The Mugwumps were a Greenwich Village group known far more for who was in the band than for their only LP. Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty become half of the Mamas and the Papas, while John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky became half of the Lovin’ Spoonful. The fifth member, Jim Hendricks, wrote this song and “Summer Rain” for Johnny Rivers. Jim also wrote “Long Lonesome Highway,” theme song for the 70’s TV show “Then Came Bronson.” Some great bass lines during the intro and outro - sounds like Joe Osborn of the Wrecking Crew to my semi-trained ear.
