Erik Jacobsen

b. Chicago, Illinois, USA. Jacobsen seduced attention being a banjo participant in the bluegrass trio, the Plum Creek Children, who were afterwards renamed the Knob Lick Top 10, 000. This unlikely-named group documented two albums, but split up when business lead singer Dwain Tale embarked on the solo career. The 3rd member, Pete Childs, became a program guitarist and dobro participant. The Beatles motivated Jacobsen’s change to well-known music and he scoured many Greenwich Community haunts for sympathetic music artists. John Sebastian, at that time a fixture over the folk picture, brought him a genuine structure, ‘Rooty Toot’, and jointly they began developing an organization. Having completed many demos with bass participant Felix Pappalardi, Sebastian was became a member of by Joe Butler, Steve Boone and Zalman Yanovsky to create Lovin’ Spoonful. Jacobsen created all this exceptional group’s US Top 10 materials, including ‘Perform YOU GENUINELY BELIEVE IN Magic?’, ‘Daydream’ and ‘Summer months In The Town’. This achievement paved just how for use Tim Hardin as well as the Sopwith Camel. Jacobsen was also in charge of guiding Norman Greenbaum’s single career, that was released, spectacularly, using a million-selling one, ‘Heart In The Sky’. Not surprisingly amazing roster, Jacobsen withdrew from energetic participation in music for a lot of the 70s, although his posting firm, Faithful Virtue Music, by which all his performers’ main compositions were designated, would continue steadily to reward him economically. He came back to studio function when he created Chris Isaak’s 1985 debut Silvertone.
