Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen were equally adept at stripped-down basic rock & roll, R&B, and gritty country-rock. Commander Cody's country-rock rocked harder than the Eagles or Poco -- essentially, the group was a bar band. Much like English pub rock bands like Brinsley Schwarz and Ducks Deluxe, Commander Cody resisted the overblown and bombastic trends of early-'70s rock, preferring a basic, no-frills approach. Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen never had the impact of the British pub rockers, yet their straightforward energy gave their records a distinguishing drive; they could play country, Western swing, rockabilly, and R&B, and it all sounded convincing.

The group originally formed in 1967 in Ann Arbor, MI; Commander Cody (born George Frayne IV; piano), John Tichy (lead guitar), Steve Schwartz (guitar), Don Davis (bass), Don Bolton (aka the West Virginia Creeper; pedal steel guitar), and Ralph Mallory (drums) formed the original lineup. When the group relocated to San Francisco the following year, only Frayne, Bolton, and Tichy made the move; the group's membership included Billy C. Farlowe (vocals, harp), Andy Stein (fiddle, saxophone), guitarist Billy Kirchen, bassist "Buffalo" Bruce Barlow, and drummer Lance Dickerson at the time of their 1971 debut album, Lost in the Ozone. The following year the group scored a fluke Top Ten hit with "Hot Rod Lincoln," taken from their first album, Lost in the Ozone. Commander Cody was never able to capitalize on the single's success, partially because their albums never completely captured their live energy. They continued to release albums until Tichy left the band in 1976. Commander Cody released his first solo album, Midnight Man, in 1977, then he re-formed the group as the Commander Cody Band. The group recorded three albums between 1977 and 1980.

The Guess Who ~ "The Answer"...This is "The Answer" which features the original group's lineup post Chad Allen:
They are Burton Cummings (vocals piano, keyboards,guitar,flute), Randy Bachman (guitar), Garry Peterson (drums) and Jim Kale (bass guitar).

Scrubbaloe Caine - "Feelin' Good On Sunday"...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNS1tyMmVjQ

...Scrubbaloe Caine was formed when Al Foreman, Jim Harmata, and Bob Kidd drove to Calgary from Vancouver to hook up with Paul Dean and Henry Small. The five auditioned numerous drummers before settling on Bill McBeth, who had worked with Dean in the band Canada.

The six members worked under the name of Cannonball in the formative stages, playing venues in Calgary, Winnipeg, and Quebec City. It was while the band was in Winnipeg that Don Hunter, the Guess Who's manager, became interested in the group. Hunter sent out Kale (who had been released from the Guess Who) to Quebec to check on the band's progress. At the time, the band had been playing steadily at the Electric Circle in Quebec City. Kale was impressed, and gave Hunter a good report. Some time later, Bob Kidd's bass playing was not strong enough, and he was let go. The band soon asked Kale to join the band.

They band released singles from their debut album in 1973 and 1974 but to little success. Plans for release of a second album, tentatively titled 'Street Level', never materialized. The band split up in debt and far from home - Toronto - in 1976.

Dean moved back to Calgary and joined The Great Canadian River Race which eventually evolved into Streetheart. Dean would later team up with Moxy drummer Matt Frenette and vocalist Mike Reno to form Loverboy; Henry Small formed Small Wonder who had two albums on CBS before joining Burton Cummings' touring band. This was followed by a stint as the new lead singer for Prism following the death of Ron Tabak in the early '80s. He also wrote material for Eddie Money and was a member of Who bassist John Entwhisle's band The Rock. In 2000 Small was the morning radio voice for CIFM in Kamloops and was playing in a band called The Shift who released a CD entitled 'Out Of The Darkness' in 1999. A proper Henry Small solo album called 'Time' was released in the spring of 2002. In recent years Small launched an advertising/jingle company with Gary Fridell called Small World Studios; Kale, who won the ownership of the name Guess Who, currently tours and records with former Guess Who drummer Garry Peterson; Kidd died in 2000.

Gemma Ray - "I'd Rather Go Blind"....a great new album of all covers, give a listen...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abysgt8qVUY

Post by **Buda** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:20 am

I'd do her but it's not really anything I hadn't heard before... is there really a unique female singer around nowadays or all these Sherly Crow wannabes who just grown up to be Avril Lagne or Gemma Ray now and do the same boring "I'm with a guitar, see me?" one-type thing? Gosh.. good, good def. not great but for what?!

Here's my answer to all these wanna-bees;
PJ Harvey - The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore
http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=obvOuQc ... re=related

oh and this one before I forgot
Jeff Buckley - Eternal Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM_jBD716Vo

..and not to hurt anyone's feelings but Roky Erickson is boring as hell.

Post by **jamestkirk** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:31 pm

Thanks for the Buckley, buda, and keep the good music coming Nicole.

Here is something from my favorite Scotsman, Jack Bruce-- "Harmony Row".
"FOLK SONG"...doesn't get any better. I love Jack Bruce.

Jack was the very essence of CREAM...Cream would not have been Cream
without him....and his solo works are even better!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1fvqPsbn7I

Have a listen....

( "Harmony Row" by Jack Bruce was named for the Glasgow tenement row
that Bruce grew up near. It was famous as the largest unbroken tenement
house-row in Europe; over one mile. It is gone now....but not forgotten?)

and here is an innovative jazzy piece...."Smiles and Grins" a wonderful live
version by Jack with a 20 year old Chris Spedding....nice intro.
