CJ and the Fish's first album (electric music) was sensational, and i like 4-5 songs of their second album (fix'n to die)....... but does anyone know much about the quality of album's AFTER fixin to die?

[squarepyramid99]

Are u asking Me?

The album after "Fixin to Die" was called "Together". It can't be said to be as good as the 2 previous, BUT had "Streets of our Town", "Waltzin' In the Moonlight", which are classics and maybe "Cetacean"..."Away Bounce my Bubbles"...worthy to hear and probably get. After THAT was a line-up change, in which various members of Janis Joplin's backing band Big Brother entered. They produced the 4th album "CJ Fish"...honestly i have never heard it,nor any of the following ones!

This was one of my favourite songs when I was released.

Released from what and where and whom? Wondering what kind of criminal you were??? Doesn't matter too much, as long as u didn't murder music.

i`m continuously amazed by what shows up on you tube...gret songs that never got air time while very often typical mediocre stuff you hear over and over. if i was a dj youd hear this, youd hear jefferson airplane`s version of wooden ships to name just a couple of the many great but never heard. bravo for posting this.thanks

This was one of my favorite songs when it was released. I completely forgot about it! Saw Pat's song on the playlist and thought "didn't I used to know that song?" I was stunned at the memories it brought back, my tastes seem to have changed somewhat since the day, but still not a bad song. My thanks for posting it. I used to drive my parents crazy with this song, now that I am their age, I understand what they were putting up with. (Somewhat, at least) Peace out.

@squarepyramid99 CJ FIsh is absolutely amazing.  Barry melton is just incredible on it.

@squarepyramid99 Late response brother but got the answer. Him, his brother Larry, and dad Bernie all were into jazz and called each other with nicknames relating to a local jazz club. Gary was Chic, and Larry was Mic and the dad Bernie was thick papa. During the photoshoot of their first album cover they asked him for a nickname and when he gave them chic they somehow thought it was chicken. :) Good day man :)
