156. MAMA CASS, THE SOLO YEARS (FEATURING MICHELLE PHILLIPS) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives' podcast)
Description
First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)
In Part 6 of this without-precedent 16-hour interview, Michelle Phillips guests along with band biographer Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe as we put our hearts & minds together for the singular purpose of exploring and rating Cass Elliot’s solo recording career.
In this episode, we reveal:
- Brutal details about Cass’s fumbled 1968 solo career coming-out party in Las Vegas, when she took the stage high on heroin;
- The confusing divide between Cass’s predilection for both tin pan alley-style song selection and countercultural material;
- And a fact-based demystification of the details surrounding her death.
