The Mugwumps - The Mugwumps 1967

The Mugwumps sole album -- not issued until well after the principal members had achieved fame in other groups -- is a quilt of pop, folk-rock, and R&B tunes with an awkward, unfinished feel. A glimmer of the folk-rock that would flower in 1965-1966 is evident in the tender ballad "Here It Is Another Day," an Elliot-Hendricks original. But the covers of the Coasters and Bo Diddley are substandard, and some of the other tracks are uneasy collisions of New York pop and Merseybeat. There's not much evidence to indicate the Mugwumps would have developed into anything special, though it has its historical interest, particularly to fans of the Lovin' Spoonful and the Mamas & the Papas.
