Terry Dolan

"In 1971, San Francisco-based folk-rocker Terry Dolan created such appropriately seismic tremors in the locale with the demo of his song Inlaws And Outlaws that it, unofficially, became a No 1 hit on local radio station KSAN. A deal with Warners was rapidly secured, and Dolan entered the studio with sideman-to-the-stars Nicky Hopkins in the production throne, plus a redoubtable session band of Bay Area luminaries (including John Cipollina, The Pointer Sisters, drummer Prairie Prince and erstwhile Jefferson Airplane percussionist Spencer Dryden). Four tracks in, the project foundered when Hopkins was called away indefinitely on Rolling Stones surrogacy. Pete Sears inherited the production pantaloons, but Warners suddenly cooled on the deal, cancelled the album and dropped Dolan from the label, shamefully without even telling him ... Forty-three long years later, Dolan's album has finally emerged, supplemented by a hoard of alternate takes, staggeringly comprehensive linernotesand first-hand reminiscences from the personnel involved".

"Tragically, Dolan was crushed by Warner's actions, and rarely made it beyond America with his subsequent band, Terry & The Pirates. Four decades on, however, his neglected folk-rock classic serves as a long overdue, stirring eulogy. As Dolan himself sings, "See what your love can do?"".
