This off-shoot of McGuinness Flint, rechristened momentarily in the wake of
the departure of songwriting members Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle, left
behind one major cult item, Lo and Behold, the best album of Dylan covers
ever done by anyone. McGuinness Flint themselves played blues-based roots
rock, close in spirit to but less jazz-inspired than the group from which
Tom McGuinness had come, Manfred Mann; drummer Hughie Flint was an alumnus
of the lineup of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers that everyone heard, featuring
Eric Clapton. Dennis Coulson fronted the group vocally, and Dixie Dean
joined up on bass after Gallagher and Lyle's departure. They later became
known simply as McGuinness-Flint (Mark 2).
This is one of the finest records of its era (originally issued on DJM and
Sire) and, amazingly, as a record of cover versions, had lots of rock press
credibility as well. It should have fared about as well as the Hollies'
venture into Dylan territory, except that Coulson, Dean, McGuinness, Flint
were more suited to the Dylan material, and the Dylan songs they chose were
a deliberate effort to delve specifically into material that Dylan had not
released (as of that time) in any official versions - this was stuff that
was known either only as compositions, or from various white-label bootlegs
that were around then.
The result was a record as good as anything the Band ever turned in, a
gorgeous, haunting electric/acoustic mixture with impassioned vocals,
impeccable musicianship, and what were then revelations about some of
Dylan's best and least-known songs (remember, he was off the road then, and
releasing maybe an album a year).
