Dr Hook and the Medicine show (as they were originally named) combined country and rock music with a dash of humor. They began with a major international hit, Sylvia's mother, which was about a man pleading over the telephone to be allowed to speak to Sylvia, hoping that she would come back to him, but her mother wouldn't let him. Another notable songs from their Medicine show period is Cover of the Rolling stone (about the front cover of a magazine).
After shortening their name to Dr Hook, they released their strongest album (A little bit more) and had a major international hit with the title track. Other major hits followed including If not you, More like the movies, When you're in love with a beautiful woman, Better love next time and Sexy eyes.
This compilation includes all their UK hits and several other interesting songs. If you enjoy seventies pop-country music with a bit of humor, you might enjoy this.
