Psychedelic States Pt. 5

think this is the last of the multi-disc "states", somewhat surprisingly it is from Alabama, hardly
what I would have guessed, if pressed, was exactly a hotbed of psychedelia......never know, though, maybe the U of A had a way-out there psych scene.....anyway, the rest of the States are single disc efforts, unless I am missing another one ala New York Disc 3......

So, OK, what have we here? The name "George Wallace Jr." jumps out as someone at the very least owning a sense of humor.......I'll mention The Vikings for absolutley NO reason other than my fandom of the Minnesota Vikings. The Mishaps turn in a version of "Under My Thumb", and the Distortions bring us their version of "Smokestack Lightning"......I do remember the track "Reflections of Charles Brown" by Mickey Buckins & the New Breed from I THINK "Mega Nuggets", and, frankly, always hated it.

Anyway, like most of the other states, I'll assume that while most of these bands/tracks are unfamiliar to MOST of the US, perhaps some Alabamian will fill us in on someone here that they consider a local "legend", I LOOOOOOVE hearing about stuff like that.

Two discs, 53 tracks, let me know your thoughts.......
