Odyssey (1972) |
redtelephone66 » 60s & 70s Psych & Psuch Odyssey were a Folk,
Funk and Soul group that featured Warner “Doc” Schwebke (bass), Donnie Dacus (guitar),Royce Jones (vocals) and Don Peake (guitar). Other members included Billy Pierce (vocals), Gene Pello (drums) and Kathleen Warren (vocals-vibes-electric piano-piano).
Schwebke began his career in the early 1960′s playing for several Eugene, Oregon rock bands including the The Sires then made his way to San Francisco in 1966 playing the coffeehouse circuit gigging with the likes of Billy Roberts of “Hey Joe” fame. After a stint with The West Coast Blues Band, Schwebke headed to Los Angeles and became a studio bass player for MoWest, Barry Gordy’s west coast Motown outlet.
During this time, he appeared on network television with
Bonnie Bramblett in a show called “Live Concert”. Perhaps the biggest artist he played with at MoWest was Barry White During this period, he then found himself playing for an early, pioneering band known as Odyssey, which recorded an under appreciated (at the time) album that stretched and honed his creative abilities as a songwriter and player. That band had a contract with a small label, but couldn’t hold it together waiting for that big break to happen. During the 70′s, Doc played for many artists including touring with Tobias Wood Henderson in Texas , the Stephen Stills Band in California and eventually hooking up with the Bonnie Bramblett group. He also found himself working with Donnie Dacus who was then playing for Stephen Stills and later with work the the band Chicago. Doc collaborated with Donnie to write songs for both groups. The platinum selling albums “Illegal Stills” by Stills and “Hot Streets” by Chicago both included songs that Doc helped pen. Dacus began in a teenage band called The Shux, in honor of Jimi Hendrix. In 1966, the band played at a Mardi Gras[ in Fort Worth, Texas. After graduating from Cleburne High, Dacus left the band to record with another band, (see November 23, 2010 post). Dacus played guitar on ’s 1976 album, “Slippin’ Away”. He also worked on Crosby, Stills, and Nash’s CSN album, doing background vocals and playing rhythm guitar. A few years later, he teamed up with Stephen Stills for several projects. On Stills Dacus has two writing credits, and on Illegal Stills he is featured prominently. In 1978, Dacus was cast as Woof, a supporting character in the movie Hair, and about the same time, jazz-rock band Chicago selected him as a replacement guitarist and vocalist after the death of Terry Kath. His debut with Chicago (Hot Streets) went to #12 and platinum, but not without controversy amongst the fans. Dacus also was in the lineup for Chicago 13,which was the least commercially successful of the band’s albums to that point.
After the 1979 tour in support of Chicago 13, Dacus was dropped from the band for undisclosed reasons. Chicago used session guitarists for Chicago XIV, then added guitarist Chris Pinnick as a full-blown member following his studio work on Chicago 16. In 1982 Dacus resurfaced, joining Badfinger for a tour, and in the late 80s, he was involved in the Broadway musical Cats. Royce Jones is a Grammy-winning American musician best known for his work as a touring vocalist with the bands Steely Dan (in 1973) and Ambrosia (joined 1978). Royce Jones is now in The Royce Jones band also formally a member of eight piece horn band called .
He also worked with]The Platters. Don Peake is a multi-talented musician who has worked as a guitarist, arranger, record producer, and film music composer. Starting his professional musical career as a guitarist in 1961, Peake’s talent was recognized early when he toured as lead guitarist with the [ Everly Brothers at the age of 21, playing in the U.S. and Europe for two years. Peake established himself as a recording musician, and played for many of the legendary performers under Phil Spector’s production including The Righteous Brothers –“You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”, Ike and Tina Turner – ” River Deep Mountain High”, as well as recording with Mahalia Jackson, Billy Preston, Cannonball Adderly, Marvin Gaye, and Diana Ross. In 1964, Peake became the first white guitarist to play with the Ray Charles Orchestra, touring with Charles, and recording with him for ten years. During that time, Peake studied guitar with Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass, three legendary guitarists. Peake became one of the premiere session guitarists in Los Angeles, recording for Jan and Dean, The Mamas and the Papas, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and many
others. Don was inducted into an elite group of musicians led by drummer Hal Blaine known as “The Wrecking Crew“. He played lead guitar for Marvin Gaye (Let’s Get It On), and on all the Jackson Five]’s original hits, “ABC”, “I Want You Back”, etc. Don was on the Commodores, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, The Temptations, and many more Motown Artists’ records as a Staff Guitarist for Motown Records. It was during his tenure at Motown that he joined in the Odyssey sessions. Peake also played on John Lennon’s records that Phil Spector produced, and on all of Barry White’s hit records, some of which he arranged.
On all of the records that Don Peake has made, he has been a major creative contributor. (J.J. Hildreth)
