Country Joe

Joseph Allen McDonald was the leader and lead singer of the 1960s rock & roll group, Country Joe and the Fish.

Country Joe has recorded 33 albums and has written hundreds of songs over a career spanning 40 years. He and Barry Melton co-founded Country Joe and The Fish which became a pioneer psychedelic band with their eclectic performances at The Avalon Ballroom, the Fillmore, Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock.

Their best-known song is his The 'Fish' Cheer / I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, a black comedy novelty song about the Vietnam War, whose familiar chorus (One, two, three, what are we fighting for?) is well known to the Woodstock generation and Vietnam Vets of the 1960s and 1970s.
