I used to have this. RIP Commander Cody 09/30/21. I was not a country music fan, but totally loved Texas Swing, Boogie and Rock combined because of Commander Cody, even though he started his band in Ann Arbor MI at U of M, my home state. I learend to play Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar on piano and drive my friends crazy because of this band. George Frayne [the "Commenader] should have at least gotten some kind of Country Music Award, if not Rock and Roll, a long damn time ago, for introducing a whole young generation to this kind of music. First time I ever saw "country Band" that didn't have crew cuts, probably why some in the country music sector ignored the "dirty hippies" playing their kind of music. lol. Today's country music sucks compared to this. Every musician is this band was out of this world. Well, they were the Lost Planet Airmen...what a great name for a band.

Bless You Commander for gracing our Planet! We will meet across the river.

[@kingarthur4419]

Saw them at the Palladium in NYC with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Still have the vinyl LP. RIP Commander!

[@charliemccall8188]

Just grabbed this on vinyl. By far one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@Jerry-xv9ww]

The Commander ROCKS, been a fan since day one

[@joeybabybaby5843]

The very definition of good-time-drinkin' music...The pinnacle of "American pub rock"... Dare I say "timeless"?

[@danbartko164]

He and his crew lit up many of our parties for a long time back in the day, and this album is my favorite of his. RIP George Frayne aka/ Commander Cody

[@robertaccornero7172]

His brother Chris Frayne was the artist who created their album covers, a friend of mine in high school.

[@doncrouch2964]

this is, evidently, the only way to hear this album without paying a fortune! Thanks for keeping it up here, it's their masterpiece!

[@MrLaggy2000]

Vinyl copies can be had for only a few bucks

[@deekrivers1]

love these guys saw them once great show!

[@tomsteinberg6765]

Ive seen them as much as possible since '72

[@garypankratz9352]

My favorite CC album. Rest easy Commander.

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

I was at the riders show in Central Park but don’t remember the Commander saw this band at The Academy of Music w NRPS one of my favs of all time they recorded on Home Home on the Road

[@johndonaldson2872]

That was my first concert ever, at the ripe old age of 13,hopping on the ole LIRR @ Seaford what a great experience

[@gaelchuncho9185]

Shall we meet, honeysuckle, everybody's... SO GOD DAMN GOOD; Ty for the excellent sound quality . Ps:"The sun is high so am i"

[@Recycledhooligan]

Better than anything on the radio today

[@58Tailfin]

Thanks for posting this! Such a bummer it's out of print....by far my favorite Commander Cody album!

[@rinkydinkpanther3367]

This classic LPA line-up with Billy C Farlow on vocals has to be one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. Sadly, I never saw them live but I caught a later incarnation of the group featuring Austin De Lone back in the mid-1980s. I'd forgotten how great this album was. Thanks for reminding me.

[@featfan100]

Been searching for the album for years. Finally found it on KZbin

[@jkoff76]

A great, underrated and (sadly) out of print album!

[@niceguymick9780]

this was just before punk rock. disco permeated. I thought this music would break the disco hold but punk stepped in...I been wanting to hear Rock That Boogie for about a year now...thanks...

[@patfinn8244]

NYC hippies drafted into the Army in December 1972 ("Last Call" lol). My love for the Commander and NRPS kept my ass from getting kicked by the good ol boys on more than a few occasions

[@suebuxton1814]

always loved this album, nothing like it!

[@niceguymick9780]

I had this on 8-track...I listen once or twice a week here, at least...great albums on this channel

[@holgerpetersen4254]

R.I.P. Commander Cody.

[@bmag9908]

1974 Central PARK , NYC...... NRPS and the Commander. The day a16 year old boy became.... .. well something else I guess lol. Nothing was the same after that

[@leekosmin8788]

Saw them twice in England many years ago. Second time they had Norton Buffalo playing blues harp. Also saw Bill Kirchen in London about 3 years ago. Many thanks for putting this up.Legendary band.

[@zachmoring4432]

I has this 8 track and vinyl! Great memories

[@looselatigo]

Used to have this on vinyl and haven't heard it one in years. Great stuff.

[@Fents_Post_Productions]

RIP George Frayne, aka Commander Cody

[@ronneeracoon5388]

Saw CC&LPA many times in Austin at the legendary ‘Dillo, including the live multi night recording session in November 1973. The weed smoke was so thick you cut cut it with a knife. A few years back I was negotiating with George to use some of the songs for an indie horror movie I was planning to produce and direct here in Austin.

[@ronneeracoon5388]

BTW, my choice for the small town sheriff was none other than Clancy Brown (“Highlander”, “Legend of Buster Scruggs”, voice of Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob…”, among others.) A old skool hot rod drag race scene was to be filmed using “Hot Rod Lincoln” as accompanying music. There was a scene set in a South Austin honky tonk “Giddyups@ featuring a band in the background playing various CC&LPA tunes. Bill Kirchen and his guys were my choice as a featured music guests.

[@canterburied]

great!

[@manitobuckles]

So long Commander.

[@tombstone1841]

" One Mans Meat", " Everybodys Doin it", and "Tubesteak Boogie",man, how could I forget how great this band is, I still have a vinyl copy, time to dig out the old victrola, just doesn't sound the same without the crackling in the background, lol.

[@DerekxxCore]

Thank you for adding this! I only have it on vinyl and wanted to listen to it in my car and it ain’t on Spotify for some dang reason

[@doodahdavesrecords4319]

I found on CD since a friend took back my vinyl

[@squishy-melonpan3290]

Anybody else here, because of Ryans video? XD "One mans meat" starts at 9:05 ;)

[@scottsanta5829]

SHALL WE MEET!!!

[@alexjohns6109]

Had to put this on after having the misfortune to hear Taylor Swift on the radio. They mentioned that she was a country artist. Really? Sorry dear but THIS is country music. CC is one of the greatest bands of all time. Saw them several times in London in the early 70s. Unforgettable. Still got all the albums on vinyl. Off to get lost in the ozone. Again.

[@dedflrs]

Thas the Way I like it, That's the way I doooOoo

[@alienbob21]

Ryan George brought me here.

[@tomchewuk5468]

1975 or there about. My Fathers Place Roslyn, NY. Certainly put a spin on the way I was thinking.....

[@niceguymick9780]

do you happen to have 'hot licks, cold steel and trucker's favorites?' man, I am dying to hear that since I've been playing this. I keep returning. amazon prime doesn't have this one. I have it on CD in a two pack with 'Hot Licks' but can't play it.

[@XKAHAN1]

HLCS&TF is here on LubeTube!🦊🖤🐾
