Mellow country-rock outfit Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show are best known for their 1972 novelty hit, the Shel Silverstein-penned "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'," though they were also a respectable chart presence throughout the 1970s. The New Jersey-via-Dixie band had a raucous biker-gang image that belied a surprisingly smooth, laid-back style, one that presaged the lite-rock and adult alternative sounds. The band managed to tough it out in the '80s, and maintained a solid career on the nostalgia circuit for years after. And for those curious, in March of 1973, the band did land on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Members of Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show include, or have included, Dennis Locorriere and Ray Sawyer.
