🇫🇷 Biographie (Français)

Formé en 1969 par Jerry Miller et Don Stevenson, tous deux issus du groupe culte Moby Grape, The Rhythm Dukes s'inscrit dans le sillage du rock psychédélique californien. Le groupe recrute rapidement Bill Champlin (chant, guitare, orgue), transfuge des Sons of Champlin, ainsi que John Barrett (basse) et Fuzzy Oxendine (batterie). Leur musique navigue entre rock roots, folk, soul et jam session. L’album Flashback, capté en live studio en avril 1970 dans une église de San Anselmo, ne verra le jour qu’en 2005, offrant un témoignage rare de ce projet éphémère mais inspiré.

🇬🇧 Biography (English)

The Rhythm Dukes emerged in 1969, founded by Moby Grape’s Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson. Soon joined by Bill Champlin (from the Sons of Champlin), bassist John Barrett, and drummer Fuzzy Oxendine, they crafted a blend of roots rock, soul, folk, and jam-laced psychedelia. Their only recorded session, Flashback, was laid down live in April 1970 at a converted church in San Anselmo. Released posthumously in 2005, it showcases the raw and heartfelt energy of a band that burned briefly but brightly.

🇫🇷 Biographie (Français)
Projet solo du guitariste et chanteur Dave “Snaker” Ray (ex-Koerner, Ray & Glover), Bamboo (1968, Elektra Records) mêle folk, blues, jazz et country, avec des arrangements psychédéliques subtils (tack piano, rocksichord, steel guitar Red Rhodes) . Entouré de session-men talentueux (Will Donicht, Daniel Hall, etc.), l’album propose une palette riche et variée, oscillant entre mélodies roots et atmosphères introspectives, souvent comparé à Butterfield Blues ou Neil Young. Malgré sa singularité, l’opus est resté discret et confidentiel à sa sortie.

🇺🇸 Biographie (English)
Dave “Snaker” Ray’s solo project, Bamboo (1968, Elektra), blends folk, blues, jazz, country, and subtle psychedelia. Featuring tack piano, rocksichord, dobro by Red Rhodes, and performances by Will Donicht and Daniel Lee Hall, the record shifts between heartfelt roots songwriting and introspective, genre-hopping soundscapes—drawing favorable comparisons to the Butterfield Blues Band and early Neil Young. Though remarkable, the album flew under the radar upon release.
