Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen (Vinyl, Warner Brothers Records, 1975) ***
Genre: Country
Places I remember: First two came from Real Groovy, third was from a second hand shop in Manchester.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Rock That Boogie (Country Casanova)
Gear costume: Smoke Smoke Smoke (That Cigarette)
Active compensatory factors: I have a soft spot for Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. They don't take themselves too seriously; they are a lot of fun; they boogie and they swing in a down home country way; they don't sound slick and polished - more like a garage band than a bunch of Nashville cats; and their album covers are a real hoot!

Each album is a rewarding experience. The second one here (actually their 4th studio album) sounds more honed, and Willin' is the perfect song for the boys to do.
Tales From the Ozone was their fifth studio album and the last one to feature most of the original lineup. It continues the varied approach - from Minnie The Moocher to The Band like Lightnin' Bar Blues.
Where do they all belong? That wraps up the Commander's albums. If you want a great sampler - Too Much Fun has all the high spots.
