Mix of Heavy Psychedelia & Country Rock

LINK

Mother Tucker’s Yellow Duck were a psychedelic-folk rock group from Vancouver, British Columbia formed in 1967. Riding the wave of the psychadelic movement taking the West Coast by storm in the late 1960s, Mother Tuckers Yellow Duck was originally a loose group of stage performers, where everyone had different characters... Commercial success eluded them although they managed to release two fine albums that melded blues, country, folk, hard rock and psychedelia seamlessly.
