Mungo Jerry (1971) Coming Back to You - LOST 70s GEMS


Electronically Tested is Mungo Jerry's sophomore effort, continuing in their jug band blues folksiness full of Dylan harmonica, honky tonk piano, kazoos and Ray Dorset's minstrel vocals. She Rowed has a solid rock n roll groove complete with soaring lead vocals and a countrified solo, Baby Jump is a raucous, hideous blues rocker full of grubby details and a muddy vocal by Dorset. Follow Me Down's pastoral lyrics and Carribean pop vibe are melodic while Memories of a Stockbroker features Native American flute, vibrant barroom piano and a wistful vocal. But best is saved for the last track, Coming Back to You; a cheery farewell song with a poppy vocal
