Due out Sept. 19 is The 'Cocaine Drain' Album from The Cowsills, the renowned family band/singing group that originally formed in the 1960s, broke through with significant early success and has enjoyed decades of activity since (and also the group whose story was the inspiration behind the Partridge Family).
The material on this record was first recorded in 1978 and produced by Chuck Plotkin (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) - and has been restored and expanded for this special archival revisiting.
A bit on the record's journey, per a news release:
In 1978, the band began recording demos with Chuck Plotkin, after an introduction from Jackson Browne, and eventually moved into studios to record a full album. In addition to Bob and Paul Cowsill originals, the band recorded songs by John Hall (Orleans), future Grammy-winner Wendy Waldman, and "Buzzy" Feiten. It was all going smoothly until Plotkin moved on to mix Bruce Springsteen's Darkness On The Edge Of Town. Future multiple Grammy-winner Val Garay (Kim Carnes, James Taylor, The Motels) stepped in to sequence and master the recordings, yet, an expected major-label deal never materialized. The masters disappeared, and (another) great album languished in obscurity.
