Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mutual Admiration Society formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s with Jimbo Mathus on vocals and guitar, Andrew Bird on violin, and Jack Mingo and Kevin Pate on bass and drums. Their song "There Comes A Time" became their most recognizable track.
In 1996 they released an album called "The Great American Mutiny," which included a title track that drew criticism from some listeners. The band kept playing despite the reaction to that material.
They blended folk and blues with more experimental approaches, with Mathus and Bird handling most of the songwriting. The group's recordings show them working through those styles without settling into one category.
