Vanaf 1967 blazen Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen aldaar ook hun partijtje mee, maar het wordt pas echt wat als de band verhuist naar San Francisco, Californi\u00eb.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Commander Cody \u2013 echte naam George Frayne \u2013 <!--more-->heeft een uitgebreide band om zich heen verzameld, met daarin zanger Billy C. Farlow, op pedalsteel The West Virginia Creeper, op gitaar en trombone Bill Kirchen en nog zo wat jongens op gitaar, bas en drums. De Commander zelf honkytonkt op de piano. Met overduidelijk plezier, een goed glas wijn en een fikse joint storten de countryhippies zich op hun debuutplaat <i>Lost in the Ozone<\/i> op ouderwetse jaren-50-country, getuige covers van Claude Grays <em>Family Bible<\/em>, Ronnie Selfs <em>Home in My Hand<\/em>, Johnny Bonds <em>Hot Rod Lincoln<\/em> en Eddie Cochrans <em>20 Flight Rock<\/em>. Commander Cody zelf laat zich compositorisch ook niet onbetuigd in country-and-roll-songs als <em>Lost in the Ozone<\/em>, <em>Back To Tennessee<\/em>, <em>Wine Do Yer Stuff<\/em> en de tearjerker <em>Seeds and Stems (Again)<\/em>. Ter verhoging van de algehele feestvreugde zijn de laatste drie tracks live opgenomen. Ja, met Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen kun je wel een feestje bouwen \u2013 en met die psychedelische hippie-hoes onder je arm kun je je overal vertonen.<\/p>\n<p>Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen timmeren na het debuut in 1971 nog fijn aan de weg met albums als <i>Hot Licks, Cold Steel &amp; Truckers Favorites <\/i>(1972), <i>Country Casanova <\/i>(1973) en het sfeervolle live-album <i>Deep in the Heart of Texas <\/i>(1974).
