Proud Flesh Soothseer is a 1968 album by Linn County. The album predominantly features lengthy blues rock and psychedelic rock jams typical of its era. It barely sold and didn't chart. Cave Song was co-written by the band's previous bassist Bob Miskimen, despite him not being featured on the album.
