This review is from: Sit Down It's the Mojo Men (Audio CD)

Ahh the mid 1960's. This C.D. captures something very unique. The Mojo Men evolved from a rather boring "dance with me" sock hop type band into a very unique folk rock harmony whirrling music box of a group. The main change was first when Jan Errico joined the group after leaving another group called The Vejtables.(Errico was reportedly chosen over Grace Slick to join the group)Then while he was on his lunch break from working on the Beach Boys mystery "smile," Van Dyke Parks took the reigns on the groups vocal and musical arrangements<think tack pianos,accordions,and ballalikas. "Sit down, I think I love you" is one of the most interesting and complex arrangements out of the 1960s. Another gem is the best ever version of "Me about you." Although the song was also recorded by the Turtles and later The Lovin'Spoonful, the combination of the bands vocal harmonies and arrangements by Van Dyke Parks makes their version of the song superior to the rest. The best way to sum it up is folk/art rock like the Mamas and the Papas meet Yes.
