Fats Mallard and the Bluegrass Fireball
From the underappreciated concept album (The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands) by the Turtles we have an album where different “bands” appeared. This allowed the group to not only stretch their skills musically, as each “band” had a completely different sound and also showcase their humor.
The Turtles exploration of the Bluegrass genre may have confused the young kids who purchased this album hoping for variations of Happy Together. Of course, if that were what they were hoping for, they would have long been confused by the second track. We will say that their very brief foray into the Bluegrass sound made us curious to see what they would have done if they wanted to make a complete record of it.
The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
The Turtles present the Battle of the Bands (1968)
Actors/Performers:
The Turtles
Songs you might remember:
Chicken Little Was Right
Why you should vote for them:
Listening to this song was such a departure from their signature song; Happy Together that you can’t help but be impressed.
Why you should not vote for them:
We aren’t sure ourselves if the Turtles billing themselves under another name for one song only should even count.
