158. THE FULL STORY BEHIND JOHN PHILLIPS' SOLO CAREER (PART 1: JOHN, THE WOLFKING OF LA)

First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)   In this special penultimate installment of Discograffiti’s Mamas & The Papas Series, Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe explore & rate John’s solo recording career.   In this special 2-part final installment of our Mamas & Papas series, here’s just a choice sampling of what’s bandied about:   An intense deep dive down into the murky deep of John’s classic 1970 solo LP John, The Wolfking Of LA; The measly, solitary single that emerged as the result of John’s $50,000 advance from Clive Davis; And the legendary origin story behind John’s classic song “Me & My Uncle,” which was written while he was blackout drunk…and went on to become the most performed song in Grateful Dead history!   Listen: https://podfollow.com/1592182331    If you’re a John Phillips & Mamas And The Papas superfan like me, you’ll want the DIRECTOR’S CUT of this & the rest of the installments of Discograffiti’s “Michelle Phillips: Interview of a Lifetime” Series—this episode alone features no ads and AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES of essential material that we had to cut for time: https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti/shop/   Or subscribe!
