Pidgeon

Pidgeon’s only recording, 1969’s self-titled Pidgeon, will be a lot more obscure than it really is were it all not for the current presence of Jobriath (here credited seeing that Jobriath Salisbury) seeing that principal vocalist, co-songwriter, keyboardist, and guitarist, about five years before he emerged being a notorious glam rocker whose buzz didn’t deliver commercial outcomes. In middle-1968, he still left the LA cast from the Locks musical to attach with Pidgeon, whose materials was co-written by Jobriath and lyricist Richard T. Marshall. Manufacturer and session vocalist Stan Farber got them a agreement with Decca Information, and arranged to allow them to rehearse for half a year in a residence before they inserted the studio room to record Pidgeon in past due 1968. Containing components of California sunlight pop, the harmonies from the Mamas & the Papas, the baroque pop from the Still left Banke, and just a little heavier psychedelia ? la Jefferson Aircraft, the Pidgeon album was as well baffled to cohere right into a fulfilling whole, though Jobriath’s high and strident vocals had been a big area of the combine. Pidgeon released a following non-LP one in 1969, “Silicone Bricks”/”Prison Wall space,” before splitting up.
