Commander Cody


The Commander has left us at 77.  I wonder what St. Peter said to him at the Pearly Gates.

@whart: "Hot Rod Lincoln" made it's first appearance on the 1971 debut Commander Cody album, Kirchen playing guitar. Bill's live version is fantastic, playing solos in a plethora of styles.
I was lucky enough to see and hear Cody & the boys in the early 70's, The West Virginia Creeper on pedal steel and Telecaster master Bill Kirchen on guitar. Anyone who doesn't enjoy "Seeds And Stems (Again)" is a square, man. How many bands in '71 were hip enough to record Ronnie Self's Rockabilly classic "Home In My Hand"? Only they and NRBQ. Dave Edmunds recorded it too, but not until the 80's.
