Title: The Mugwumps
Artist: The Mugwumps

The Mugwumps: Zal, Denny, Jim, Cass.
The Mugwumps famously contained two future members of the Mamas & the Papas ("Mama" Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty) and one of the Lovin' Spoonful (Zal Yanofsky). Though their first and only album is a fairly innocuous mix of early-1960s pop and R&B, it does contains some obvious hints of its members' later musical directions in the confident and sophisticated harmonies of songs such as "Everybody's Been Talkin'" and "Here It Is Another Day."
The Mugwumps sole album -- not issued until well after the principal members had achieved fame in other groups -- is a quilt of pop, folk-rock, and R&B tunes with an awkward, unfinished feel. A glimmer of the folk-rock that would flower in 1965-1966 is evident in the tender ballad "Here It Is Another Day," an Elliot-Hendricks original. But the covers of the Coasters and Bo Diddley are substandard, and some of the other tracks are uneasy collisions of New York pop and Merseybeat. There's not much evidence to indicate the Mugwumps would have developed into anything special, though it has its historical interest, particularly to fans of the Lovin' Spoonful and the Mamas & the Papas. ~ Richie Unterberger
