LOVIN' SPOONFUL - Live At The Hotel Seville [USA pop, psychedelic 1999] Varèse Sarabande 302 065 995 2

 


Like many reunited bands from the '60s, the 1999 incarnation of the Lovin' Spoonful doesn't include all their original members. In this case, they're missing their most prominent member, lead vocalist/songwriter John Sebastian. Without him, the group has a different character, and they realize that. Wisely, they've decided not to replicate their classic folk-pop sound of the '60s, choosing instead to emphasize their folky roots, which is evident from Live at the Hotel Seville. Recorded in 1999, the album is an amiable concert performance, finding the Sebastian-less group running through hits and album tracks, meaning that there's everything from "Do You Believe in Magic" to "Never Goin' Back" and "Jugband Music." It's not a bad record, and diehard fans in a nostalgic mood will probably be reasonably charmed by it. 

Spoonful rules ok
