“Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)” #5 3/16/1968

Occasionally songs become hits that were totally out of character for the act. The First Edition (Kenny Rogers wasn’t billed above the group yet) primarily did country and pop-flavored tunes, not surprising since most of the members were formerly with the New Christy Minstrels. Jerry Lee Lewis had even done this one earlier. The foray into psychedelia featured a backwards guitar intro played by Glen Campbell. Other Wrecking Crew musicians (Hal Blaine, Joe Osborn and Mike Deasy) appeared as well. This was part of a dream sequence in “The Big Lebowski.”
