Critic preview: A studio wizard almost on par with Brian Wilson, John Phillips recording sessions for The Mamas and The Papas' greatest songs were nearly unprecedented for the time – often 16 tracks deep, complex, dense, and grueling to record. And yet, they sound so effortless – something so soaring and angelic can’t be so arduous, so taxing, can it? The Mamas and the Papas were one of those rare convergences in music where everything fell exactly into its right place, everything worked perfectly, and the result was a canon of songs that will remain immortal.
