Following the release of Teenage Head in 1971, San Francisco’s Flamin’ Groovies would experience a significant amount of setbacks and change. Eventually, they would persevere and create a classic. In Episode 44, the Flamin’ Groovies’ Cyril Jordan tells the story of the band’s arduous journey in bringing their seminal 1976 record Shake Some Action to fruition.
Wonderful presentation. I bought the album when it came out in 1976 and it quite literally changed my life. As you said, pop melodies and heartbreak. My favorite album of all time.
