The Roots of the Matter (SoundRaves week of 7/11/2011)

Some of you may had heard the news this week.   Rob Grill passed away on Monday, July 11 due to complications associated with a hard fall a couple weeks earlier.  He was 66.

Now, many of you might be wondering, who was Rob Grill?   And that just might have been the issue.  Lack of publicity.  He fronted a band, that, during its heyday, had a lot of hits but basically fell under the radar much of the time.    Yet, as I had found out over the last year or so, and especially this year, many of my contemporaries loved and grew up with his music.  

Grill was the lead singer and frontman for The Grass Roots, a band whose heydy indeed was during the late sixties and into the early 70's.    Unlike some of the well known acts of that era, like Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, you don't really hear the Grass Roots in the same sentence.    They probably won't ever get into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, but don't tell that to the people I grew up with, who have fond memories of their songs.   Unlike those mentioned, they were mostly a singles machine, an AM radio powerhouse.  They scored with songs written by others (although their B-sides and album cuts were written by them), but oh how those songs were memorable.

The original members of the band were Grill, drummer Rick Coonce, rhythm guitarist Warren Entner, and lead guitarist Creed Bratton.  If that last name sounded familiar, yes, it's the same guy from the sitcom The Office.    The band was originally known as the "13th Floor" (no relation to Roky Erickson's band The 13th Floor Elevators), and became The Grass Roots when producers Steve Barri and P.F.Sloan created the name and wanted a band to represent them (another band, The Bedouins, played as the Grass Roots and had a top 30 hit with "Where Were You When I Needed You").     But the former 13th Floor became the permanent Grass Roots and it was the Summer of Love (1967) that they hit the top 10 for the first time with "Let's Live For Today".  

And hence became a love affair of sorts.    In August of that year, my family, as we did every year, vacationed at the Jersey Shore's Manasquan beach.   10 years old at the time, I hung out a lot at the Manasquan Pavilion arcade playing pinball.   There was a jukebox stocked with current songs of the day, and it seems that every few songs, "Let's Live for Today" would come on.

A little over a year later. they had their second (and biggest) hit, "Midnight Confessions".   The fall of 1968 saw me in 7th grade, and I had spent a lot of time with my church youth group...we went on hayrides, and other excursions, including swimming at the pool at Drew University in Madison.   And I heard this song quite frequently.    Other classmates associated the song with Teen Club, an extra-curricular dance night sponsored by the Roselle Park school system.   

In 1969 they had three big local hits, "The River is Wide", "I'd Wait a Million Years", and "Heaven Knows".   The middle of these reminded me yet again of Manasquan, hearing it on the transistor radio on the beach as well as in the arcade.   Just before that song came out, Creed Bratton left the band, and during the next few years where were many personnel changes, but the classic AM sound continued.

1970 was a quiet year for them, with only "Baby Hold On" getting any sort of play in the area.    But in 1971 they made a big comeback, and probably my all-time favorite, "Temptation Eyes" came out, a top 15 hit.    It was one of 3 top 20 hits they had that year, and they were essentially swimming against the tide.   Progressive Album rock was dominating (Santana, Chicago, etc), along with the "singer-songwriter" (Carole King, James Taylor) and hard rock/heavy metal (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath).   These forms of music dominated our High School years.  Yet, here were the Grass Roots, pumping out more catchy and memorable stuff.    I wondered how this music would have played at that point.   It didn't take long to find out.  




One day, we had started our first period Speech class.  An AM radio was playing (probably from Homeroom moments before) "Temptation Eyes", my classmates were filing into the building.  One of them, Jeanne Malgeri was singing along to it as it winded down.    That's all I needed to know.  (Incidentally, when I posted that song on Facebook a few months back, Jeanne commented that it had reminded her of one of many dances that the high school had.    In fact, many of them recollected those days in the same manner.

After 1971, the band's popularity declined.  Their last chart hit was in 1975 ("Mamacita") and shortly after, Rob Grill was the lone original member.   They split, Grill recorded a solo album in 1979, assisted by members of the then-hot Fleetwood Mac.     In the 1980's he assembled a new touring Grass Roots which he continued almost to his death.     The Beach Boys were well known for playing July 4th concerts at the National Mall in Washington DC, but the Grass Roots did also.    They did ride the 60's nostalgia that was prevalent in the 1980's.  

The band Lords of the New Church covered "Let's Live for Today" in the late 80's, Alt-rock band Blake Babies did their take on "Temptation Eyes" in 1991.   Perhaps a bit too late, but the band's impact was being felt. 

In the mid-2000's the band got some publicity when it was noted the The Office ensemble player Creed Bratton was once a member of the band.    It was this element that made me a fan of the show (despite him having bit parts, he is hilarious as the aging head of Quality Assurance).    Checking to see where Grill was, he was still on the road with the current Grass Roots, and as luck would have it, while I was on my honeymoon in 2007, my wife and I visted Disney's EPCOT center, where we stumbled on Rob Grill and his band.    We listened to many of the hits and was amazed that they held up all these years.

Unfortunately, the original band never played together after 1969, and drummer Coonce also died this past February, leaving Creed and Warren Entner (who had a second career managing rock bands such as Faith No More).  Creed still records, apart from The Office; "Rubber Tree" made my SoundRaves chart last year and landed at #49 in my year-end list.

Many of my friends, including Armand Cistaro, Perry DeParre and Dave Paterno posted several of their songs in tribute, after learning of Grill's death.   Many others commented that they loved the band as well.   Much of the current songs I select for my SoundRaves chart are based on the sound popularized by the Grass Roots and other bands of that day, much of that sound, as popularized by bands such as Avi Buffalo and Fitz & the Tantrums, is making a comeback.    And I had thought back in the day, that I was the only one who was a fan...little did I know.


SOUND-RAVES 100:    Score another one for Rachel Allyn as she hits #1 for the third time with her version of "Say Hello to Goodbye".    The country comer, who is still trying to make it big, now ties Adele with the most #1's since I started this shindig last August.   The main difference is that all three of the Brit soulstress's songs have come from her 21 album, while Rachel's has been from three sources.   "Stand Still" was a cut from her 2009 EP Late Nights and Early Mornings, "Gettin' By", although also on the EP, was a remixed single version release, and "Say Hello..." is the new single.     The original version of that song, by Shontelle, also advances to #37; her big hit from last year, the national top 20 "Impossible" reached #50 here on SoundRaves.   Rachel will be playing at this years "Jamaroo" festival in Layton, NJ, along with several acts, including Moving Company which features Ron Pietranowicz on keyboards.

Katy Perry moves up to #2 with "Last Friday Night", breaking her own record for the highest charting song by a strictly pop artist, besting her "Firework" from earlier this year.    There is a jam-up in the top part of the chart, with Fitz & the Tantrums "Dear Mr. President" having to stay at #4 despite gaining.   Last weeks #1, Train's "Save Me San Francisco", drops to #3.

Two big entries into the Top 20 this week, including Plan B's "Love Goes Down", and Avi Buffalo's "How Come?"; is the second time in the upper echelon for both acts.  Two other acts that have hit the top spot also enter this week:  Foo Fighters follow-up to "Rope", "Walk", and The Black Eyes' "Everlasting Light".

As the year-old "Pumped Up Kicks" hits #1 on Billboard's Alternative Chart this week, (and spends its 25th week on my list), and "Houdini" bows out of the top 20, a third song by Foster the People, "Helena Beat", which is the new single, is the Top Debut and Pick of the Week, at #64.  An equally exciting record, "How Much Younger" by Brilliant Colors, who hail from San Francisco, come in at #72.  Also debuting are Colbie Colliat's "Brighter Than the Sun", the follow-up to her top 20 "I Do"; and new stuff from artists that were on extended hiatuses, Michelle Branch, Lenny Kravitz, and The Kooks.

The Raveonettes, whose "Apparitions" inches up to #23 will be playing in this area, Maxwells in Hoboken on August 1.  This is a band you don't want to miss.    Music festivals continue to abound; it was announced that Collective Soul, Southside Johnny, and the Smithereens (fresh from an appearance at Maplewoodstock) will appear at the Union County MusicFest in Clark NJ, on September 16.

Lake George: Music Mecca? (Sound-Raves Week of 7/4/2011)

As many of you may know, we spent the Fourth of July holiday weekend up in the beautiful resort town of Lake George, NY, a village nestled at the southwest corner of the state's largest lake.   It's not the first time I've frequented this place, far from it.   And it certainly won't be the last.

In the past, I've camped in the nearby islands (courtesy of my friend Joe Lipani's boat Double Helix), hiked up Prospect Mountain, been to The Great Escape park, rode the Minne-Ha-Ha, and rafted the Upper Hudson in nearby North Creek.    Oh yeah, and frequented many of its pubs, clubs and bars.

This time around it was mostly sedate, as I was with my wife and her two really good friends, Emily and Victoria Scholl, so the activities were mostly centered on the town's shops, mini-golf, and the lake itself (we rode on the Adirondac for a tour of the bay, instead of the aforementioned Minne-Ha-Ha).   But there's one thing you can't escape when you're in Lake George:  Music.

While I would never consider the resort town a music mecca (how many artists were actually discovered there?), you cannot go from point A to B without hearing someone playing guitar in a nearby bar, or having some radio on.     All you have to do is walk from one end to the other, and pass many of its taverns to hear somebody showing off their craft.    We had lunch the second day at Christie's on the Lake, where a guy set up and started playing right behind us.    Walking by one corner was a guy playing the saxophone.   And you absolutely cannot walk by the legendary Duffy's without hearing some kind of music coming out of it.     Although I didn't enter that place this time around, you didn't have to.   One guy was playing up on the deck, and of course on any given evening, on the upper floor, a band will be playing on its stage.

Most of these artists just play covers, and many of them aren't even indicated on the pub's marquees; it'll just say live music or entertainment.  Since the village consists largely (in the summer, anyway...the town goes dead after labor day) of tourists, chances are not many actually care who is playing, just the thought of live music as a backdrop in an atmospheric restuarant or tavern, or on the deck overlooking the lake on a nice day will do just fine.

My advice, if you want to hear some good, live music on your vacation, with a beautiful backdrop of the lake or the Adirondacks, Lake George is the place for you.    If you want to hear the 'next big thing', you're probably better off taking a four hour drive south on I-87.

SOUND-RAVES 100:   Aside from hearing live music wafting from a nearby bar, the radios were going, enabling me to hear some broadcast music as well.    A group who were barbecuing in the picnic area in front of our room had the local station The Point (100.3) on for a while.    At the bowling alley, more new music was piped in as well.     My favorite station, WEQX came in loud and clear on my car radio, but of course, as the others in my party aren't Alt-rock fans, my listening was reduced to a few minutes heading to the local Price Chopper for supplies for the weekend.

But based on much of what I heard, plus positive responses to my posting of its video last week, "Save Me San Francisco" by Train holds on for a second week.    You know a song has arrived when my wife Barb starts humming along to it.     It thus holds off Rachel Allyn (who, unfortunately doesn't have the radio play to have an effect on my rankings last week), who has to settle at #2.     Leaping into the #3 spot is Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night", matching her peak of "Firework" early this year.   A mainstream rock band, a fledging country singer and a pop diva own the top three positions....so much for my Alternative Rock slant....

Fitz & the Tantrums, whose "Money Grabber" I heard twice over the weekend and which is still on the chart for week 31, jump to #4 with the album cut "Dear Mr. President", which pushes Swedish sensation Lykke Li back to #5.     The only "new" entry into the top 10 is, yes, "Rolling in the Deep" which inches back to the 10 spot in week 30.   The song finally drops out of the #1 position on Billboard's Hot 100 after 8 weeks.  And yes, we heard it a lot over the weekend as well.

Adele is one of three artists with two songs simultaneously in the top 20, the others are Lady Gaga, whose "The Edge of Glory" flies into the #18 spot, joining "Judas" which inches up a notch to 19; and Fleet Foxes, in which two of their tracks from Helplessness Blues.  "Grown Ocean" and "Battery Kenzie" enter at #16 and #20 respectively.   The title track finally drops off the 100 after 21 weeks.  The band is currently touring Europe, but will make their way back to North America next week (Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis).

The big Mover of the Week is Plan B's "Love Goes Down" which jumps from #78 to #29.  I mentioned this briefly last week, but after a few listens I was knocked over.    Plan B, aka Ben Drew is another artist who pays homage to the soul of the 1960's.    "Stay Too Long" was my #1 song back in February, the more recent "She Said" is heading down the chart after peaking at #30.   Both of those songs combined the soul sensability with a hip-hop rap bridge; but the new song is one hundred percent pure soul.    I advise you to give it a listen.  All three songs are available on his latest album The Defamation of Strickland Banks.  He'll be playing several festivals in Ireland, UK and other parts of Europe; after having participated in the multi-star-studded Wireless Festival in London last weekend.

With Adele out of the top spot nationally and 'Someone Like You" dropping out of my top 20, it was time for another cut from 21.  "Set Fire to the Rain" leads the debuts at #63.   In the UK, a remix of the song is available on iTunes from an EP of new mixes from the current album.  Cee Lo Green has his third single on my charts, "Bright Lights, Bigger City" entering at #92.     New bands to the list include Generationals, an indie-rock duo from New Orleans;  and Young the Giant, a five-piece from Irvine, California.    And, plastered all over the Internet, Facebook (and everywhere else, as its #2 eponymous debut on the album chart this week with its second album attests), Bon Iver comes in at #99 with "Calgary".  They are a high touted indie-folk band led by Justin Vernon and are one to watch.
