Get Groovy Y'all

Without a doubt, On The Groovy Side is one of my absolute favorite Lennon Sisters albums. It's chock-a-block full of peppy pop tunes. Okay, back in 1967 the word "groovy" wasn't exactly synonymous with The Lennon Sisters, but with this lp the girls proved they could put their glorious harmonies on songs of the day and sound contemporary and fun. And groovy, of course!

Since I wanted to enjoy my vinyl collection without being attached to a turntable, I went to Circuit City and bought one of those players that lets you easily transfer old records to your pc. Now I can listen to this fun album wherever I want. Woot! I've uploaded all the tunes - click here and enjoy.


The above album cover is the re-released Ranwood version - it originally came out on the Dot label.

Highlights for me are Up, Up, And Away, Never My Love and Sunny. I love the opening horns on I Will Wait For You - I can't help but do my goofy, sixties dance. Shut up. The grooviness gets to me y'all.

This album also has Kathy's version of Ode To Billy Joe, which I wrote about earlier. I'm probably just way too much of a Bobbie Gentry fan to be objective about this song. I wonder what other Lennon fans think of Kathy's version.

Happy listening!
