    The 2024 "In Memoriam Fantasy Band" Discussion

    Here’s a special Epysode to tide you over until our next featured album. Every year Uncle Herff and I create a fantasy band with members who passed away in the most recent calendar year. Sadly, 2024 was another rough year for music fans as we lost so many wonderful musicians.  We will miss all these great artists immensely. The great jam in the sky just keeps getting bigger and bigger. RIP to all those we lost...your music will live on forever. -FJ ===ERRORS AND OMISSIONS=== In the wrap up at the end of our discussion, I mistakenly referred to Karl Wallinger as "Kurt" Wallinger.

    "Sussex", by Bent Wind

    Guests: Bent Wind band members Marty Roth and Ed Thomas. When the Beatles hit, bands started cropping up everywhere. Sure, the most successful groups came from the US or the UK, but that doesn't mean smaller countries weren't immune to "cool". Bands from these countries had a difficult time breaking through as they were on smaller labels, with smaller budgets and a reluctance from American radio at the time to take a chance on playing "outsider" music. As a result we have a ton of high quality albums that never achieved any level of commercial success at the time of their release, but now are considered classics. Bent Wind's "Sussex" falls into that category. In 1969 the Canadian band couldn't give them away. Now original copies fetch over $10,000. If you like your psych hard and heavy, this ramshackle album is going to be right up your alley.  I hope you enjoy Sussex as much as I do. -FJ ==LINKS== Email me your comments, questions and suggestions to farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com.

    "Psychedelic Lollipop" by The Blues Magoos

    Guest: Blues Magoos singer/guitarist Peppy Castro. At the tender age of 14, Peppy Castro was taught the famous E minor chord on an acoustic guitar. "The minute I played that chord, it was like the heavens opened up". He left home, dropped out of school and pursued a different path. A chance meeting introduces him to Ronnie Gilbert and Ralph Scala and the seeds for The Blues Magoos were planted. "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" is ubiquitous with 60's American garage/psych rock. It's two minutes of rock 'n' roll perfection. The rest of the Psychedelic Lollipop album proves that these guys - kids really - had some serious skill. The album is a mix of fantastic originals along with choice covers.  Sadly all momentum was lost when their first single from their follow up album was banned. One more fantastic album followed before band politics reared it's ugly head. What we are left with is some fantastic music highlighted by this killer album - a necessity for any collection. I hope you dig "Psychedelic Lollipop" as much as I do. -FJ ===LINKS=== Be a pal and support the show on Patreon.

    "Songs For The Gentle Man" by Bridget St. John

    Guest: Bridget St. John. When the most famous DJ in the world champions you and decides to open a record label specifically to record and market your music, well, you're doing something right. Bridget St. John's name may not be as widely known as some of her British folk contemporaries, but her music is deserving of attention for any fan of the genre. Recording her first three albums for John Peel's Dandelion label between 1969 and 1972 she released consistently high quality work, garnering excellent reviews. A fourth album followed for Chrysalis a couple years later and then...silience. Nothing for 20 years. After a long delay, she's back recording and touring again and sounding better than ever. Bridget recalls stories of meeting John Martyn, playing with Michael Chapman, recording demos at Al Stewart's house, hearing David Bowie's acetate of a famous song before it was released and being in an uncomfortable car ride with Jethro Tull when they fired Mick Abrahams.  It's a shame Bridget's work didn't find a wider audience as her songwriting and guitar skills are only outshined by her exquisite voice. I hope you dig Songs For The Gentle Man as much as I do. -FJ ==LINKS== Comments? Feedback? Suggestions? Email me: farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com Like this show?

    "Out Of Nowhere" by Henry Schifter

    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. -FJ ==LINKS== Sponsoring us on Patreon says "hey, I like listening to your show. I want to hear more".

    "20 Granite Creek" by Moby Grape

    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. Also, I reported that the band toured Europe after the release of 20 Granite Creek; this is incorrect. They toured there in 1969. ===LINKS=== We’d love your support on Patreon. We’re an independent show that relies on listener support to continue providing you more content. patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Follow us on our socials here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farmerjohnmusic/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@psychedelicrelicspodcast X @psychrelicss Send me an email: farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com I’ve also written an article about this album for Psychedelic Scene magazine.

    "Dragonfly" by Dragonfly

    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. -FJ ===LINKS=== Support us on Patreon here: patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Hey, follow us!
