The United States of America (1968)

I picked up this original 1968 pressing recently as I was aware of it’s apparent legacy as a stone cold Psychedelic classic.

While it’s hard to imagine anything more psych than this, it’s not always an easy listen.

While mostly great, and very trippy, there’s some harsh, avant guarde, discordant experimentation which simply grates.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fabulous experience but not something you’d roll out with much regularity.

Nathan's Session - May 2026

In this session, we explored the road less travelled, the road well travelled, and yet we still ended up hearing the Eagles three times in one round.

In this session, we sought out to prove that the fairer sex can still make a racket with six strings, that music isn’t dead (it just smells funny) and that some of the most interesting artists ignore the rule book.
