Whatever Happened to The Rockingbirds?

Thanks to Wild Man Mikey ( http://wildmanmikey.blogspot.com/)I am now is possesion of a little bit of knowledge ( a dangerous thing.)

The Rockingbirds were one of the most underated bands of the mid 1990's. Their first album is available off http://wildmanmikey.blogspot.com/ but their second one is avaiable here.

It was called "Whatever happened to the Rockingbirds" and is a somewhat prophetic title. The lead singer Alan Tyler is now a bit more country than the Rockingbirds ever were, but check out his my space page here: myspace.com/alantylerandthelostsonsoflittlefield and his own website here:http://www.alantyler.com/.

So get the LP here and go and see Alan Tyler in 2009 if you can. I know I will try!

it's a pleasure-have you followed the link to the first LP because that is just as good if not better!

God they were a great band! I remember seeing them up in north London, singing their hearts out in front of a big banner of Gram Parsons, (and this was some years before the widespread canonization of GP).

cheers for this . remember seeing them years ago with my mate Little John. Audience was only sparse could never understand why they did not get the acclaim they deserved
