About This Song
About "Parchment Farm (Album Version)" by Blue Cheer
Blue Cheer's 'Parchment Farm' is a raw, blues-rock howl from the late '60s. The title evokes dusty fields and chain-gang weariness, and the band delivers that heaviness with fuzzed-out guitars and a stomping rhythm. The tension is between the song's oppressive subject matter and the liberating noise of the performance.
