Fever Tree

Another Time Another Place

Very Rare Original US LP released on UNI Records in 1969. 1st US pressing in a Unipak gatefold sleeve.

The second (and arguably most fully realized) album from Texas psychedelic band  Fever Tree, Another Time, Another Place owes less to the sound of roots-based  contemporaries like the 13th Floor Elevators, Moving Sidewalks, or the Sir  Douglas Quintet and more to heavier West Coast acid rock. One of the most  underrated '60s psych bands, Fever Tree comes off like a coincidental midnight  meeting of Jim Morrison, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, and  Jimi Hendrix at the tail end of a drug and whiskey binge. Luckily, however, the  group transcends its influences by sheer force of attitude. The material here  (mostly written by producers Scott Holtzman and Vivian Holtzman) is of generally  pretty high quality, wisely avoiding too much of the drippy "ice cream cones and  cosmic smiles" type stuff that bogged down the work of pretenders like Ultimate  Spinach and Tricycle. Fever Tree was always a real, down and dirty rock band,  and this record is no exception. Although in the liner notes the group stops  just short of apologizing for including the oft-covered song "Fever," this  version actually kicks some serious ass. Other highlights include the bawdy,  roadhouse-style rocker "What Time Did You Say It Is in Salt Lake City," "Grand  Candy Young Sweet" (a frightening, tuned-down plodder that sounds like  Soundgarden's Kim Thayil jamming with Jandek), and the excellent chamber pop  tune "Death Is a Dancer." The album's only questionable moment comes with "I've  Never Seen an Evergreen," a sullen, hazy drug song that might have fit perfectly  on a Roky Erikson album, but just sounds out of place here. Also of note is the  over seven-minute instrumental "Jokes Are for Sad People," which fulfills the  unwritten psychedelic statute requiring one long trippy jam per album, but  thankfully does so with a minimum of pointless noodling and a generous helping  of compositional flair.
