Great moments in obscure “classic” rock ‘n’ roll albums: Spooky Tooth, “Spooky Two,” 1969

For the next couple of months, I will feature some great, but largely forgotten, rock albums from the “classic” era of rock ‘n’ roll (i.e., the era indebted to the American blues). First up is a British rock band, formed in 1967, with one American (Gary Wright, later of “Dream Weaver” fame in the 1970s), Spooky Tooth. Their second album from 1969 (and the last with the original lineup, including bassist Greg Ridley, who afterwards joined Humble Pie) is a real gem, perhaps best-known these days because Judas Priest covered the song “Better By You, Better Than Me” in the 1970s. But do listen to their version of “Evil Woman,” as well as originals like “Feelin’ Bad,” “Hangman Hang My Shell on a Tree,” and “That Was Only Yesterday.” The full album is here. Feel free to add links to other favorite Spooky Tooth songs in the comments.
