Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen were a long-haired, flannel-wearing, good-time party band that got started in the late '60s. What set them apart from the majority of other bands at the time was they had more in common with old Bob Wills records than anything Jimi Hendrix ever recorded. They were a damn good bar band and one of the few from that era who could play at both political rallies and the honky tonk down the street. These 15 tunes include cover versions of Western swing classics like "Hot Rod Lincoln," "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)," and "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar," along with countryfied originals that hippies loved like "Stems and Seeds." The music Commander Cody and his boys recorded during the hippie era remains timeless, unlike, say, the first Country Joe & the Fish record.
