4.0 out of 5 stars About time... 31 Mar 2003
By Acker Bilk
Format:Audio CD
I bought this on vinyl in a junk shop about 10 years ago and it's been a fave ever since. Best listened to on a beach I find. If you like 60's guitar music you shouldn't be disappointed.

The Spoonful at their very best giving us all a memory of how good it was to be young in the 60's.
Lovin' You, Bes Fiends and Darlin' Companion are enough evidence for John Sebastian's genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally this glorious gem reappears! 20 Feb 2003
By MurrayTheCat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
After a strangely long absence from the catalog, the glorious HUMS OF THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL is back. This masterpiece of wit--rich with variety--is delightful by turns. This album was the band's third, released late in 1966, and remains one of the best from that year (a year that yielded many great records). It does have its share of hits: "Darlin' Companion," "Rain On The Roof," "Nashville Cats" and "Summer In The City" all are known commodities...fantastic songs of musical diversity, imagination, charm and good taste. That description sums up this band in general; they combined musical styles to produce something wonderfully unique. Their songs are simple, but not simplistic. They're interesting and colorful...utterly enjoyable. They make me smile, no, beam from ear to ear.

Still, to this day, John Sebastian's voice is one of the most comforting sounds I know. From the first notes of "Lovin' You," the music will warm you and make you grin. "Coconut Grove" is one of the most deliciously dreamy songs you'll ever hear. The Spoonful could have fun, sometimes to the point of being silly, but they always remained consummately artistic at the same time. "Henry Thomas" is an example of that: stomping, bluegrass-like, with its perfectly appropriate use of a slide whistle. The lyrics are hilarious. "4 Eyes" (a particularly witty tune about the plight of wearing glasses as a youngster) is a masterpiece of humor. The marvelously bizarre "Voodoo In My Basement" is proof that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing that Zal was from outer space. (Love Zal!) And, this time around, we get bonus cuts. They are not earth-shattering, but always nice to have. Certainly, the price is right.

If you're a Spoonful fan, this album is a must. If you love the 60s, this album is a must. Heck, just get this.

Cheers and happy listening,
Murray

5.0 out of 5 stars You can Hum every classic tune 9 Mar 2003
By Wayne Klein - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It didn't get any better than this for the Spoonful. The late great Zal was shortly to leave (or be fired depending on what you read)for narcing on his pot dealer (it was either that or face being deported and possible jail time). Sebastian's originals were about as strong as they would ever be. Summer In The City, while the stand out cut and hit single, was only the tip of the iceberg. Voodoo In My Basement had the slightly off-kilter lazy day melody that was always so memorable; the witty paen to Tennessee session players Nashville Cats captures the feel of country music without imitating its cliches; Coconut Groove was the album's secret weapon. It's sly melody and witty lyric would be echoed and have an impact on other musicians (most notably Harry Nilsson).

The bonus cuts are icing on the delicious cake. There's nothing as interesting as on the previous reissues but that's not the point really; the bonus tracks provide fans a glimpse into the band's creative world.

If it was all downhill from here (and it was despite some wonderful moments on the underrated Everything's Playing), Hums was the original incarnation's Cody Jarret moment; Yep Ma, they were top of the world for a brief, brilliant and shining moment.
Thanks guys for such a marvelous album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the spoonful 10 Mar 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Flashback to the summer of 1968: I just discovered Hums of the Loving Spoonful in my sister's collection of LPs. She was away, and it's a good thing too, for I played it over and over. Rain on the Roof, Coconut Grove, Summer in the City, and Lovin' You are all pure gems. These are the songs of a simpler time, of a better time. They are still playing in my mind.

When I hear the Lovin' Spoonful, I think of lazy summer days in the country. I captured that feeling again a few years ago while traveling among the vineyards of western New York in late summer. Thank you Lovin Spoonful!
