When The Mamas And The Papas were on, there was no one else like them. Their vocals were just astounding…the arrangements by John Phillips were stunning, and they did things with their voices that no one else was even close to doing. This is their debut album, from 1966. John and Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliott made some of the most memorable folk pop of the rock era. The songs were great…but the real power of this group was in the vocal arrangements. They took the music world by storm with stunning tracks like “California Dreamin’”, “Monday, Monday”, “Go Where You Wanna Go”, and “Got A Feelin’”. There was nothing else like them…and there was nothing in music quite like the powerhouse voice of Mama Cass, either.

There’s also a wonderful cover of The Beatles’ “I Call Your Name”, but after that, the songs start getting thin. Even with that, this album still rates highly, simply because those vocals, even on the weaker songs, are something really special. This group broke up in 1968, but their importance to what the late sixties was musically cannot be overstated. This was one special group, with a phenomenally special sound that still stands up to this day. You’ll be able to overlook weaker songs like “Somebody Groovy” and “Hey Girl”, along with some covers that may not have been best for them…you can overlook those things because the performances are just outstanding. A really fine album. [First added to this chart: 05/10/2024]
