SPOOKY TOOTH 1ST LP ULTRA-RARE MONO PROMO US BELL RECORDS DEBUT 60'S PSYCHEDELIC ROCK
It's All About Review
by Jason Anderson
All Music.com
This full-length debut from British blues-rockers Spooky Tooth has a tone similar to Traffic with its psychedelic take on the influential pop and soul music of the '60s. A few cover tunes including Janis Ian's "Society's Child" and the Nashville Teens' "Tobacco Road" are included, but original songs like the soulful ballad "It Hurts You So" and "Bubbles" (with its Beach Boys sensibility) are the real standouts. The cheery, psychedelic "It's All About a Roundabout" is the catchiest number by far. On this dreamy cut, vocalist/keyboardist Gary Wright demonstrates some sharp melodic and compositional instincts. The album also featured their first charted single, "Sunshine Help Me." Although Spooky Tooth eventually became better-known for their straightforward blues-rock, the trippy pop of "It's All About . . ." counts as a career highlight for the group. Fans of late-'60s British rock are definitely advised to check out this impressive release.
