No, not that Alice. We’re talking about that band from Phoenix. You know, Alice Cooper? Well, anyway, that band with Vincent Furnier as frontman. Who later legally adopted the name of the band, Alice Cooper. But we’ll get to that in the show.

Imagine starting a Blues band, having a major Beat hit, going into psychedelic, creating one of the first concept albums, going full Prog Fusion including a crossover classical/Rock album, taking a short break, and starting into the next decade with a major synthpop hit.

Sounds busy? Well… this week’s featured band did it all, and then some.

Well, it may not be easy being green, but this week it will be easy to listen as we take a shot at the somewhat wobbly-ly defined genre of Easy Listening. Often pigeonholed as “elevator music,” it actually really is not (the frequency-gated drizzle one hears in elevators and similar places is usually called Muzak, after the company that originally invented and marketed it), and can actually be fun to listen to.

This week, we will have a look at the band that fell apart before parts of it fell into Bad Company. Well, it fell together again after its first falling apart, for a bit. It’s all a bit complicated. But feel Free to listen in!

This week we will take a look at the work of Jefferson Airplane the band, not the defunct airplane manufacturer of whose existence the band had not even heard when they picked their name. To be clear, we’re looking at Jefferson Airplane, not the three similarly-named bands former members thereof would later form. That out of the way, we’ll have a nice trip (geddit?) into the beginnings of Psychedelic Rock with one of the founding bands of the genre.

No, that is not to insinuate that this particular John Williams had anything to do with the James Bond series of films. Rather we are talking about the Australian classical guitarist Jazz drummer Jazz bassist drummer saxophonist singer—sorry. Orchestral music, right? The American pianist classical conductor violinist composer, film scorer and conductor, John Williams. Not to be confused with a lot of other musicians, composers etc. named John Williams. Anyway, long story short, we’ll have a bit of an overview of his work this week.

This week, we’ll look at the common factor involved in Vinegar Joe and The Power Station. And what he did on his own. And what all of that has to do with Little Feat.
