They lost their EMI contract, but gained their independence: My interview with Bakersfield's Beatles
I was going to say it was on its way, but I couldn't fit it in the subject line. I'm sorry to disappoint those of you that were expecting instant access to the Dr. BLT/Lost Ocean Interview. It should be up at Bakersfield Sound Underground, Phantom Tollbooth, over here, and at Bakotopia within the next few days.
Buck Owen's favorite band was the Beatles, so I know that if he were around today, he would love this band. I'm not ready to declare the begininng of a post-British-Invasion phenomenon coming from the streets of Bakersfield, but they are the closest thing to the Beatles Bakersfield has ever known.
