I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die is the second studio album by the American psychedelic rock band Country Joe and the Fish, released in November 1967, six months after the band's debut album, Electric Music for the Mind and Body. It is another prime example of the band's experimentation which features organ-heavy psychedelia and Eastern melodic lines, with more acoustic guitar than the debut...

The album demonstrates the band using satirical humor to express their outspoken views toward the Vietnam War and other topics of the counterculture. Although many of the tracks were not as well-known, they were still accessible and showcased Country Joe McDonald as a lead vocalist. With the creativity of the band reaching a peak, the band began touring nationally and internationally - Wikipedia

Electric Music for the Mind and Body is the debut album by the American psychedelic rock band Country Joe and the Fish. Released in May 1967 on the Vanguard label, it was one of the first psychedelic albums to come out of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The album was received warmly on release with the Berkeley Gazette in glowing praise, ..echo chambers, distortion, and other electronic embellishments...the mood is essentially psychedelic, with the texture of smoky colored glass."

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Bruce Eder felt that the album is "one of the most important and enduring documents of the psychedelic era". Country Joe later boasted "If you want to understand psychedelic music, and you haven't heard Electric Music for the Mind and Body, then you probably don't know what you're talking about." - Wikipedia
