Tommy Peltier
Recorded at Capitol Records in 1971, “10,000 Greyhounds” is a frantic, jangle-blues workout that sends Tommy into scats and the band into sprawling jams before spiraling into an ebullient pocket epic of blissed self-discovery. It’s the latest preview of Echo Park, the 91-year-old LA legend’s long-lost album, mixed and mastered by Jim O’Rourke and due March 27th.
Drag City unearths Echo Park, a long-lost collection of “glitter-light” pop from LA jazz legend Tommy Peltier. Mixed and mastered by Jim O’Rourke, the album captures Peltier’s 1970s transition into a soulful troubadour. Lead single “Flight of the Dancer,” out now, is a lush, 1976-tracked ballad featuring ethereal vocals and sensuous slide guitar reminiscent of George Harrison.
