Our Take

Ah, the Lovin' Spoonful, a band whose name sounds like a rejected breakfast cereal mascot. But don't let their quirky moniker fool you, these guys were a force to be reckoned with in the mid-60s.

"The Very Best Of" is a delightful romp through the band's greatest hits, from the foot-stomping joy of "Do You Believe in Magic" to the laid-back vibes of "Daydream." This album is like a time capsule of the Swinging Sixties, filled with groovy melodies and infectious hooks that will have you bopping along in no time.

But what really sets the Lovin' Spoonful apart is their unique blend of folk, rock, and pop influences. It's like a musical melting pot, with each track serving up a delicious concoction of toe-tapping rhythms and heartfelt lyrics. And let's not forget frontman John Sebastian's distinctive voice, which sounds like a cross between a hippie poet and a friendly neighbour.

Of course, no review of the Lovin' Spoonful would be complete without mentioning their iconic hit "Summer in the City." With its sizzling guitar riffs and cool-as-ice vocals, this song is the epitome of summer cool. It's the kind of track that makes you want to roll down the car windows, crank up the volume, and cruise down the highway with the wind in your hair.

So, if you're looking for a dose of retro nostalgia with a side of catchy tunes, look no further than "The Very Best Of" by the Lovin' Spoonful. It's a musical feast for the ears that will leave you craving more.

About the artist

The Lovin' Spoonful

Ah, the Lovin Spoonful - the band that brought an infectious blend of rock, folk, and blues to the masses in the 1960s. Hailing from the bustling streets of New York City, this quartet of musical misfits captured the hearts of listeners with their catchy melodies and laid-back vibes. Led by the charismatic frontman John Sebastian, the Lovin Spoonful quickly rose to fame with hits like "Summer in the City" and "Do You Believe in Magic." With their breezy harmonies and foot-tapping rhythms, it's no wonder they became a staple on radio waves across the globe. But don't be fooled by their carefree persona - these guys were true musical innovators. Mixing traditional folk instruments with electric guitars and keyboards, they created a sound that was both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their influence can be heard in the works of countless artists to this day. With their signature blend of whimsy and rock'n'roll swagger, the Lovin Spoonful carved out a unique niche in the music world. Despite their short-lived career, their legacy lives on in the hearts of fans old and new. So grab your harmonica, put on your bell-bottoms, and take a trip back in time with the Lovin Spoonful - you won't regret it.
