431 - Susan Cowsill of the Cowsills - Reissued Global Album is Power Pop Masterpiece
Resilient is the best word that describes the Cowsills. The six sibling band hit in 1967 with "The Rain, the Park and Other Things," then with "Hair" in 1969. But, their career quickly derailed (chronciled in the excellent documentary Family Band). The group triumphantly returned with the excellent Rhythm of the World album in 2022.
But, there's more to the story. The group recorded an album in 1992 that never saw a proper release. Part of the reason....involves the FBI!
Now, over 30 years later, Omnivore Recordings has issued the album, Global, and it's fantastic. A power pop masterpiece. If you're a fan of artists like Matthew Sweet or the Gin Blossoms, you will definitely dig it.
We chat once again with Susan Cowsill, who talks about the crazy circumstances surrounding Global. Plus, she reveals plans for new Cowsill projects, and the annual Happy Together tour, coming to a city near you in the summer of 2025.
