Greetings all!

This week I’m bringing you the most recent episode of my show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, Testify! which I thought would be of interest to Iron Leggers.

Testify! episode #127 is dedicated to the group of Oklahoma musicians that made their way to the West Coast in the late 50s and early 60s to work as musicians, songwriters, producers and arrangers.

You get early work by Leon Russell, JJ Cale, Davis Gates, Chuck Blackwell, Carl Radle, Greg Dempsey, Gary Sanders, and others. The way they intersect with some of the major names of the days is really interesting and worth a listen.

Fargo – Talks We Used to Have

Fargo

Listen/Download – Fargo – Talks We Used To Have

Greetings all.

A few years back I was out driving around the hinterlands of upstate New York with my father-in-law, perusing antique stores and the like and happened upon one of the most isolated record stores I’ve ever been to.

The place was one of those big old buildings that looked like it used to be a feed store, but all of the oats and hay had been replaced by well worn cardboard boxes full of records.

Things were not optimally organized or placed for easy browsing, but I couldn’t very well walk away from a mountain of vinyl like that, so dig I did.

One of the armload of records I picked up that day was the album you see before you by Fargo.

Fargo, basically the duo of Dean Wilden and Tony Decker seem to have hailed from Utah, and if a few of the songs on the album (along with scraps of information on the interwebs) are to be believed, they were dabbling in Christian rock.

Don’t let that out you off, because while they were dabbling in Jesus, they were fully involved in making high quality folk/pop/popsike, packed to the rafters with hooks and tight harmonies.

Recorded in 1969, with assistance from Rick Cunha (of Hearts and Flowers) and producer/songwriter Marty Cooper, ‘I See It Now’ is – if not a genuine lost classic – orbiting in the vicinity thereof.

Cooper is an interesting touchpoint, because he helped write a few of the songs and is the link between Fargo and Jennifer Warnes, who recorded their song ‘Places Everyone’ and the Cooper-penned ‘Sunny Day Blue’ which appeared as a Fargo b-side.

The track I bring you today is my fave from the album, ‘Talks We used To Have’.

The song is a blissful piece of folk rock bordering on sunshine pop, with an absolutely beautiful chorus. I’m a little shocked that it wasn’t released as a 45, but all signs seem to point to the fact that Fargo were an artistic success and a commercial failure.

I don’t think Wilden or Decker did anything else, which is a shame since they clearly had a lot of talent.

‘I See It Now’ was reissued on CD by Lion records in 2017. The original album isn’t terribly expensive, hovering between 10 and 20 dollars, and worth every penny.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry

Grady and Brady – Star of the Show

Grady and Brady on Shivaree in 1965

Example

Listen/Download – Grady and Brady – Star of the Show

Greetings all.

Today’s selection was picked up a while back in the midst of a David Gates dragnet.

Gates, best known for his work with Bread spent much of the decade prior to the founding of that group as an extremely busy songwriter and producer in Los Angeles.

Gates was part of the great Oklahoma to Los Angeles musical diaspora of the 60s (along with Leon Russell among many others) and worked in the studio with all kinds of acts, including the early Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band.

Today’s selection is one of the last 45s by the twin-brother duo of Grady and Brady Sneed. There’s not much info out there about them other than that they recorded a string of 45s for southern California labels like Dolton and Planetary.

Today’s selection, ‘Star of the Show’ was written produced by Gates for the Planetary label (for which he’d also worked with Dorothy Berry) in 1965.

The tune is a great cross between a kind of Everly Brothers vibe with a 1965 garage/Stones wailing harmonica and guitar attack.

Despite the coolness of the record, it doesn’t appear to have gotten any radio play. What it did get was the twins a spot on the SoCal dance party show Shivaree. There’s a great clip on Youtube of their performance where you can see the Byrds in the background.

Their other Planetary 45, ‘Love or Money’ is also very cool in a similar vein.

I hope you dig the tune, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry
