The Lovin' Spoonful - Hums of The Lovin' Spoonful (1966)

The Spoonful's third full-length. Pretty disparate stylistically, but their intention was to sound different each time they recorded on this joint, so, they succeeded. I'm not infused with scholarly knowledge about who initiated "country rock" when, but I'd be willing to wager that select cuts from this album were among the first with 'Nashville Cats,' (a genius tune that pops into my gulliver often), 'Lovin You,' et al. Also included is their biggest, 'Summer In The City.'

Up north there ain't nobody'll buy 'em I said 'but I will.'
