Biography
The Holy Mackerel was an American psychedelic pop band formed in 1968 in Los Angeles. Songwriter Paul Williams created them as a studio venture alongside his brother Mentor Williams, Bob Harvey, George Hiller, Cynthia Fitzpatrick, and Don Murray. During the development of their debut recordings, Harvey was replaced by Jerry Scheff, and Murray was replaced by Dewey Martin and Michael Cannon. The group recorded their self-titled studio album The Holy Mackerel (1968), which featured a blend of country rock, blues, and psychedelia. Although the record included tracks such as âThe Golden Ghost of Loveâ (1968) and âWildflowersâ (1968), it failed to chart nationally and three associated singles were commercially unsuccessful. The ensemble disbanded several months before the album's release in November 1968. Williams subsequently achieved success writing songs for the Carpenters and Three Dog Night. The band's work was later reissued as a deluxe edition in 2010 featuring bonus tracks.
