http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4282&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fthe-incredible-string-band%2Fplaylists.rssIn the mid '60s, Incredible String Band were among the first hippies to take Scottish, Celtic and British folk and fold in a heady mixture of Indian music and psychedelia. With rough musicianship and a sense of the absurd, ISB created some of the most unique music of their time, winning the praise of critics and a fervent following. Mike Heron, Robin Williamson and Clive Palmer formed the ISB in 1965. They recorded a self-titled album for Elektra in 1966, but it was their 1967 alum, <i>The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion</i> (now minus Palmer), with its far out cover art and colorful take on folk music, that introduced them to the LSD-gobbling public at large. 1968's <i>The Farmer's Beautiful Daughter</i>, with even stronger psychedelic elements, went to No. 5 on the UK charts. Their star continued to rise until 1970, followed by a steady decline until they called it quits in 1974. Palmer returned for a 1999 reunion, and the band has continued to perform here and there, touring the UK in 2006. - Mike McGuirkBritish Folken720Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:14:42 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4282&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fthe-incredible-string-band%2Fplaylists.rss In the mid '60s, Incredible String Band were among the first hippies to take Scottish, Celtic and British folk and fold in a heady mixture of Indian music and psychedelia.
