Uploaded by artstar19 on Oct 4, 2008
This track is from their self titled album. Fear Itself, which was led by singer/guitarist Ellen McIlwaine, got their start in Atlanta in 1967 and later moved to New York to record this album. The group performed in various places including Filmore East and the Woodstock Festival in 1968, which was a year before the better known Woodstock 1969.

Arlen - that's where I first heard Ellen, on WMMS. I had an interview with her (with dj Digby) on a 7" tape - long gone. She played the Smiling Dog a few times. I saw her here in Atlanta, about 10 years ago. Always loved the band name - Fear Itself.

I bought this album when it first came out, and as an impressionable teenager it left a big impression. Finally got a copy again a couple of years ago...still enchants. Sure it is a bit rough but hey this was 1967.

The other version is on the album Up From the Skies: The Polydor. It's even better imo.

Ellen McIlwaine wrote this song about Jimi Hendrix, whom she played with at Greenwhich Village's Cafe Au Go Go during the mid-60's.

I didn't know about the band until the internet, but Ellen's solo career was well-documented on the Cleveland radio station WMMS. Solo, she recorded a different version of "Underground River" that seems preferable to my ears---her voice got bigger and deeper.
