In The Summertime is a 1970 album recorded by Mungo Jerry. It contains their biggest hit, "In the Summertime" and its B-side, "Mighty Man". Also included are the country hits, San Francisco Bay Blues recorded in 1954 by Jesse Fuller, Arthur Gunter's Baby Let's Play House, also from 1954 and Woody Guthrie's Dust Pneumonia Blues which also appeared on the B-side of "In the Summertime". All other tracks were composed by Mungo Jerry's lead singer, Ray Dorset on his own or with fellow band members, Paul King, Colin Earl and Mike Cole. The album was released in Canada in 1970 with 12 of the above tracks with a different running order.



The title-track is still one of the most beguiling (if casually sexist) hits of its era, but the other 14 songs are even more interesting: Jesse Fuller-influenced jug band ("San Francisco Bay Blues," "See Me") and Tampa Red-style kazoo blues ("Maggie"), as well as the influence of Piano Red ("Mighty Man") and credible instrumental blues-rock ("Mother Fucker Boogie"). The hit "Johnny B. Badde" is here, and the band also covers rock & roll standards like "Baby Let's Play House," done in a surprisingly authentic manner for 1970. One of the CD reissue's two bonus tracks, "Tramp," busts up the mood a bit, with its fiddle accompaniment and a decidedly mournful tone, but the other, the hard-driving Howlin' Wolf-style "Mungo's Blues," which offers a tastefully lean Hubert Sumlin-influenced guitar solo, fits in perfectly with the existing album. The transfers are clean and bright, and the annotation is extensive.
