The McCoys, “The Best of the McCoys,” Epic/Legacy. * 1/2
It’s incredible that a band capable of the 1965 hit single “Hang On Sloopy”--a buoyant pop-rock reworking of the Vibrations’ funky “My Girl Sloopy”--could do nothing else that was even half-decent. In this collection of mid-’60s pop tracks by this Midwestern teen band, the covers--”Fever” and “Come On Let’s Go”--are particularly dreadful.
