Big Brother & The Holding Company, Janis Joplin

San Francisco Psychedelia

Ballroom bands who stretched blues and folk into twenty-minute jams, pressed before anyone edited them down.

Canterbury Scene

English jazz-rock with fuzz organ, odd time signatures and deadpan humour — a family tree, not a sound.

Palm Desert Stoner Rock

Downtuned guitars through bass amps, generator power in the open desert, and every band sharing the same six players.
