NotesCommander Cody and his Last Planet Airmen were one of the great Roots music of the late 1960s and 1970s. They laid the groundwork for what would come to be known as the Americana genre. The Airmen did it all, boogie woogie, country and western, blues, swing and classic Rock N Roll. The group moved to San Francisco in the summer of 1969 and was almost immediately established as a force to be reckoned with. They regularly played the Fillmore West and Family Dog as well as many other venues and outdoor shows. By late 1970 they attracted the attention of several record companies and signed with ABC subsidiary Paramount Records in 1971. Their debut album called LOST IN THE OZONE was brimming over with great songs and one "Hot Rod Lincoln" hit number 9 in the pop charts the following year. This 2 CD set goes right back to the beginning and shows US how the Airmen came together and includes rare early jam sessions and classic live performances.
