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.

In October 2011, the album was given its first reissue on CD, and remains the only album by Linn County that is currently in print.
