Spoonful of sugar, April 6, 2002
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
A good collection to serve as a samplin' of the Spoonful. "Summer in the City" is a lively '60s classic, not the stereotyped political statement but an expression of youthful restlessness and a desire for action and experience. By contrast, "Do You Believe in Magic," a sparkling pop tune, captures youthful romanticism, the wholesome rock 'n roll spirit. The other gem is "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," with its lovely lyrics and great vocal harmonies. "Daydream" displays John Sebastian's abilities in a mellower, pensive atmosphere, and "Nashville Cats" is jaunty and fun. Indeed, like The Byrds, the Spoonful had that great mid-60s rhythmic and harmonic sound, usually structured, but they were less intense in their message, more cheerfully optimistic, and we need that sometimes.

No comment about this CD album it's the worst. Get the Anthology sixties rock'n'roll oldies collection for a better retrospective listening enjoyment of the history and music for your opinionyou'll know what I mean!
