UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSIC: COUNTRY JOE MCDONALD

 Few rock band were better at tapping into the anti-war sentiments of the 60 and 70s than Country Joe and the Fish.  Co-foundd and led by 'Country" Joe McDonald,, the band merged country, bluegrass, psychedelic, and rock music in a way that made them popular headliners at concerts, festivals, and rock venues throughout the country.  McDonald, now in his 80s, has recorded 83 albums over the years and has spent much of his life as a political activist.
