The Zombies - “Care of Cell 44”
Everything about the Zombies is emblematic of 60s pop music: the hair, the suits, the melodies, the harmonies, and especially the Mellotron … I tend to think The Zombies are one of the great, overlooked 60s British bands. This song, “Care of Cell 44”, is the lead-off track to The Zombies’ 1968 masterpiece Odyssey and Oracle, and is exactly what sunrises would sound like if sunrises made music.
