Have Moicy! was recorded over the course of three days back in 1975 by the musical equivalent of the Yippies. Leading the way was Holy Model Rounders founder Peter Stampfel, aided and abetted by fellow travelers Michael Hurley and Jeff Fredrick. The lot of them patched together a never-too-cute assortment of country-folk novelty numbers that are playful, irreverent, randy, and ribald ("We fill up our guts and then we turn it into shit and then get rid of it"). Just the sort of stuff folk music had misplaced and desperately needed in order to remain relevant. Singer/songwriters may have become bogged down in self-reflection, but not these loons. Here was Hurley contemplating baked potatoes and pork chops ("The Slurf Song," "Sweet Lucy"). Frederick, meanwhile, fretted his way through "What Made My Hamburger Disappear" and Stampfel wailed with out-of-tune gusto on "Griselda" (indie rockers Yo La Tengo salvaged the latter on its beguiling collection of covers, Fakebook). It's nearly impossible not to like Have Moicy!, and it's damn easy to love it. --Steven Stolder

Good Ol' Days December 21, 2008
Susan L. Armero
This album truly reminds me of the better days. It saddens me to think the cusp, the height of American life came and went. A time when people weren't secretive, hateful, and bad (for lack of a better word). Yet, I'm also glad in a sense, because now i can sit back and reflect on my time. Listening to Have Moicy! brings everyone way back to that bittersweet nostalgic place in their mind. The sound is unique and the subject matter meaningful in its irrelevance. I bought this album half way through my reading of Sometimes a Great Notion (Penguin Classics) by Ken Kesey. They compliment each other perfectly, if you liked that book you'll love Have Moicy! The country folk genre is one definitely overlooked in the digital age. This album is great for fans and definitely for beginners to this peculiarly touching genre like myself. A definite buy.
My favorite songs: Sweet Lucy, Slurf Song, Driving Wheel, Robbin' Banks
DRIVE YOUR GIRLFRIENDS INSANE September 24, 2008
Cristopher R. Walker (Puna, Hawaii)
Folks, this album is legendary. The male hippies i grew up with played this LP so frequently that it was often the biggest point of argument in the household, especially when drugs were in short supply. (times of no money and pot will get you through hard times better than money and no pot). Now, it's 30 years later, and i still remember all the songs and hearing them again is better than a mutual full body orgasm with a juicy college student. If i had to choose between living my life without this album, or without the entire rest of all the music i have or have ever heard, it would be any easy choice. If i have to tell you my choice then you've never heard this album
A Wonderful Album! March 1, 2008
Wilson Smith
I love the fact that every single review of this album (12 as I write this) is a 5-star rave. This album led the Village Voice Pazz & Jop in 75 or 76 but it still took me 15 more years to get around to buying it. Go ahead and get it -- it's simply wonderful. Goofy and surreal and tons of fun.
A perfect album... December 24, 2003

Take the time to read all of the previous reviews of HAVE MOICY....all are accurate and *still* won't prepare you for the wonderful listening experience that awaits you should you purchase this strange, exhilirating album.Imagine the O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack on psychedelics and you're on your own from there. Yippee!!
No collection is complete without 'Have Moicy' October 22, 2002

I love this record. There aren't many albums that stick with you like this one. Putting this album on the box is like having your favorite hippy uncle drop by with a bottle of wine and a load of hilarious stories to tell. It's steeped in a rich tradition of American folk strangeness, the seeds of which can be found in the Harry Smith Folkways collection. These are the psychedelic children of the Grand Ol' Opry in an inspired set of eccentric barn dance songs for the cosmically enhanced rock 'n roll farmboy. "Sweet Lucy" will never let you go...You won't regret buying this one, it's a keeper.
