She is Still a Mystery
Performer: The Lovin' Spoonful
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Sony/BMG's PLAYLIST series features concise compilations of great American artists, sporting eco-friendly packaging and focusing on the work the artists have done for labels that fall under the Sony/BMG umbrella. Given the Lovin' Spoonful's short lifespan, this collection amounts to a career-spanning best-of, containing the sparkling pop dreams of "Do You Believe in Magic?" and "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice," the romantic balladry of "Darling Be Home Soon," and the gritty rock of "Summer in the City," spotlighting every side of this seminal New York band's sound.
Combining folk and jug-band music with exuberant, Beatles-influenced pop, the Lovin' Spoonful possessed one of the freshest sounds on the radio in the mid-1960s. Prime architects of the folk-rock genre, the group splintered after a short run of amazing albums and hit singles. Leader John Sebastian continued on as a solo artist in a more personal singer/songwriter vein. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Guitarist Zal Yanovsky passed away two years later, effectively ending any hopes of a full-scale reunion.
