The Golliwogs: Pre-Creedence
Tom Nolan, Phonograph Record, April 1975
BLUESY ROCKIN' quartet from El Cerrito makes debut with this derivative but infectious disc of baker's-dozen-plus-one tunes. Opener, Don't Tell Me No Lies, will appeal to Dave Clark fans, while Little Girl has that surf-ballad feel.
