Transcription

Background

The Fugs recorded The Belle of Avenue A at Apostolic Studios in New York City. The band would split up after its recording, as they had tired of the police and FBI investigations they had received.[1]

The album contains much more restrained and straightforward rock music than its predecessor, It Crawled into My Hand, Honest. The vocals demonstrate Ed Sanders's growing country music influence,[2] and tracks such as "Yodeling Yippie" have been likened to "beatnik country."[3]

  1. "Bum's Song"
  2. "Dust Devil"
