EXTD= EXPERT REVIEW: Their third "real" album and their fourth in 13 m
EXTD=onths, is quieter than previous efforts. There are eleven Sebasti
EXTD=an originals, three of which became huge hits: "Summer in the Cit
EXTD=y," "You and Me and Rain on the Roof" (as it's called on the labe
EXTD=l), and "Nashville Cats," along with "Lovin' You," later a hit fo
EXTD=r Bobby Darin. The album also features tributes to Fred Neil ("Co
EXTD=conut Grove") and Howlin' Wolf ("Voodoo in My Basement"). -- Gary
EXTD= Mollica\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Having released two previous album
EXTD=s and a soundtrack, along with a stream of singles, over the prev
EXTD=ious 12 and a half months, the Lovin' Spoonful assembled their th
EXTD=ird regular studio LP, Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful, for release a
EXTD=round Thanksgiving 1966. It contained the group's chart-topping s
EXTD=ingle from the previous June, "Summer in the City," along with Se
EXTD=ptember's Top Ten hit "Rain on the Roof" (curiously titled "You a
EXTD=nd Me and Rain on the Roof" on the LP). Released simultaneously w
EXTD=ith the album and included on it were the two songs from the next
EXTD= single, "Nashville Cats," which became the band's seventh consec
EXTD=utive Top Ten entry, and "Full Measure," a B-side featuring drumm
EXTD=er Joe Butler on lead vocals that scraped into the singles chart.
EXTD= Those were the money songs, although Bobby Darin discovered the 
EXTD=leadoff track, "Lovin' You," and quickly covered it for a Top 40 
EXTD=hit, and the moody "Coconut Grove," a tribute to Fred Neil, would
EXTD= become a permanent part of Spoonful leader John Sebastian's repe
EXTD=rtoire in his solo career. An emphasis on the parts of the album 
EXTD=is a way of describing it as more a loose collection of disparate
EXTD= tracks than a unified effort, despite Sebastian's hand in all th
EXTD=e compositions and his lead vocals on most of them. This was by n
EXTD=ecessity, but also by design, since Sebastian and co. went into t
EXTD=he studio trying to sound completely different each time. They of
EXTD=ten succeeded: Except for the vocal similarity, the rock band pla
EXTD=ying "Summer in the City" and the caustic, autobiographical "4 Ey
EXTD=es" doesn't sound much like the country unit picking its way thro
EXTD=ugh "Lovin' You" and "Nashville Cats." Sebastian may have been an
EXTD= obvious New Yorker (those "yellow Sun records" were from Memphis
EXTD=, not Nashville), but that didn't keep him from expressing his mu
EXTD=sical passions effectively. The 2003 Sundazed LP reissue added fo
EXTD=ur demos, instrumental tracks, and alternate versions of songs fr
EXTD=om the album. The 2003 Buddah CD reissue added six demos, instrum
EXTD=ental tracks, and alternate versions of songs from the album.  --

EXTD=ime, May 8, 2007 \nBy  Mark Champion "autumnfair" (San Antonio, T
EXTD=X United States)\nMost of these tracks are so filled with whimsy 
EXTD=it's hard to take them seriously, but they are so seriously whims
EXTD=ical ("Bes' Friends," "Nashville Cats") that they bear repeated (
EXTD=and I mean repeated) listening. Sure, "Voodoo In My Basement" is 
EXTD=about voodoo in one's basement (really!), but the catcalls and to
EXTD=ms in the instrumental breaks are so arch that they render the wh
EXTD=ole idea as possible as a child might well convince you it is. Su
EXTD=re, "Henry Thomas" is in adoring affection for a pet dog (or is i
EXTD=t a cat?), but the whole idea that such a song exists for adult l
EXTD=istening (and this in 1966) suggests a seriously comic muse. And 
EXTD="Four Eyes," with its alternating time signatures and its "HA! HA
EXTD=! HA!" belie its whimsical tone. Likewise for "Coconut Grove" (pe
EXTD=rsonal fave) which is so summer-moody it will fill you with a lan
EXTD=guid lethargy that only the brilliant "Full Measure" will shake o
EXTD=ff. As for the bonus tracks - - I prefer the instrumental version
EXTD= of "Rain On The Roof" to the original as it allows more breathin
EXTD=g space for close listening, revealing just how textured a song i
EXTD=t is. "Full Measure" comes off as a great instrumental too. Just 
EXTD=know that these guys were so out of their time they still kick. I
EXTD= could go on, but I won't. \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nA

EXTD=2003 \nBy  Steve Vrana (Aurora, NE)\nThe Spoonful's third album (
EXTD=not counting the soundtrack LP to "What's Up, Tiger Lily?") is th
EXTD=e most satisfying of their all too short career. It was their fir
EXTD=st album of all original material and all of the songs were writt
EXTD=en or co-written by John Sebastian. These are all Spoonful classi
EXTD=cs and continue to reflect their wide range of influences: the ju
EXTD=gband sound of "Henry Thomas," the countrified "Darlin' Companion
EXTD=" and "Nasville Cats," the bluesy "Coconut Grove," the folk-influ
EXTD=enced "Lovin' You" and the contemporary sound of "Summer in the C
EXTD=ity." The consistent high quality of the material on this album i
EXTD=s all the more amazing when you realize this was their third albu

EXTD=(upstate New York)\nAfter a strangely long absence from the catal
EXTD=og, the glorious HUMS OF THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL is back. This master
EXTD=piece of wit--rich with variety--is delightful by turns. This alb
EXTD=um was the band's third, released late in 1966, and remains one o
EXTD=f the best from that year (a year that yielded many great records
EXTD=). It does have its share of hits: "Darlin' Companion," "Rain On 
EXTD=The Roof," "Nashville Cats" and "Summer In The City" all are know
EXTD=n commodities...fantastic songs of musical diversity, imagination
EXTD=, charm and good taste. That description sums up this band in gen
EXTD=eral; they combined musical styles to produce something wonderful
EXTD=ly unique. Their songs are simple, but not simplistic. They're in
EXTD=teresting and colorful...utterly enjoyable. They make me smile, n
EXTD=o, beam from ear to ear.\n\nStill, to this day, John Sebastian's 
EXTD=voice is one of the most comforting sounds I know. From the first
EXTD= notes of "Lovin' You," the music will warm you and make you grin
EXTD=. "Coconut Grove" is one of the most deliciously dreamy songs you
EXTD='ll ever hear. The Spoonful could have fun, sometimes to the poin
EXTD=t of being silly, but they always remained consummately artistic 
EXTD=at the same time. "Henry Thomas" is an example of that: stomping,
EXTD= bluegrass-like, with its perfectly appropriate use of a slide wh
EXTD=istle. The lyrics are hilarious. "4 Eyes" (a particularly witty t
EXTD=une about the plight of wearing glasses as a youngster) is a mast
EXTD=erpiece of humor. The marvelously bizarre "Voodoo In My Basement"
EXTD= is proof that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing that Zal was fro
EXTD=m outer space. (Love Zal!) And, this time around, we get bonus cu
EXTD=ts. They are not earth-shattering, but always nice to have. Certa
EXTD=inly, the price is right.\n\nIf you're a Spoonful fan, this album
