Dr. Hook And The Medicine Show was a pop-country-rock band from New Jersey that scored hits in the early 1970s that were written by poet Shel Silverstein, such as "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover Of "Rolling Stone" and "Carry Me, Carrie". The band name was inspired by the traveling medicine shows of the old Wild West and singer Tom Sawyer's eye patch that reminded him of Captain Hook from the Peter Pan story. After the band switched to a new record company in 1976, they shortened their name to Dr. Hook. This second round again produced big hits, including "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman", "A Little Bit More" and "Sharing The Night Together". Dr. Hook continued to exist until 1985, after Tom Sawyer left the band two years earlier. All their hits and many more are on this beautiful overview on 180 gram vinyl.
