Roy Loney 1946-2019

I must admit that I did not know much about the Flamin’ Groovies during their creative peak in the 1960s and 1970s. I only started listening to their old music in the last few years, prompted by “I’m Drowing” which made an appearance on a Rhino anthology. They were from San Francisco but they sure did not sound like other San Francisco bands like Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. The Flamin’ Groovies were more like power pop.
