Right on the tails of the Beau Brummels and the Byrds, the Lovin' Spoonful
were among the first American groups to challenge the domination of the
British Invasion bands in the mid-'60s. Between mid-1965 and the end of
1967, the group was astonishingly successful, issuing one classic hit
single after another, including "Do You Believe in Magic?," "You Didn't
Have to Be So Nice," "Daydream," "Summer in the City," "Rain on the Roof,"
"Nashville Cats," and "Six O'Clock."
Having released two previous albums and a soundtrack, along with a stream
of singles, over the previous 12-and-a-half months, the Lovin' Spoonful
assembled their third regular studio LP, "Hums Of The Lovin' Spoonful", for
release around Thanksgiving 1966. It contained the group's chart-topping
single from the previous June, "Summer In The City," along with September's
Top Ten hit "Rain on the Roof" (curiously titled 'You and Me and Rain on
the Roof' on the LP). Released simultaneously with the album and included
on it were the two songs from the next single, "Nashville Cats," which
became the band's seventh consecutive Top Ten entry, and "Full Measure," a
B-side featuring drummer Joe Butler on lead vocals that scraped into the
singles chart. Those were the money songs, although Bobby Darin discovered
the leadoff track, "Lovin' You," and quickly covered it for a Top 40 hit,
and the moody "Coconut Grove," a tribute to Fred Neil, would become a
permanent part of Spoonful leader John Sebastian's repertoire in his solo
career.
An emphasis on the parts of the album is a way of describing it as more of
a loose collection of disparate tracks than a unified effort, despite
Sebastian's hand in all the compositions and his lead vocals on most of
them. This was by necessity, but also by design, since Sebastian and co.
went into the studio trying to sound completely different each time. They
often succeeded: except for the vocal similarity, the rock band playing
"Summer in the City" and the caustic, autobiographical "4 Eyes" doesn't
sound much like the country unit picking its way through "Lovin' You" and
"Nashville Cats." Sebastian may have been an obvious New Yorker (those
"yellow Sun records" were from Memphis, not Nashville), but that didn't
keep him from expressing his musical passions effectively.
2003 Buddha Records remaster including six previously unreleased bonus
tracks.
