Cross the Shirelles with the Raincoats and you get something like Dolly Mixture. The story is that they were some punk rockers' girlfriends who thought it'd fun to form a band. If that's true, they quickly evolved into fine tunesmiths in their own right. They even picked up some instrumental chops before they were done. I'd say they've got about a dozen tracks that coulda shoulda woulda been radio hits. Seriously, tambourine and glockenspiel together = pop magic. Here's my favorite. Quite likely to turn heads at whatever Memorial Day barbecue you find yourself attending.Dolly Mixture - Remember This
