Together (Country Joe and the Fish album)

Together is the third album by the American psychedelic rock band Country Joe and the Fish, released in 1968. Country Joe McDonald had briefly left the band prior to the recording sessions. All of the band members contributed to the songwriting. Together is the band's most commercially successful album.

The original lineup of the band broke up after the release of Together.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "McDonald tended to favor droning mantras like the album-closing 'An Untitled Protest', which worked better when contrasted with the likes of Melton's catchy anti-New York diatribe, 'The Streets of Your Town', and the group-written 'Rock and Soul Music'."
