BLUES MAGOOS

RALPH, GEOFF, RONNIE, MIKE, PEPPY

Although they were really more a blues-rock band with a garage band's approach and intentions, the Bronx-based Blues Magoos emerged as an East Coast answer to the then-emerging San Francisco flower power psychedelic scene with the iconic single "(We Ain't) Got Nothing Yet" in 1966.

The Blues Magoos sound less like psychedelic visionaries than a solid garage band with a taste  for the blues on their debut album, Psychedelic Lollipop, though the lysergic reference of the  title certainly put them ahead of the curve in 1966, when LSD was still obscure enough to be  legal in much of the United States. The album leads off with the group's first and only major hit  single, "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet," and unlike most albums released by one-hit wonders of  the mid-'60s, the single isn't the most exciting song here. That honor goes to the Magoos' cover of  J.D. Loudermilk's "Tobacco Road" (which Lenny Kaye selected for his iconic garage rock compilation  Nuggets), featuring some gutsy guitar work from Mike Esposito and Emil "Peppy" Thielhelm  and impressive organ swells from Ralph Scala as the tune leans  into a major rave-up midway through...(AllMusic)
