Music reviews of Daydream
Music Review: "And the Doctor said Give Metamorpho Jug Band 4 Stars
People. My spirit guides have now transported yours truly to the year 1966! Wow! It's different here! No downsizing, people are appreciated, new and different creative music abounds. The Beatles are changing the music scene. Ahh.The Animals.....The Yardbirds.....The Byrds! Yes. Now that I'm here, I do not want to go back to 2006. Music is overly polished and too technical there. Give me good production with real instruments.Forgive me people.....Metamorpho can be a chatterbox at times. But, the point is, that this is a review about a wonderful group by the name of Lovin' Spoonful who gave credibility back to America after the British Invasion.
Daydream is a lush, wonderous pop-rock-jug band offering from this incredible 60's group. What type of music is it exactly, you may ask? Well, they stirred up a number of genres with this (with a spoon, of course) and gave us all a beautiful blend of tunes. I hear folk music,Nashville influences, blues and rock mixed with, of all things, a hapsichord. John Sebastian created music with a new and interesting instrument heretofore unknown to the general public.
This music will make you happy, and it accomplishes this in a unique and experimental way. The themes are pretty straight forward. John's love is making him mellow in "Daydream". "There She Is" and "Warm Baby" are about other beauties. "It's Not Time Now" is a rare and interesting song lyrically because it deals so cleverly with disagreement. Not a topic that had been written much about before this. Some of the tunes are sweet or sentimental ie; "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" and "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice." Or straight ahead rockers ie; "Let the Boy Rock and Roll" and "Bald Headed Lena." And then, The Spoonful spoof themselves with the humourous "Jug Band Music".
This album is a rare and exceptional gem for it's time. It would make anyone who travelled back in time (like your Metamorpho) want to stay. The music is infectious,happy, a very good time. It is a rare moment of innocence in rock, before we moved to more curious and psychedelic themes. Before the War in Vietnam really started having dire consequences at home. So, be thankful for The Spoonful. They didn't stress your mind, they were fun to listen to, they were creative and talented musicians, and, most important of all, they were from the good ol' USA. I miss them. And it saddens me that their career was so short. So, I hope you people don't mind if I stay in 1966 awhile longer. LBJ is President, the summer of love is about a year away, and Metamorpho hasn't looked this young in ages! So, do yourselves a favor and get this happy gem. If not, then have your guides take you to meet me in 1966. - Signing off - from 40 years ago - happiness, light, and Love - your own Metamorpho.

Description of Daydream
Our Seller Notes and Fine Print Department ..:..This is from BMG like NEW very good shape....The Lovin' Spoonful was the first famous band this critic ever saw in concert, but back then I had no idea that their name came from a song by the great fingerpicking bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. The song "Jug Band Music" spoke to the folkie roots of the band's "good time music," but it was always John Sebastian's songs that set the band apart. "Daydream," with its hint of ragtime, was one of his very best tunes, with "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" not far behind. "Didn't Want to Have to Do It" suggested that even with the Spoonful, all the times weren't good. But frankly, if this is going to be your only Spoonful collection, go for the anthology of the band's hits. --John Milward
