Although best known for just three key songs during the British Invasion era of the 1960s, The Zombies have earned their place in the top tier of that movement, and have staying power because of the unusual depth and timelessness of "She's Not There," "Tell Her No," and "Time Of The Season."

Vocalist Colin Blunstone and keyboardist Rod Argent recently joined me in Studio A to play a couple of songs from their new album, Still Got That Hunger, and a classic Zombies track too. I talked with the band about their glory days and their seminal progressive concept album, Odessey And Oracle, which they perform as a complete set piece in their live act. Also, we discuss the song from that collection that has become a rock standard.
