I have a new batch of reviews this week, and hopefully a big surprise toward the end of the week. This weekend as I gathered some old CDs, I found a moldy old gem that I originally heard this on the “Nuggets” box set several years ago. After checking the web for information on this group I recently found out the identity of “Lyme” — the male half of Lyme & Cybelle was in fact Warren Zevon. This is a great mid 60’s pop track, shades of The Monkees “Last Train to Clarksville” with it’s own psyche-pop touches. Fans of Warren Zevon will have to listen very closely to detect any traces of that famous “Werewolves of London” voice. The record was actually a minor hit (Top 100, though it made into the Top 10 in some West Coast markets). They duo recorded a couple of 45s, though on some of the later ones Zevon is gone with Wayne Erwin taking his place. Thanks for the IronLeg blog for this tasty tidbit of trivia – and a cool obscure song!
