Tongue & Groove Feat. Lynne Hughes (CD)
CD reissue of 1969 album. Tongue & Groove were something of an offshoot of the legendary, early San Francisco hippie group the Charlatans. Singer Lynne Hughes had occasionally sung with the Charlatans onstage in the mid-1960s (although she was never an official member), and even appears, on vocals and guitar, on a few cuts they recorded for Kama Sutra in 1966 (eventually seeing release on the CD compilation The Amazing Charlatans). Pianist Mike Ferguson, who occasionally sang lead with Tongue & Groove as well, was a bona fide original Charlatan, although he left by the time their one proper 1960s album was issued. Richard Olsen, another Charlatan, played bass on Tongue & Groove's one LP; Hughes and Ferguson wrote much of the material, and yet another ex-Charlatan, Dan Hicks, contributed one composition as well. Tongue & Groove's self-titled album, released in the late 1960s on Fontana, was produced by Abe "Voco" Kesh, who also worked with several other second-tier sixties Bay Area acts, such as Blue Cheer. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
