Tongue And Groove – Sidetrack (1969) featuring Lynne Hughes. US Psych Blues Group.

Tongue And Groove (Featuring, Lynne Hughes) Sidetrack Fontana 1969 As a trio, the group featured the talents of singer/keyboardist Michael Ferguson, vocalist Lynne Hughes, and lead guitarist Randy Lewis. Ferguson had been one of the original members of San Franciscos The Charlatans. Hughes started out as a Seattle-based folkie, but by the late 1960s was a barmaid working at the Virginia City, Nevada Red Dog Saloon where The Charlatans were working as a house band. Though not an official a band member, she occasionally accompanied the band on stage and ended up singing on a couple of their recording sessions. In the wake of a fight with their label over the release of a cover of Buffy St. Maries Codine as a single (Philips management balked out of fear the songs drug lyric would spur criticism ironic given it was an anti-drug song), Philips Records dropped The Charlatans from their recording contract. Ferguson subsequently bailed, forming Tongue and Groove with Hughes and Lewis.
