It's a little embarrassing that I know even vague details of all this btw. Robertson did a heinous vocal cover of ABBA's Arrival with Frida on the same album that Stephen Morris wrote a song or two. They recorded each others songs, did a duet or two etc. Seems like there is a lot of cross-pollination between a pretty lacklustre roster of artists - Robertson, Kajanus, Stephen Bishop, Yvonne Elliman (who also recorded at Ardent). The connection with George Kajanus is that he and Robertson shared the same music publisher, Steve Morris Music. He seemed to be able to surround himself with super-session men - Herbie Flowers, Davy Graham, the guys from AWB, Billy Livsey, Steve Harley's band and so on. yet it was produced by Georg Kajanus, later frontman of Sailor! I want to hear it now!īA Robertson's career always seems little incomprehensible but imo it's just that he was a good networker. It was one of the most unique firings of a front man in Rock n' Roll history.īizarrely this was released on Ardent Records, and seems to have been at least partly recorded at Ardent Studios, hence the involvement of Terry Manning.
No one within the band talked to him after that. Surprisingly, no one in the band disagreed, and they drove off leaving him in the field. Richrath suggested out of anger that they just drive away and leave Luttrell to find his own way home.
When the car stopped, Luttrell fled into a corn field. Richrath ordered that the car be pulled over so he could fight Luttrell. Luttrell became upset and became combative. Richrath, and the rest of the band, were extremely upset because the money that they had would be spent on gas getting home, and they would be completely broke. On the drive back, Richrath began an argument with Luttrell over costing the band the performance money. This angered the club owner, and he refused to pay the band for performing. The band was forced to quit the set and cut the show short. During the performance, Terry became agitated and refused to continue singing. REO Speedwagon had a gig that was a significant drive from their home in Champaign, Illinois. One night, the differences between Luttrell and REO Speedwagon came to a head. Luttrell thought that Gary Richrath was writing songs that were too politically motivated, and wanted to focus on less controversial material. The subject matter of Golden Country is actually one of the main issues that led to Luttrell being let go from the band. Richrath is listed as the sole writer of the song, and vehemently denies that Luttrell was a co-writer. The prettiest flower in winter is the A:Crocus? B: English Primrose? or C: Peanut Butter Blossom?
