these albums represent a unique vision different from Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Steve Miller Band, the Jefferson Airplane, and other California musicians, though elements of all find their way into the grooves. "Ain't That the Way (Love's Supposed to Be)" is an absolute West Coast rave up, showing Peterson in complete control of his project, no matter how many stones were fired at them. His other two compositions, "Natural Man" and "Rock and Roll Queens," have a groove and are entertaining. While Mott the Hoople was mixing grunge and hard rock with their "Rock & Roll Queen," this band from the other side of the world put a different spin on the same topic, utilizing pretty much the same title. ...See Full Description

A Kinder Gentler Blue Cheer
Blue Cheer's 1st 2 albums probably set the standard for both Punk and Metal with their ferocity and pure sick attitude but with each successive album and numerous lineup changes by the time this one came out they were Blue Cheer in name only. Dickie Peterson was the only remaining original member and the bombast and fearsome sonic assaults were far behind him. This album reflects the mellower country rock sound that was dominant at the time and fans of the earlier Eruptum era BC will probably be disappointed. I like this album mainly because I appreciate music of this era. Saturday Freedom, Fool, and Delaney Bramlett's Hello L.A. Bye Bye Birmingham are nice cuts but if you are expecting proto metal stoner sludge give this a pass. For True BC fans only.

The end of the era.
The year 1969 offered this generations last breath with Blue Cheer one of its legacy . Laced with the uncertianty of existance beyond the next day Blue Cheer offered up the last gasping soul of psychedelic as we knew it. This album eulogized the song writers stories with raw vocals and steady musical ryhthm, the most basic of garage bands as we knew them. Saturday Freedom didnt open up the door it gracefully, poetically and sadly closed it. Peace! N. Nequette
