  • EPYSODE 17: "Out Of Nowhere", by Henry Schifter

    EPYSODE 17: "Out Of Nowhere", by Henry Schifter
    Nov 6 2024

    Guest: Henry Schifter.

    Here we have yet another album by an one-and-done artist.

    Henry was an American guitarist who released a few singles with a few labels in the sixties. He finally got the opportunity to record a full-length album in 1971, though he had to go to France to do it.

    He recorded a strong album, and one that should have warranted some follow ups but it never came to pass.

    Henry shares some great stories about the recording of the album, his run-in with Johnny Rivers (spolier alert: he didn't like him) and a great tale that includes a great looking belt, a pistol and weed. What a rock and roll trifecta!

    I hope you enjoy "Out Of Nowhere" as much as I do.

  • EPYSODE 16: "20 Granite Creek", by Moby Grape

    EPYSODE 16: "20 Granite Creek", by Moby Grape
    Oct 25 2024
    Guest: Moby Grape drummer Don Stevenson. Of all the great 60’s bands that came from the San Francisco area, Moby Grape may have been the best. Their 1967 debut album stands tall among the other giants released that year. Bad luck, terrible management decisions and a record company gaffe for the ages derailed all their momentum (wait until you hear Don’s ‘record company executive’ impression!). By 1969 they had called it quits. But they got the itch to get back together and record a standout album in their discography...the rare “reunion album” that’s actually good. And what happened afterwards? “Well, nobody cared”, Don said laughingly. Take a trip with Don and I as we discuss the formation, the demise, the-reformation, the demise, the re-reformation...well, you get the idea - of one of the greatest bands of the 1960’s and as we dive into each track of this wonderful yet underrated gem. I hope you dig "20 Granite Creek" as much as I do. -FJ ===ERRORS & OMISSIONS=== In this Epysode, I attributed the song "Ode To The Man At The End Of The Bar" to Bob Mosley, when in fact it was actually written by his brother Andy. ===LINKS=== We’d love your support.

  • EPYSODE 15: "Dragonfly", by Dragonfly

    EPYSODE 15: "Dragonfly", by Dragonfly
    Oct 8 2024

    Guest: Dragonfly guitarist Randy Russ.

    Hooking up with a couple of managers from California, they thought they were on their way to the big time. But while the band was living off a $12/day allowance, the managers were getting their cars reupholstered and buying custom-made alligator briefcases.

    They released one album as The Legend - a mediocre effort of cover tunes and songs from outside musicians thanks to decisions made by the management team. For the second time out though, it was a different story. Given creative freedom, they created a monster, guitar-centric, psychy-blues/rock gem. But continued battles with management resulted in the band breaking up before the album was even released. The label decided to release it under a new name ("Dragonfly"), with no band information on the cover. And just after it was released, the record company closed shop. An album by a defunct band with no record company released in a sleeve with no band information was destined to sink without a trace. One fantastic review at the time wasn't enough to save this one from obscurity.

    If you like your 60's rock loud, hard and heavy, crank it up and check this one out.

    I hope you dig Dragonfly as much as I do.
