A clarification: I didn't want to compare two very different albums like "In the Court" and "TMR"... I just wanted to respond to Haikara, who was wondering which other album released in '69 could compete with KC in terms of experimentalism and innovation :-)

"I was only 17/I fell in love with a gipsy queen": the grandchildren of Deep Purple. Outdated, but legendary.

"New Dawn Fades" is exemplary as a soundtrack for a man's journey to the chosen place for his suicide.

Thanks everyone! :-) @Fest: why did you bring up the Can? @Psycho: the British invasion influenced folk-rock (see the Byrds)...as for the rest, garage music probably started in '63 with Louie Louie...and what is garage if not a squared-off version of the old, dirty Rock'n'Roll from the '50s (all American stuff)...Anyway, yes, there was indeed an exchange of ideas between the UK and the USA in the '60s, in one way or another...

What a record! It's proof that indie and grunge owe a debt to tradition, to country. Kirkwood is a genius: his range of sounds is impressive (distortions, feedback, dissonances, saturated sound, acoustic, fingerpicking, glissando...) and vocalizations (hysterical falsetto, dreamlike whisper, clumsy register)... Extraordinary is the impressionistic way he arranged the tracks: psychedelic yet essential... He knew how to put country to hardcore beats without falling into the grotesque (a very difficult feat). Imaginative.
