Well, I know Kris and Rita, and Marty MullIn my last post I mentioned Joy of Cooking, the cookbook. This made me think of the band with that name, which emerged from the Berkeley scene in the early 1970s with a sound rooted in blues, funk, and country. I still have, somewhere, a vinyl disc of their second album Closer to the Ground. You can hear the title song from that album through the link above.
Are meeting at the Troubadour,
We'll get it on with the Joy of Cooking
While the crowd cries out for more
