MORNING
JAY LEWIS, BARRY BROWN, JIM HOBSON, JIM KEHN, CHRIS DARROW
STUART BROTMAN, TERRY JOHNSON
Formed following the demise of Moorpark Intersection.
A fine Los Angeles-based group, originally known as The Morning and The Evening.
The group was formed after Jay Lewis, also known as Jay Donnellan, had been fired from Love by Arthur Lee.
Jim Hobson also appeared on Love's Out Here. When the band signed a recording contract with Vault
they retained complete control of the writing, engineering, arranging and producing of their first album,
which is an underrated folk-influenced gem. It has a crisp, yet often sleepy sound.
The album closes with a ninety second country gem Dirt Roads (the only track writetn by Jim Kehn)
which is worthy of comparison with the title track of Quicksilver's Happy Trails........

...The line-up then changed, Bruce Wallace being replaced by the former Kaleidoscope
member Stuart Brotman and Terry Johnson only playing on one track.
Vault was bought by Fantasy (United Artists in UK) and the follow-up
Struck Like Silver continues in similar vein, though the drug-influenced sleepiness
has made way for a more acoustic sound epitomised in Only To Say Goodnight
and Now I Lay Me Down. Understand My Ways on Side two particularly highlights Jay Lewis'
harmonious vocals and Jim Hobson's melodic piano work,
whilst Comin' In Love features Chris Darrow (another ex-Kaleidoscope) on fiddle.
Jay's Movie Song is a beautiful instrumental while Now I Lay Me Down and Hoyt Axton's Never Been To Spain
merge more sensitive guitar work with artistic piano playing.
When the group broke up, Jim Hobson and Jay Lewis became session musicians and worked
with Delaney Bramlett, Country Joe, Danny O'Keefe...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)
