Today's first selection is "Time of the Season" by The Zombies. I don't know why but I've always associated this song with autumn and Halloween. Probably because of it's minor key, the heavily reverbed clapping and gasping sounds, the delayed subdued vocal and the crazy double-tracked organ playing. A classic! Too bad the band did not enjoy the success of this song as a band.
There are not too many country songs that I would consider great for Halloween but Porter Wagoner's "Rubber Room" is about as psychedelic as country ever got. The song may start off rather tame but even at the end of the intro you can tell something is awry. Progressively we start to hear an odd organ and then heavily-echoed vocals and a great buildup at the end.
