Cannabis

It really is surprising that there weren’t more rings named following the medication that was such a ubiquitous existence in the music culture from the later 1960s. If nothing at all else, you’ll think it could offer a music group instant promotion. Such had not been the situation for Rhode Island’s Cannabis, whose just album, Joint Work, a good collection that eschewed large rock and roll for pop/rock and roll, never made a lot of a direct effect outside New Britain. The music group had its origins with a middle-’60s outfit known as the Acetones, whose drummer Bob Randall asked Gary Wilkinson to become listed on them on bass. Both immediately felt a particular compatibility within their playing and started to jam collectively outside the music group. This led these to the decision to place their own music group collectively, and both enlisted Lonny Gasperini to try out keyboards in the music group. Gasperini left quickly thereafter, and Tony Rodriguez and Charles Robillard became a member of up on business lead acoustic guitar and bass, respectively, with Wilkinson shifting to keyboards. Phoning themselves Organized Dilemma, the music group recorded several Randall/Wilkinson compositions that proceeded to go nowhere as singles. After two months, Robillard was drafted, and Gasperini rejoined the music group with Wilkinson time for bass. The music group renamed themselves Cannabis, playing cover music while Randall and Wilkinson continuing writing their very own original music. Robillard re-entered the flip as supervisor and booked them for gigs completely to Tx. While in Tx, Cannabis inserted the studio room to record “Find You each day” and “The Just Rock ‘N’ Share,” that have been well-received, convincing the music group to record a complete record. Adding guitarist Brian Kelly and vocalist Keith Tweedy, Cannabis came back to New Britain and inserted Eastern Audio Studios in Methuen, Massachusetts, where they documented Joint Work. The LP received airplay in Providence and Boston however the band’s swift break up held the record from heading any further.
