Spin Doctors - "Turn It Upside Down"

If there was a pot lovin' hippie jam band of the 90s, these guys were it. They had several radio hits from their album "Pocket Full Of Kryptonite" which I have on cassette. I loved that album and bought "Turn It Upside Down" based on that. I believe this was their follow up. It's much less radio friendly, and by the time of this release, radio had changed anyway. There are a couple really great songs on here, some that were actually written, and several that are the result of jams. I really like the style of their guitar player. His style is unique, kind of a cross between bluesy rock and funk. I haven't listened to this album for a while, but I think I'm going to put it back in the rotation. And of course, you can check it out on Amazon.
