Spooky Tooth Artist Snapshot:

Originally a blues rock band in the vein of Sawyer Brown and others, Spooky Tooth evolved into a major prog-rock act by their heyday in the mid 1970s. The band released just over an album a year from 1968 to 1974, despite undergoing numerous personnel changes over that relatively short period of time (with founding member Gary Wright leaving, and eventually scoring a huge hit with the spacey slow-dance classic "Dream Weaver"). The original lineup reunited in the late 1990s,and again in the early 2000s, to record and perform live.

Title Note

Four of the 13 tracks on Island's The Best of Spooky Tooth come from 1969's Spooky Two album, while the remaining tracks represent the band's less celebrated material. Spooky Tooth's mellow, easy blues-rock sound is experienced from the first track, a slick rendition of John D. Loudermilk's "Tobacco Road." Most of the band's peak material is included here, like "Better by You, Better by Me" and "Evil Woman." The dreamy, psychedelic-tinged "It's All About a Roundabout" is one of the album's best songs, proving the band could be adventurous at will. Much in the same manner is "As Long as the World Keeps Changing," with its hippie-like hallucinatory feel. Versions of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" and the Band's "The Weight" are covered peculiarly, but not terribly, chock full of Spooky Tooth's own laid-back formula. Missed is the greyish "Hangman Hang My Shell on a Tree" from Spooky Two, which would have made a nice addition to the set. Nevertheless, this best-of does present listeners with Spooky Tooth's most worthwhile songs. The band's unconventional sound and eased style is prevalent on each of the tracks offered here. ~ Mike DeGagne
