Kenny Rogers & The First Edition: Just Dropped In - Smothers Brothers "Stereo Studio Sound" Re-Edit
Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Just Dropped In - The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour - First broadcast January 7, 1968 (My "Stereo Studio Sound" Re-Edit)
Just Dropped In ..." was recorded by The First Edition (with Kenny Rogers on lead vocals) in October 1967, and peaked at number five on the Billboard charts. It was Rogers' first top ten hit. The song captures the psychedelic era of the late 1960s with a hard rock edge that stands in stark contrast to much of the group's other music, which leaned towards country rock and emphasized harmony vocals. Nonetheless, "Just Dropped In..." led to the group's first national TV appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
The song was the group's second single from their eponymous album, The First Edition. Producer Mike Post reversed a few riffs to create the intro; the guitar solo played by Glen Campbell was heavily compressed and a tremolo effect was used to achieve its sound. Another studio guitarist, Mike Deasy, provided the acoustic lead guitar parts. The track was recorded by Jimmy Valentine at "Valentine Recording Studios" located in Valley Village California.
According to Kenny Rogers, Jimi Hendrix once told him that this was his all-time favorite song.
The song can be heard, almost in its entirety, during a psychedelic dream sequence in the Coen Brothers' 1998 film The Big Lebowski.
