The band is billed here as "the Lovin' Spoonful Featuring Joe Butler." Just when everybody had written them off after Sebastian's departure, this flawed gem came out of left field. Butler's
smooth voice had graced a few tracks on all of the past LPs, in
addition to having a few of his own tunes included. He comes into his
own here, but unfortunately, his three originals are the weakest songs
on the LP, especially the ultra-hip sound collage "War Games.
" However,
the great pop team of Bonner and Gordon came up with three strong tunes,
including the hit "Me About You" (previously done by The Turtles) and the fine "(Till I) Run with You" (the title of the LP as written on the label), with John Stewart supplying the best track, the gorgeous "Never Going Back."
Okay, here is the last of the five records from the ''Spoonful'' box.
Kind regards
