More Of Cake
crrev222What links New Orleans Maestro Harold Battiste, Dr. John, The Soft Machine, The Daily Flash, Tiny Tim, Jack Nitsche, Sonny and Cher, Traffic, Jimi Hendrix and Ginger Baker's Airforce? The Cake, the last of the classic girl groups, whose two 1967/68 albums are as they say a game of two (sometimes three!) halves, classic girl groupisms mixed with Baroque Pop, Wyrd Folk, Psychpop and club R&B, all with a wonderful good humour. Fans of the esoteric might care to know that Kevin Ayers' song "Eleanor's Cake Which Ate Her" is about the group, that they sang backing vocals on Electric Ladyland and the first Soft Machine album. Also Eleanor herself sang ‘I Got You Babe’ with Tiny Tim (backed by The Band) in the cult movie "You Are What You Eat". A wonderful snapshot of the Sunset Strip, with a wonderfully decadent atmosphere for three such innocent girls...you'll just love it! The Cake recently reformed to play the prestigious launch party for the forthcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic, and who knows – they may come to your town soon... Never previously on CD cult artists, wonderfully re-mastered by Mr. Nick Robbins and with gorgeous packaging featuring wonderful pictures provided by The Cake and legendary rock photographer Ed Caraeff.
