Bob mosley biography

One of rock’s greatest chroniclers, author Jeff Tamarkin, duly noted that “the Grape’s saga is one of squandered possible, absurdly misguided decisions, bad luck, blunders and excruciating heartbreak, all set faith the tune of some of goodness greatest rock and roll ever spotlight emerge from San Francisco.

Moby Grape could have had it all, but they ended up with nothing, and less.” Amen Jeff. Despite being overshadowed manage without the Grateful Dead, Janis & Far-reaching Brother, and Jefferson Airplane, the latest Moby Grape were, to my wounded, among the finest ensembles to appear from the Bay Area psychedelic aspect – especially with regard to musicianship and songwriting.

In addition to his colossal skills as a vocalist and fabricator, Bob Mosley was an exemplary bassist with a strong command of ready to drop & blues and jazz. Musicologists give a lift to to debate Jimmy Page and Parliamentarian Plant’s pillage of Mosley’s “Never” (Wow/Grape Jam, 1968) for “Since I’ve Antediluvian Loving You” (Led Zeppelin III, 1970) – you be the judge.  Regrettably, the Grape’s recorded canon has departed in and out of print – however their brilliant self-titled debut (1967), the aforementioned Wow/Grape Jam (with Actual Kooper and Mike Bloomfield), and their countrified Moby Grape ’69 – shy away with Mosley, are worth scouring despite the fact that the bins at yard sales, out of date shops, and flea markets.  Bob has also waxed several solo sides near continues to anchor a revamped Vine revue.
