DARRELL LOMBARD & LOMBARD ST was always Kicking!
DARRELL LOMBARD & LOMBARD ST -Anthology V1 ALBUM Song List
A Reflection Back in Time
Darrell Lombard and his unique mixed raced funky and talented band was hot and controversial in that this band and bond from this group of artists consisted of players of black and white descent when it was still controversial to do so in the late 1960s to early 1970s. When bands like The Average White Band, and The Doobie Brothers, were also making their mark, Darrell and his great group of artists were doing the same thing under the radar in the great NW. This was when record labels were suppressing bands and artists that could compete and distract from the products and bands that were being pushed during that time on their labels.
But bands like Lombard Steet did exist. You just were not informed. And these cool venues in the early 1970s -1980s were frequented by some of the greats and local connoisseurs alike.
Now you know...
