AOR Radio Exclusive: Cruising The Boulevard In A Fancy Open Car
 |
| C-Heads Magazine |
According to Bandcamp, Earl McGrath was the ultimate jet setter, an art collector and comic bon vivant who stumbled into the record business between legendary parties in New York and LA. After his death in 2016, some of the demos he had recorded in the seventies were literally found in a closet. Light In The Attic recently put them together on an album for the first time: Earl’s Closet: The Lost Archive of Earl McGrath, 1970-1980. The opening track of this cloudcast, Mark Rodney’s California is one of the tracks.
"He's a maniac. He just moved in next door. He'll kill your cat and nail it to the door."
(original lyrics for what would later become Maniac, the song for the movie Flashdance).
