Dr. Hook Album: “I Got Stoned and I Missed It: The Best from Shel Silverstein 1971-1979”

Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show first became associated with Shel Silverstein when they recorded two songs for the soundtrack to

, which Silverstein wrote the music for. After that, Shel started writing the majority of songs for their albums (for a while). Many of the songs were humorous, but Shel wrote several "straight" songs for them, too. As the years went by, the group started writing more of their own material and they used less and less of Shel's songs. This is a very good collection of the "best" Silverstein songs recorded by Dr. Hook.

The best of Shel Silverstein. He drew for playboy, he wrote & drew many childrens books, and wrote many Dr. Hook songs.Even if you aren't a fan of Dr. Hook music you still can't beat the lyrics. He is witty & creative with few to compare by.

dr hook was only the greatest, most versatile group of their century. they seemed to play anything well, from dope to love songs, and the love songs were always from the heart. no other group has ever come close to their talents. its a shame that they had to break up. i too this day still go and see dr hook featuring ray sawyer whenever they play, and at their age, they still rock.

It is probably a great CD but sence I don't know what is on it I can't say. Discriptions of a CD should indlude the list of songs on the CD.
