Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love.
Part 18 covers the early 1990s to the early 2000s, a period which encompasses both the nadir and zenith of Arthur’s career—that is, his stint in prison and his redemptive, post-release victory lap tour of Forever Changes—by which time Arthur’s experienced the kind of adulation of which he’d been deserving since a large audience had last paid attention.
Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
The Origin Story: how Baby Lemonade wound up crossing paths and then working with Arthur Lee;
What spurned the unfortunate early exit of Baby Lemonade bassist Henry Liu;
Their first recording session together, and why it was an immediate red flag for the new backing band;
The facts behind the evening that landed Arthur in prison;
Why a man named Gene Kraut was almost entirely responsible for the rehabilitation of Arthur’s reputation;
The new batch of Arthur Lee material, and the central conundrum it posed;
The big comeback falls apart during their homecoming show at Royce Hall;
And an overview of Arthur & Baby Lemonade’s “Girl On Fire” single.
