Jukebox Hits of 1968, Vol. 2 rounds up 24 classic songs from a pleasingly wide variety of styles including soul, AM pop, folk-rock, and bubblegum. It sounds like a great radio station, mixing styles, moods, and sounds without missing a beat and unafraid to play songs like Leapy Lee's "Little Arrows" that weren't obvious choices. Any disc that ...

While the rest of the titles in Polygram's Ultimate Driving Collection are spiced up with phrases like "Traffic Jammin'" and "Highway Rockin'," this installment needs just one word to get its point across: California.

With their greatest musical and commercial conquests decades behind them, Blue Cheer manage only brief moments of hard rock glory on this 1990 recording. After a brief European reunion tour, Dickie Peterson (bass/vocals), Andrew McDonald (guitar), and Paul Whaley (drums) stuck together long enough to forge this disc for Germany's Nibelung Records. ...

The 1960s edition of Hard Rock Essentials doesn't cut very deep, but it does live up to its name, including such acid-tinged favorites as "Wild Thing" by the Troggs and Blue Cheer's thick and freaky version of "Summertime Blues." There's also some bluesy hard stuff in the form of the Allman Brothers ("Whipping Post") and John Mayall & the ...

When talks about "stoner rock" come up, one band that tends to get overlooked is Blue Cheer. While groups like Black Sabbath are always given props, the San Francisco band led by Dickie Peterson is usually left out in the cold, despite having scored one of the genre's earliest anthems, a turbo-charged rendition of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues ...

This ten-track budget compilation is a great little bargain for fans of mid-'60s garage band music. There are a couple of ringers whose appearance are debatable in this collection ("Summertime Blues" by Blue Cheer and "Little Red Book" by the Litter), both outside the time frame being spotlighted here. But it's hard to fault the clean master tape ...

The title is a bit misleading for, although this is certainly "new" Blue Cheer, it is hardly an "improvement." It is important as a document of a band with some influence and certain cult status. Now that the Velvet Underground have achieved true cult superstardom, it is bands like Blue Cheer that continue to get rediscovered by devotees of '60s ...

"Hiway Man," which opens the sixth album by Blue Cheer, is a far cry from their version of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues," which launched this group to worldwide fame.

Blue Cheer's massive contribution to the early evolution of American heavy metal exists entirely on their first two 1968 releases, Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside. While those initial releases charted admirably, critics largely ignored the band's loud, bluesy, psychedelic-tinged hard rock. The touchy-feely summer of love lasted a lot longer ...
