Music And Records: The Lovin’ Spoonful
Some great music happening this weekend around our united states of merry-ka. While my mates from WNEW head to Mitch-igan for the Rothbury Festival to catch everyone and his brother, I’m staying on the beautiful west coast to catch everyone and his sister at the Waterfront Blues Festival.
Tops on my list: Isaac Hayes, Eric Linden, Elvin Bishop, Ruthie Foster, Charlie Musselwhite, Back Door Slam and Rory Block. I’ll be posting for both WNEW and Fusion 45, so keep your ears open for some grooves from the waterfront.
In the meantime, here’s a dirty little blues number from the band that was formed while hanging with Mama Cass watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. They also, supposedly, inspired the Grateful Dead to go electric.
