About Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show
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.
