"Pipeline" became a number one single and rocketed the quintet out of Santa Ana and straight to national fame. They followed it up with a brace of singles, none of which saw even a shadow of the sales of "Pipeline," and also cut two albums, Pipeline and The Two Sides of the Chantays. Those were fine showcases for the group's strengths -- and a few weaknesses -- but made very little impact. Their repertoire was crowded with rock & roll covers and "Pipeline" sound-alikes, as well as some cutesy plays on the Shadows' sound of the same period, and none of their follow-up singles charted. Meanwhile, "Pipeline" not only got heavy radio play for years after it left the charts, but also entered the musical mainstream as a pop instrumental standard (in particular, television viewers who lived in the New York area during the early/mid-'60s may remember "Pipeline" being used almost weekly as background music whenever kids show host Chuck McCann would come out dressed as Ace Jackson, to read the "Smilin' Jack" comic strip on his Sunday television show Let's Have Fun.
Competent players who went heavy on the rumbling bass, ghostly reverb, and electric keyboards, the Chantays were very much a one-shot act. The group remained perennially popular on the nostalgia and oldies circuits, with new members coming in alongside of Carman and Spickard, and Welch subsequently rejoined. In 1994, the group released their first new album in over 30 years, called Next Set, and they followed it up in 1997 with Waiting for the Tide. As of 2005, the band was still working regularly. ~ Bruce Eder & Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

CHRIS KENNER request:
Happy Boxing Day and Happy St Stephen's Day. Where I am today is simply known as December 26. I was putting together a complete Chris Kenner folder based on several published sessionographies and discovered I am missing just one song. It is available on a CD that is going for 75 bucks which is not something I would consider doing for one song. If anyone has the CD: Chris Kenner - I Like It Like That - The Definitive Collection 1956-1968 and would like to share it, it would be most appreciated. Or, I'm just in need of the song SAD MISTAKE which was on a 1968 Instant single with Mini-Skirts And Soul. Thanks.
Hallo Ryp, ich habe eine Anfrage, weiß aber nicht ob dies der rechte Platz ist, weil es ja nichts mit Deinem posting zu tun hat. Wenn nicht, dann lösch' meine Anfrage einfach. Ansonsten beste Grüße aus'm Rheinland in's Ruhrgebeat.
Hello all you nice people here,this is probably a strange request for T/Z blog but i'm
looking for Shaun Cassidy stuff. It's ''Shaun Cassidy - s/t'' 1976,
''Born Late'' from 1977, ''Under Wraps'' 1978, ''Room Service'' 1979 and ''That's Rock 'n' Roll Live'' 1979. Your efforts would be much appreciated. I'm looking for ages but can't find. Okay, have a nice day
Greetings Frank
thanks for this

Happy holidays RYP and Gyro.
Thanks to RYP for adding a lot to my surf collection.
Thanks to Gyro for the new Folk-Psych comp.
Thankds to everyone at TZ for making this blog the coolest place on the internet.
A bit of musical history today. Thanks RYP.
In case anyone was wondering, the Bob Welch mentioned above is apparently not the same Bob Welch that played with Fleetwood Mac. His bio on Wikipedia makes no mention of the Chantays.
Thank you RIP and Gyro for another wonderful year of music and fun.
Here are a few expiring links.
ROBERT CRUMB is best known as a comic book artist and illustrator but he is also a musician with his feet solidly planted in old time jazz when the music was both accessible and unpretentious. With his band the Cheap Suit Serenaders we have two, the first is my rip at 320k and the second was found on the web (thank you original poster):

Also found on the web, a sampler of Robert's music with different musicians:

DWIGHT YOAKAM sings real country and has a great voice. Here are two early albums. My rips at 320k:

Gone (1995) http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/FnAiYA4P/file.html
TREAT HER RIGHT was a Boston band from the 80's/90's once described as 'not quite a blues band, not exactly swamp trash and too stylized for basic rock'n'roll' Whatever, but they sure rocked. This is their last recording. My rip at 320k.

GINGER ST. JAMES is a Canadian singer from Hamilton, Ont. Her music is a blend of rockabilly, country and rock & roll. This young woman is the total package as she also writes her songs. Someone to discover. Not my rips, 320k.

Hallo RYP,
The Chantays in den 90ern mit einem neuen Album, nie was von mitbekommen. Kennen tu ich von denen eigentlich auch nur 'Pipeline'. Das ist allerdings fantastisch. Jetzt hab ich mir gerade die ''neue'' Scheibe angehört und siehe da, klingt richtig gut und zwei neue Lieblingssongs habe ich auch noch gefunden mit 'Killer Dana' und 'Crystal-T', ganz abgesehen von der ebenfalls wunderbaren Unplugged-Version von 'Pipeline'. Großartig. Vielen Dank.
THE BLACK JETTS - SEVER THE SERPENTS HEAD BEFORE IT STRIKES (Rankoutsider Records 2008) @320
Their 3rd and 'til now last album.
When Gabe Stiff calls for some protective headgear, it's time to clear the kids from the room. 'You better strap your helmet on,' the Black Jetts frontman howls early on his band's 3rd and latest disc, Sever The Serpents Head Before it Strikes, one of the best albums to come out of Vegas in '08. Alive with slobberin' guitars, spine-tingling organ fills and lots of leering catcalls, this rock and soul powerhouse gets both fists and hips a shakin'. 'The line has been drawn, we are the solution,' Stiff thunders on Electric Revolution. 'And you're either with us or against us.' Count us among the former.
(https://www.amazon.com/Sever-Serpents-Head-Before-Strikes/dp/B001EGFUZ4)
The Black Jetts, four guys from Las Vegas, deliver with their third release a pure adrenalin, ass-kicking rock 'n' roll album. This is what rock'n'roll meant to be: slobberin' guitars, spine-tingling organ fills, danceable drum beats, ass shaking bass and a passionate, booze and cigarette soaked vocalist, there's even a freaky theremin ('Brothers & Sisters'). This rock'n'soul combo gets both fists and hips a shakin'. Enjoy.

Sorry, can't seem to find the '77 self titled album. If I eventually find it I'll post it.
CrazyLegs
Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah all -
Keep on keepin' on all the awesome music and conversation. Over the years Twilight Zone has evolved from being a simple sharity blog into a massive forum of diversified musical treats. Many thanks to you - RYP, Gyro1966, ElTel, and all of your guest posters adding fun, quality and diversity to the Zone mix. You have kept me sane and really added tremendous joy to my world and music collection. Many happy returns in the years to come.
BTW - I am the original poster of the R. Crumb discs ralph11 found on the net. The sampler of Robert's music with different musicians is the freebie found in one of his biographies - The Robert Crumb Handbook. A good sampler of his comics, bluesology, life and times.
It was through these that got me interested in the old tyme music of jug bands and the like.
Best
George W
Thanx Crazylegs For The Doo-Wop
Cheers
Tel
wish I could help with the Chris Kenner. I have a lot, but not that track. If you get it, a complete Kenner share would be great!
Thank you CrazyLegs. DooWop is always welcomed.

Thanks again,

@Anonymous: So they let you download music and listen to it at the nursing retirement home? Hmm, that will give me something to look forward to. As it is, working keeps getting in the way of listening to music.
Edward- That's why all the old farts just sit rocking in their chairs in the retirement homes...they've all had their hearing aids modified and are tuned in to Anons music. :-)
I too am an old'ish fart.
CrazyLegs
Great DooWop. Thanks Wayne
Our generation is the first one hearing Punk'n'Surf'n'Roll at retirement home (soon) :)
Hello Pubbi, many tks for the black jetts - much appreciated, regards - aoxomoxoa7
Dear RYP
Thanks for this album. I'm quite sure to have it , but if I'm wrong I prefer to DL it. Thanks again.
Dear Crazy Legs
Thanks for all these doo-wop albums.
Pipeline by the Chantays was originally released as a single on Downey records. The song was recorded at a small studio owned by Bill Wentzel, the proprieter of Wenzel's Music Town on Lakewood Blvd in Downey (home of Karen carpenter and The Blasters), California, which opened in 1958. In 1972, Bill's son Tom ran Wentzel's and began specializing in hard to find used 45s. I spent many a day in that place and I bought a ton of stuff to add to my collection. And many times I was searching for gems while Dr. Demento was also scouring the bins for tunes for his radio show. Wentzel's had received a gold record from the RIAA for recording Pipeline, and that record was hanging on the wall of the shop for decades. Wentzel's closed in 2002, and I begged Tom to sell me the gold record, but he politely refused. Ace Records now owns the Downey records catalogue. Such a legacy from a family owned small outfit. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks, RYP, for the Chantays. I'm not usually a fan of surf music, but "Pipeline" has something beyond the genre. Like "Telstar" that way.
