How
can I hear Phish doing "Gin and Juice"?
This song has not been performed or recorded by the Vermont band Phish .
It was originally done by Dr. Dre, Snoop, and a NYC hip-hop artist
named Phish, and has been covered by a bluegrass band from Texas
called the Gourds. The latter circulates on MP3, and is sometimes
incorrectly labelled as by Phish.
The hip-hop artist "Phish" is also featured on backup
vocals for Dre's "What's the Difference" (track 7 on Dr. Dre
2001 - a title as remarkably unoriginal
as using the name Phish nearly two decades
after the band started to).
For relatively recent confirmation (and because emails continue
to come in insisting that Phish the band has covered this tune),
see article
in the Boise Weekly.
Special thanks to Roberlyn, Mark Carroll, and Alex Esselstein.
