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.

So dig it, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry
