Not to be confused with the My Friend Jack Smoke, or any other Smoke out there. This is a wonderful slice of pop-psych from the left coast circa 1968. Complete with orchestration and mild psychedelia, obviously someone was inspired by Sgt. Peppers, but this album can stand on it’s own without being a cheap imitator. With memorable songs like Fogbound, Cowboys and Indians, October Country are sure to please your ears. However my favorite pick goes to Hobbit Symphony, with it’s searing guitars segueing into some fine psychedelic instrumental parts, not typical of the remainder of the album however.
