Description
Mornin' Y'All *S*
"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" is a song written by Mickey Newbury.
Said to reflect the LSD experience, Newbury wrote it as a subtle parody of the emerging underground rock culture. First recorded in 1967 by Jerry Lee Lewis, who rejected it, it was a hit for The First Edition (with Kenny Rogers on lead vocals) in 1968. It was Rogers's first top ten hit in the Billboard charts, but not typical of the country folk harmonies that characterized most of The First Edition's catalog.
However, the group were no strangers to rock music, bouncing between country, pop, rock, and folk.
The innovative song features Rogers on lead vocals and was the group's second single. The psychedelic hard rock arrangement made quite an impression in the music field. According to Rogers, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" was Jimi Hendrix's favorite song. This is possibly due to the way in which the guitars on the track were recorded, which was quite different from what was standard at the time. Producer Mike Post reversed a few chords to create a spooky intro, and the proto-metal solo played by Glen Campbell was heavily reverbed.

Super abstract and great colors. I remember the song very well though I didn't partake of the goodies.... sounds almost like I didn't inhale, doesn't it? ;o) Great work. Bunny

Excellent psychedelic image. Such a time that was -- tumultuous and simultaneously interlaced with hope and lucidity. Anyway dear Mina, I love the image and am still trying to shake that tune you brought up the other day by Roberta Flack ... whatta ear worm. :-) Well done!

I found my mind in a brown paper bag within, I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high, I tore my mind on a jagged sky . . . Your image perfectly captures that song and that time! It's hard to believe that was almost 40 years ago . . . heavy, man.
