	Hum Along and Dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original version of "Hum Along and Dance" was recorded by The Temptations in early 1970 as an album track for the Psychedelic Shack album.
		The Funk Brothers were the instrumentalists for this version of "Hum Along and Dance", and Whitfield uses a number of echo effects and stereo-panning effects on their tracks during the song.
		Towards the final few bars of the record, Otis Williams delivers a heavily echoed chant: "Come on man/take a drag/don't be afraid/it ain't gonna hurt you", an overt reference to marijuana use.

	War (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Williams and Edwards deliver the song's anti-war, pro-peace message over a stripped-down instrumental track, with bass singer Melvin Franklin chanting a repeated boot camp-like "hup, two, three, four" in the background during the verses.
		The song was included as a track on the March 1970 Psychedelic Shack album, which featured the title track as its only single.
		Rather than hinder his career (as it might have done for the Temptations), "War" buoyed Starr's career, and he adopted the image of an outspoken liberal orator for many of his other early-1970s releases, including the similarly-themed "Stop the War Now" from 1971.

		Psychedelic Shack: This new four-CD set should come packaged with free whisker clippers and a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles.
		For her, as for many, the term "psychedelic" conjured up horrifying visions of thundering power rock, à; la Blue Cheer, the San Francisco-based proto-metal band that scored a 1968 hit with a psyched-up version of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues," or the incendiary guitar solos of Jimi Hendrix.
		But psychedelic music has influenced three generations of music makers, and it remains a vital force within the rock, jazz and folk genres around the world.

	The Temptations
		Their first album to break into the pop Top 40, it also hit #1 on the R & B chart, as did almost all the rest of their studio albums through 1973 (!).
		The album's hits weren't their biggest, but are among their most memorable: Smokey's propulsive "Get Ready," and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" by Norman Whitfield and Eddie Holland, a heavy R&B tune (later covered by the Rolling Stones) with a wonderful, pleading Ruffin vocal.
		Supremes' album recorded in the same venue, mostly because the arrangements hew close to the studio versions instead of spinning off into lounge cornball.

	pOoTer's pSycheDelic shAcK - Album Of The Year
		There was one album that really grabbed us the first time it was played, it had so many good qualities that it was immediately put on the shortlist and that was where it stayed, virtually unchallenged.
		Not an album that can easily be compared to the band that DID get the award as both their styles of music are very different.
		The whole album was recorded and mixed in under six weeks, again all done at Graham Day's house, the exception being 'Reflections' that was recorded at Toerag in London, a popular studio for bands like the 'Flares due to it being crammed full of vintage valve gear.

	soul sides - october 2000
		"Psychedelic Shack" is kind of groovy, but it begins better than it finishes and the vocals sort of ruin it in a lot of places.
		Decent, but not extraordinary album that has a weird mix of super funky soul ("Zimba Ku") and some hot, uptempo funk ("Last Dance") but also a lot of "off" songs that can't seem to figure out if they want to be more rock than soul and much of it lacks consistent funkiness.
		The album is mostly on the mellower side (which is unexpected given the title concept) and I wouldn't say the singing or songwriting is superb but it's not horrible either.

		Their psychedelic Detroit roots became the focus of a determined effort to create something new for the 21st century.
		With their last two albums, Outrageous Cherry drew comparisons to the Velvet Underground, likely due to the fact that their drummers have always been female and all have been discouraged from playing cymbals or hi-hats.
		Cherry’s dedication to the hard-and-fast psychedelic is pretty cool, but it comes with a heavy tradeoff: Supernatural Equinox is tied, sonically as well as ideologically, to the days of acid and bell bottoms.

	The Temptations : Psychedelic Shack - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		1970's Norman Whitfield-produced Psychedelic Shack -- while perhaps a system shock to those fans who grooved to the band's lame-suited, Motown dance-routined R&B classics -- was a magnificent stretch into an epic and ultimately emerged as another in a long line of enduring sets.
		While fellow Motown-er Edwin Starr has etched what is now considered to be the definitive version of the song into the history tablets, the Temptations certainly took their own inspiration and added a unique spin as well.
		And for those who still suffer the scratchy vinyl, a 2002 CD reissue of the album on Dutch Motown finds Psychedelic Shack cunningly paired with the similarly superlative All Directions in a neat two-disc package.

	Temptations Albums Page - 1970s
		This album begins the post-Eddie and Paul period, with Damon Harris and Richard Street plugging the holes.
		To quote Otis Williams, from his 1988 autobiography Temptations, this album was a "mismatched collection of, pardon my French, sh*t." The nine tracks featured producers ranging from Memphis soul man Steve Cropper to Brian Holland (who with brother Eddie co-wrote the set’s only big single, "Keep Holding On").
		The B-side of the album’s only single, "Who Are You," was "Let Me Count the Ways (I Love You)," featuring Melvin in a one-of-a-kind performance.

	Reality lesson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The reference is to one of the most striking tracks on "Stankonia," the fourth album by the Atlanta hip-hop duo Outkast.
		Outkast has a broad musical vision that stretches from the interstellar funk of Parliament-Funkadelic and the trippy soul of the Temptations' "Psychedelic Shack" to the street-wise humor of pre-cookie-cutter gangsta rap.
		When we went in, the mind frame of doing the album was trippy--we tried all kinds of things that sounded new and fresh to us.

		Mostly produced by Norman Whitfield, the album was to yield four singles in the US, the UK or both, including the memorable I Wish It Would Rain, the first Motown single to include sound effects and a US Top Five hit.
		This was to be the last album in the classic Temptations style as the next release debuted their new acid soul sound.
		But before they truly adopted the funkier soul sound on 1969's CLOUD NINE, their previous two albums were still in the smoother vein of their past work, but a few hints of the future were evident.

		album contains brand new material from the band as well as re-recorded versions and re-mastered versions of the band's previously released material.
		Review from Pooter's Psychedelic Shack at pooterland.com: This is the third full album release from Babylonian Tiles, who hail from Long Beach California, and are one of the best and most original contemporary psych bands of recent years.
		Bryna Golden is the mastermind behind this acid goth chaos and she clearly has a vision that's firmly rooted in the California neo-psych culture.

	Chi-Lites
		While pop chart success was still a couple of years off, the basic ingredients of the Chi-Lites were there--Eugene Record's excellent melodies and lyrics, and the group's tightly-sung neo-doo-wop harmonies.
		The group began the '70s with the album I Like Your Lovin', on which they were dead ringers for the "Psychedelic Shack"-era Temptations.
		The albums A Lonely Man (1972), A Letter To Myself (1973), and Toby (1974) all sold well and produced numerous hit singles, although primarily on the RandB charts.

		Psychedelic Shack - Sky's The Limit - Solid Rock - All Directions - Masterpiece -
		Jeffrey Bowen's last shot at the group, and he hedges his bets: side one is funky R&B mostly written by Sly Stone, who appears here under the pseudonym "Truman Thomas," and side two is packed with slow synth epics (performed by Donald Baldwin) that closely imitates Stevie Wonder's Music Of My Mind.
		The album has gotten good press and won a couple of awards, but I think the group's being rewarded for longevity rather than creativity.

	Fab Firsts: The Top 25 debut albums in rock history
		This album just explodes, a soulful, frenzied celebration of the healing power of maximum R&B, all slashing power chords and young man blues and chaos masquerading as a drummer.
		And while it may be Chrissie's show, the blokes she found in England are just punk enough to paint outside the quickly forming punk-rock lines, as brilliant on the tender moments as they are when rocking out.
		On point for the future shock, this album was street when being street did not require calling everyone in sight an n-word.

	Love Shack by The B-52's Songfacts
		This was inspired by a 1970 Temptations song called "Psychedelic Shack," which had the refrain: "Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at."
		Despite this, their only other top 40 hit prior to "Love Shack", was when Rock Lobster was re-released in 1986, when it did rather better making no.12.
		Love Shack is their most well known song though, a song always popular in a party atmosphere.

	TimeLife.com \| Ultimate Seventies: 1970
		Sly's flamboyant group of men and women, fls and whites, perhaps best personified the '60s ideal of unity, and his polyrhythmic soul music was, as one of his album titles boasted, "a whole new thing." He was the undisputed sorcerer of the Woodstock festival.
		The song also pointed toward the rage that provided the foundation for his 1972 album, There's a Riot Goin' On, born out of the struggle for his soul between himself, show business, fl militants, drugs and the white counterculture.
		This was during the peak of the anti-Vietnam era; Motown was bombarded with letters urging them to release the song as a single, but the company did not want to saddle the Tempts with a countercultural image.

	Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Psychedelic Soul
		Though underappreciated as funk revolutionaries -- due mainly to a string of hits like "My Girl" that defined them as pop-soulsters for the Big Chill generation -- the Temptations were, in fact, as important to the emergence of '60s soul power as Marvin Gaye or Sly Stone.
		"Cloud Nine," "Psychedelic Shack," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and others of these two dozen songs were radio mainstays.
		But even then -- especially in the case of "Papa" -- those tracks were edited down from longer versions 8, 10 and 12 minutes long; funk odysseys driven by Dennis Coffey's fuzzed-out guitar and the relentless rhythm attack of Motown's best.

	"Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)"
		Although they still sang love songs with their sister group, the Supremes ("I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," "I'll Try Something New"), they were strictly in a guest-starring role.
		In 1970 the Tempts, as they came to be known, really laid it on thick with "Psychedelic Shack" and "Ball of Confusion," two of their most topical records.
		There were still psychedelic tunes and social comments on the album, but it was clear that sixties revolutionary fervor was beginning to wear thin.

		Psychedelia was already dead by the time the Temptations invited us to the "Psychedelic Shack", but its replacement was already in place: a joyous sort of eclecticism which insisted that the delights of lyrically and instrumentally expanding one's musical vocabulary were at least a match for the delights of chemically expanding one's mind.
		They were, in fact, the first full band on stage at Yasgur's farm, playing three songs from that album.

		On the eve of his first career retrospective, photographer Bud Lee looks back at some of his favorite shots.
		"I Am Six Pounds of Dynamite," arguably the most rocking track on this otherwise non-rocking album, invokes the power of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" with punchy, yet hardly discernable verses and choruses.
		The slide guitar work here (and elsewhere) is impeccable, urging the listener to sit back and enjoy the backwoods ride.
