Blue Cheer Artist Snapshot:

The Northern California band Blue Cheer injected the American rock sound of the 1960s with an ungodly dose of power and volume. Once dubbed "the World's Loudest Band," Blue Cheer presaged heavy metal and established the blueprint for an expansive version of psychedelia that has permeated rock's underground ever since. Though the band has had numerous releases over its long on-again/off-again career, the 1968 album VINCEBUS ERUPTUM remains its finest hour, and features a stunningly massive reworking of the Eddie Cochran classic, "Summertime Blues."

Recorded between 1968 & 1971.

Any true heavy metal fan should own copies of Blue Cheer's first two albums, VINCEBUS ERUPTUM and OUTSIDEINSIDE; those two 1968 releases largely defined the early days of the style, and remain classics of the genre. However, the band's later albums aren't nearly as impressive.

This makes 1990's GOOD TIMES ARE SO HARD TO FIND essential for the novice or casual fan, because it unfailingly picks the best and hardest tracks from the last few Blue Cheer albums, which were more concerned with the boogie than sonic destruction. "Fruit and Icebergs," the anthemic title track, and the good-time choogle "Bye Bye Birmingham, Hello L.A." are particular standouts. As a whole, GOOD TIMES ARE SO HARD TO FIND is a more than adequate summation of Blue Cheer's later career.
