The Cowsills are following their chart excursion on "Indian Lake" with "Poor Baby" (K-13981), a sure shot successor to their three previous Top 10 singles on MGM. Their latest MGM album, "
Captain Sad and His Ship of Fools" (SE-4554), finds the group sailing into significant new musical dimensions - and going full-steam-ahead up the album charts again.

Album Reviews
CAPTAIN SAID & HIS SHIP OF FOOLS-The Cowsills. MGM SE 4554 (S)
The Cowsills continue to display their ability to progress musically as well as commercially. The group pegs this album on a fantasy theme. Each of the Rhode Island family solos on a collection of well-produced tunes. And the group numbers, including the hit, "Indian Lake," and the title tune, excel.
