The Birth of The Lovin’ Spoonful: Erik Jacobsen’s Journey

Описание: Erik Jacobsen takes us deep inside the creation of The Lovin’ Spoonful, their early days in Greenwich Village, and the rise of Do You Believe in Magic. From forming the band and struggling with record labels, and finally breaking through with hit after hit, Erik shares an unforgettable firsthand account of the 1960s folk-rock explosion.

Along the way, Erik recalls working with Tim Hardin, The Charlatans, and Sopwith Camel, the first hitmakers of the San Francisco music scene. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories about meeting John Lennon, George Harrison, and Brian Jones during wild nights in London.

This is a rare insider’s look at the birth of American folk-rock and the cultural revolution of the ’60s.
