Eddie was born in Boston and formed a ragtime music duo with Joe Hutchinson, calling themselves TWO GUYS FROM BOSTON. They then morphed into a full fledged rock group called the BAIT SHOP. The name was changed in 1968 to BO GRUMPUS. Eddie was then invited to join bassist/producer Jim Mason to play guitar and co-produce Noel Paul Stookey's first solo album. While working with Stookey Eddie was introduced to JOHN LENNON in what proved to be the most productive musical era of his life. He joined John and Yoko on tour (including a 1971 performance at New York City's famous Apollo Theater that would later be included on Lennons 1998 retrospective "ANTHOLOGY") and this association with Lennon led to session work with Apple recording artist David Peel in 1972.
Finally, his first solo album, NO TURNING AROUND, on MCA Records, produced by Stookey was released in 1973, featuring a wide range of guest artists including Pappalardi, Jimmy Nolls (later to be one of the original members of Sea Level) and jazz baritone saxiphonist great Gerry Mulligan. As testimony to its classic longevity and Eddies global appeal, the album was re-released in Japan in 2001.
In June of 1974, Eddie rejoined John Lennon as a session musician to record Lennon's WALLS & BRIDGES, then again in 1975 for the ROCK n ROLL recording sessions. Both albums have been certified as Gold albums by the RIAA. Selections from these recordings were also included on Lennon's compilation album SHAVED FISH, which has been certified as a Platinum Recording.
A great record to add to your collection. Record is very good to excellent.
Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
