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)
