A fascinating interview, especially to understand more, as an American, about how the early influences of American music impacted British artists differently than in the US due to racism in the American radio industry. This is very humbling and a revelation. "The English Filter!!"
Hearing another great interview makes me appreciate how fortunate we were to grow up during the transistor radio days and absorbing all that great music. The Zombies, the Kinks and the Animals were some of my favorites of the British Invasion as well as yours and I hope you three beautiful cats all live to be a hundred, thank you!
Great interview Joe. These guys, Rod and Colin, are so interesting to listen to, with fantastic stories.So many classic songs came from them. Hold Your Head Up, one of my all time favorite songs, and even sounded awesome coming out of a mono AM car radio. Impossible not to crank it up when it came on. Gotta go check out some Zombies and Argent music now.
Love these interviews and especially the stories of bands' early days, the writing and recording processes, etc. I had four older siblings who were into music. One of them had the Zombies record that had a picture of them standing on a bridge (I think), one of them wearing 'Buddy Holly' glasses. I was a big music fan by the ripe old age of 4, soon after The Beatles 'landed' here. As a kid I loved looking the album covers and record labels, I thought they were all like little pieces of art. I remember many of those album covers, and even the labels that bands were on. I clearly remember that Zombies album being on Parrot records. I don't know the album name offhand, but I'm pretty sure it had Tell Her No and She's Not There. Thanks for another great interview, Joe.
A very enjoyable interview. I have seen Colin & Rod live onstage in the U.K a few years ago. I will be getting The Zombies new album,thanks to your feature. Cheers Joe
LEEFORDJAGG, thank you for your kind words & support of the channel. It would have meant alot to my dad, Joe, and does to me too. Hope you can visit the museum sometime. All the best, Britt
mnpd3, thank you for supporting the channel. Although there are museums that represent musicians from their state, we are the only Musicians Hall of Fame that represents all genres internationally. Since you are in Nashville, come visit the museum! Look forward to seeing you, Britt
Great Joe...love the Zombies. I actually like that type of Brit music way more that the Beatles. The Zombies have a unique sound that was in a category all it's own. They should be even more revered than what they are.
Thank you too James… I love the Beatles of course but I feel a lot like you too. There’s just something undefinable about the Zombie’s, Kinks, Yard Birds etc. that just takes me to a different frame of mind. Best, Joe
Just to correct a statement made early in the discussion, People! Who did the cover of 'I Love You ', were an American band. Featuring Larry Norman, who would make a name for himself as one of the Jesus Music pioneers.
ONE YEAR is a sublime listening experience as is the first ARGENT album...every track a winner
I've always loved the zombie's and really enjoyed your show this evening. Thank you class act with the interview. T.C.B.
Look forward to experiencing the museum, and hopefully meet you Joe. Another fantastic interview.
Thanks Carter… hope to see you here too….Joe
Rod is one of the greats!

I live here in Nashville and just realized this is the Nashville Musicians Hall of Fame.

That Joe is a sweet, generous man...
Mind boggling....
Excellence...
Someone suggest to these fellows to talk to Rhino about doing some reissues. Great stuff, Joe.
Has anyone ever asked them about Billy Gibbons and the Moving Sidewalks touring as The Zombies? I’d love to see them and Billy laughing about it

Hey Joe y'all going to consider Ted Nugent The Motor City Mad Man
Sure Bob… thanks for sharing your thoughts…Joe
Pepper robbed them of a great album acclaim
