Cross Country (band)

Cross Country is a band from Brooklyn, New York. The folk rock band was formed as a side project of The Tokens and featured three of its members: Jay Siegel, Mitch Margo and Phil Margo.
The group released one self-titled album on the Atco Records label featuring a top 40 cover of Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour". The Cross Country version is altogether different from Pickett's 1965 soul hit. The first two minutes of the Cross Country single is considerably slower with an acoustic backdrop, picking up a bit with some psychedelic touches in the last third of the track which is a little over three minutes in length (3:14). This single reached #30 in the U.S. in fall 1973.
