SPINNING WHEEL

Found in a record store for 50 cents! Can't beat that price. A blast from the past single from 1968. Contained here is the megahit SPINNING WHEEL as well as the minor hit MORE AND MORE. Both are excellent tunes that date back to 1968. Neither is truly progressive in the standard sense, but more in the way Chicago or Steely Dan are progressive. None the less, SPINNING WHEEL is a classic song of the 60's an still sounds great after 40 years have gone by. The flip side, MORE AND MORE, is more of a bluesy, jumping, funky, kind of tune. Typical backing horns for Blood, Sweat, and Tears on both of the songs. While this is not essential by any means due to the fact that these can be found on the original album or on complilations, they are still fine songs deserving of 3 stars. Nice to hear these after so much time has passed.
