Born
to Be Burned is a compilation album by the San Francisco garage rock
and psychedelic rock band the Great Society. The album is made up of
material recorded during the band's short-lived association with Autumn
Records in 1965, with the majority of it previously unreleased. The
exceptions to this are the songs "Someone to Love" and "Free Advice"
(tracks 1 and 2 on the album), which had both been issued as a single on
Northbeach Records, a subsidiary of Autumn Records, in February 1966.
The
album contains many of The Great Society's signature songs, including
"Free Advice", a drone-laden piece of raga rock, greatly influenced by
Indian classical music, and "Father Bruce", a song inspired by comedian
and counterculture hero, Lenny Bruce. The oriental-sounding
"Daydream-Nightmare-Love" and the darkly psychedelic "Born to Be Burned"
are also included. "Someone to Love" is arguably The Great Society's
most famous song, due to the later hit single version by Jefferson
Airplane (retitled "Somebody to Love"). The Great Society's vocalist,
Grace Slick, joined Jefferson Airplane in late 1966 and consequently she
sings lead vocal on the Airplane's recording of the song, which became a
Top 5 hit in the U.S. in May 1967.
