When I think of music from the sixties, I think of three main genres: folk, psychedelic, and hard rock (hard rock in its original meaning). Of course a lot of bands blurred those genres and they were not so easily definable; in fact, that’s exactly what Prince Rupert’s Drops did at Union Pool on CMJ Friday, in front of a long-haired, heady crowd that danced and jammed along to their insanely unpredictable, Barrettesque psychedelic songs. The band has a really jam band feel as well, and it’s definitely the kind of act you’d have to see live to experience properly. – Read more about John’s CMJ Music Marathon here.
