The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
As I mentioned last week, this is the second week (of three) of a classic rock music artist from 1971. This week spotlights Joy of Cooking. I remember the following songs (yes, two of them) as I was starting my senior year of high school. I mainly heard their music on Los Angeles progressive/underground rock station KPPC-FM (later KROQ-FM).
The songs are "Brownsville" and "A Thousand Miles" from their 1971 album, Closer To The Ground.
From Wikipedia:
Joy of Cooking was an American music ensemble formed in 1967, in Berkeley, California. Identified with the hippie culture, the band's music melded rock & roll with folk, blues, and jazz. The band released three studio albums on Capitol Records in the early 1970s as well as a minor hit single in 1971, "Brownsville". Led by guitarist Terry Garthwaite and pianist Toni Brown, who shared lead vocals, Joy of Cooking was an unusual example of a rock band fronted by women.
Next week's 1971 Classic Rock Music Monday will spotlight a band from Canada. No, it's not Rush.
