Dr. Hook Album: “Dr. Hook Collections”

This collection of Dr Hook's hits is always interesting and does contain a few gems, like the sublime Sylvia's Mother, a series of telephone conversations between a jilted lover and his unfaithful girlfriends mom, with a lovely melody and soulful vocals. There's also the ironic Cover Of The Rolling Stone (I'm not sure the band ever made it there?) and a couple of other memorable tunes, like Makin' It Natural and Life Ain't Easy. They never made rock history, but Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show's small contribution to 1970s rock will be cherished by the nostalgists among us, if only for Sylvia's Mother.
