10/18/2007 | Their third album from late 1967, "After Bathing At Baxter's" wasn't the best Airplane album, but it was probably the most challenging and innovative, and as a result, sales, while good, were much less than "Surrealistic Pillow" which was one of the big albums of 1967. This track starts off with some interesting percussion, weird effects and voices, and almost Middle Eastern music. It's rythmic and catchy, with the kind of offbeat, nonsensical but interesting surrealistic lyrics that were introduced by Dylan, borrowed by many psychedelic acts, and also used by later lyricists like Keith Reid of Procol Harum and Pete Brown, who co- wrote many of Cream's words with Jack Bruce. This is a fine song, perhaps not amongst their very best tracks but a second tier Airplane tune.
