Filed under: Twisted Tales They wanted to be the American Beatles , but they ended up playing second fiddle to the Partridge Family . In the messy 1960s, the family members known as the Cowsills stood out for their well-scrubbed image. They got their start in Canton, Ohio, when schoolboys Bill and Bob received a four-string guitar as a homecoming gift from their father, Bud, a Navy man who'd been away at sea. The boys made their first appearance [...]

Okay, just because we had a little bit of a speed bump thrown in to the beginning of our week here at WSIBTW HQ, you didn't think we were gonna let that throw us, did you? Far from it, friends — this week we've got a bodacious batch of new releases for you to snap up. You'll find a couple of old favorites returning to the front lines here, but we're keeping things fresh with a relative upstart act with an idiosyncratic edge, and a lost classic brought back to blissful life. So dig in! [...]
Susan Cowsill has left the rain, the park and other things far behind.
This week we're going to double up our reviews of old records and run a few more of these features than usual, all to help promote Record Store Day , which is Saturday. Independent record stores are dying on the vine, on this day (at least) go on out and show 'em that you love them by purchasing some vinyl. A few of us are lucky enough to live in a place where there are a handful of record stores - the one I'm going to on Saturday (Houston's Cactus Records [...]
Susan Cowsill zit al een levenlang in de muziek. Toen ze zeven jaar oud was maakte ze deel uit van The Cowsills , de band van haar vijf broers en moeder. The Cowsills hadden vooral in de USA hits met bijvoorbeeld The Rain, the Park and Other Things. Maar nog belangrijker is dat The Cowsills model stonden voor de Partridge Family. Na The Cowsills maakte ze wat solo-werk, maar maakte toch vooral naam als zangeres naast Dwight Twilley, Jules Shear en Hootie & The Blowfish. Vanaf 1994 maakt Susan deel uit van de Continental Drifters en met [...]
MUSIC NEWS - Susan Cowsill has announced the release of her second solo album, Lighthouse (out May 18, 2010 via Threadhead Records). Her new set is said to once again embody the timeless qualities of heart, soul and craft that are already known to those familiar with Cowsills solo debut Just Believe It . Susan, you may know, first entered the pop-culture music spotlight at the age of eight, as the youngest member of the 60s musical family the Cowsills . Since then, in adulthood, she [...]

I never thought I'd be recommending a Cowsills album here on the Storm but I guess stranger things have happened. II x II is considered the group's finest album along with 1968's We Can Fly. This lp was a concious attempt to get away from the Cowsills pop image and create something a bit more original and experimental. I think they succeeded marvelously as II x II is a great folk-rock album that saw the band writing more mature, reflective material. Unlike a lot of sunshine pop groups, the Cowsills could actually play their own instruments. They did [...]

I forgot to do a Monday morning mini-mix this week, and I was inspired by the originals mix I posted last week with Cover Me, I'm Goin' In - so I thought I'd share this, a handful of tunes I hadn't heard in YEARS until I started digging through old songs for last week's mix. I bet you know all the words too. Spiral Starecase - " More Today Than Yesterday " (from More Today Than Yesterday ) The Cowsills - " The [...]
