The Second Album

The Second Album is the second album by the British band the Spencer Davis Group, released in 1966. Many of the songs were a slightly experimental blend of beat, folk, jazz and blues. The album included the singles "Strong Love" (UK number 44) and Jackie Edwards' "Keep on Running" (which gave the group their first U.K. number 1). It also included the R&B standard "Georgia on My Mind". The album spent eighteen weeks on the U.K. album chart, peaking at number 3. While the album was not released in the US, the single "Keep on Running" was released in February, 1966, and spent four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart peaking at number 74 on March 12. Other tracks from this album were later released in the U.S. on various compilations of the band.

Although never released in America, all but four tracks ("Strong Love", "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water", "Since I Met You Baby", and "You Must Believe Me") were released on the group's American albums. "Strong Love" was released on compilation albums in Canada in 1967 and the US in 1984 respectively.
