6. The Misunderstood – Who Do You Love
Single B-Seite von „I Can Take You To The Sun“ UK 1966, geschrieben von Bo Diddley 1956

US/UK-Prog/Psychedelic band. They started under the name „The Blue Notes“ in Riverside, California in late 1963, playing Surf music. After a little come and go, they finally completed their line-up in 1965 and also changed the band name to „The Misunderstood“.
It was during one of their live perfomances, when they happen to meet english DJ John Ravenscroft, alias John Peel, who was hooked and began to act as their mentor. It was probably his suggestion that „The Misunderstood“ headed London in 1966, where they due to some help of John Peels brother Alan, manage to get a deal with Fontana Records. Their style now ranges from progressive Blues to Psychedelic (especially live).

But in London the trouble started. Forced by drug problems of two members and an army draft of one, the band line-up was changing several times, until the final split just a few month later, in early 1967.
Despite the short time of only two years, „The Misunderstood“ manage to leave their mark in the history book to such contemporaries as Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd.
A psychedelic rock version by the Misunderstood was recorded in 1966 and released as the B-side to the „I Can Take You to the Sun“ single on Fontana Records.[1] Author Dave Thompson writes, „The Misunderstood pumped it up but kept it short, psychedelic sound effects, heart attack drums, [and] eerie harmonics“.[1] Misunderstood guitarist Glenn Ross Campbell reworked „Who Do You Love“ with his later band, Juicy Lucy, which reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart in 1970.[47] The song features Campbell’s psychedelic steel guitar lines, which Thompson describes „as fast and mean and dirty as any record could have been, a breakneck tour through the bayou swamps and dirt-track roads of the American South, powered by a guitar to make your fingers bleed“.
