159. JOHN PHILLIPS: THE SOLO YEARS (PART 2: WASTED) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

46 minutes

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, the very last episode of Discograffiti’s Mamas & Papas Series, Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe explore & rate John’s solo recording career.

Here’s just a choice sampling of what’s bandied about in this podcast:

The monstrous failure of John’s 1975 off-Broadway flop “Man On The Moon”;

How John was responsible for the final Rolling Stones album of their classic Mick Taylor era, and why those recordings went unreleased;

And a stark account of possibly the most self-destructive bender any one human being has ever undertaken in the history of narcotics abuse.
