I've always been very fond of "side one" of this Vanilla Fudge album. The full length treatment of Junior Walker's "Shotgun" is less about pulling the trigger than about bludgeoning a mortar shell with a sledge hammer. It's ace. Only the Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood original tops Fudge's cover of "Some Velvet Morning," in which the singer promises to tell us about "Phaedra" but never does. I will. Phaedra was a half-goddess cursed with a desire for younger men who hung herself out of guilt & shame after her son rejected her sexual advances. Obviously, something very odd was bugging Lee Hazlewood. The Fudge do it up like soundtrack music for a Dario Argento movie, & it rates with their spooky version of "Season of the Witch." It's followed by "Where Is Happiness," a slow rumination on why not getting laid qualifies as spiritual suffering. You also get a slam-bang "Good Good Lovin'," "People," (an original song if not title) & a radio edit of "Shotgun" for listeners inclined to get migraines. But if you get migraines, please stop listening to this album. "Break Song" is a 25 minute long Recorded Live in Concert wrestling match in an elephant graveyard, a perfect example of the genre, but I'm sure most of the audience had passed out before Carmen's drum solo...
