About this album
Paradise With An Ocean View shows Country Joe McDonald refining his protest-era instincts into a more relaxed but still pointed set of folk-rock and country-rock songs. Issued in 1975, the album folds political commentary, humour and road-worn storytelling into an intimate acoustic setting, with McDonald’s distinctive voice keeping the material direct and human. Songs such as Save The Whales! and Tear Down The Walls underline his long-standing social conscience, while the warmer, more reflective moments broaden the record beyond protest song alone. It stands as a solid example of McDonald’s mid-1970s work, when topical songwriting and laid-back California roots music often met in the same groove.
