“In addition to folk and rock, jug band music (particularly Jim Kweskin’s band) was a key influence on the group, and very evident on the debut hit. ‘The element that they brought that was different from other folk influences was that they tended to not only put a lighthearted spin on their music, but they also adapted really odd instruments to use in the studio,’ Steve Boone told Richie Unterberger in Turn! Turn! Turn! The ‘60s Folk-Rock Revolution. ‘We were one of the few folk-rock bands that played on all our records…no studio musicians involved’” (Steve Sullivan, Encyclopedia of Great Popular Recordings, 2013).
