Chubby Checker - Chubby Checker Goes Psychedelic

Review by Peter Kaizer

Chubby Checker's album "Chubby Checker Goes Psychedelic" is a unique departure from his signature rock and roll sound. The album, released in 1969, features Checker experimenting with psychedelic rock, a genre that was gaining popularity at the time.

The album features 11 tracks, including covers of popular songs like "All Along the Watchtower" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Checker's voice, known for its powerful range and energy, is still present on the album, but it is layered with trippy guitar riffs and experimental sound effects.

While some fans may have been disappointed with the departure from Checker's classic sound, "Chubby Checker Goes Psychedelic" has its own charm. The album showcases Checker's willingness to explore new sounds and push boundaries, something that was rare for artists at the time.

Looking for this on wax for over 30 years. Cant find a copy anywhere. Willing to trade something else impossible to find.

Great sound. The first song with the organ reminds me of Like a rolling stone. How does it feel?

Goodbye Victoria is a #progressiverock song

I was gonna make a comment suggesting what highlights to pick out from this album but honestly the whole album was so good I think I'd list most the album. This was an honest shock and i really hope this gets added to streaming cause Goodbye Victoria would be getting some significant plays from me.

So by 1983 he expected babies to be born in space

Its got a bit of flavor of Eric Claptons pop songs

Just heard Gypsy on the radio this weekend. It is on the CD reissue and from the same era as this album, maybe it was the lead single? Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DButxDrfyqg

I remember reading Chubby had new management and a European label offered a deal, they were all pushing to change Chubby into a more contemporary act. Whether he was a willing participant or not, he became disillusioned with the new style and poor sales and quickly settled back into the nostalgia set and has denounced this album ever since. I think its kinda awesome though.

He sounds like Jackie Wilson here

AKA "Chubby Checker goes Psychedelic".

silasbangyi

i wonder if Chubby and Hendrix were friends?!?

can't find much info regarding it (or Chubby's life 1965-1970!?)... maybe he was one of the stars that played with Laughing Sam's Dice?!?! ;)

You can tell it's a french record because it's spelled all stupidally.
french people don't spell good stuff. there dumb.

alharbifatima20

great no matter what this cat sings...

bagaskarakandika

I bet if Joe Cocker sang on this, it would be his biggest selling album. Poor Chubby. This record is solid and lots of soul

Are you all high, or are you delirious .. you CAN'T be serious !! This has got to be one of the dumbest, most ridiculous albums that I've EVER heard .. and I've heard a whole LOT of lousy bands / musicians in my 63 years here on earth. ~~ btw ... This is NOT "Psychedelic Music" It's "BOGUS ROCK" !!! ~~~ Lol !!!!!
