A veritable who's who of the 60s music scene, "Creeque Alley" details the beginnings of the seminal folk rock group The Mamas and The Papas. Born out of the ashes of The Mugwumps, the band went on to produce signature tunes such as "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday". For me, this story of music and success is their best tune, describing their formation as well as that of The Byrds, The Lovin' Spoonful, and several popular haunts of the time. Dig the live version embedded below to see them before their breakup(s), still young and having fun "leaving the folk music behind".
