158. JOHN PHILLIPS: THE SOLO YEARS (PART 1: WOLFKING) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)


Listen Later

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!
