MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW Aug 24, 2025 #328

*Apart from the track attached to my opening...our first song tonight is from 1966.  It saw the formation of a most excellent band and their eponymous debut album...one that had a bit of band member concern.  They were not really pleased that the album, the production did not capture their on-stage energy and excitement.  12 songs on the album were written, 6 each, by two of the members.  Name the band...
 
*This great 60's group started in 1965 and broke up initially in 1968.  One of the key individuals embarked on a solo career and while quite talented, never produced a charting album or single during that short term.  The label was bent on marketing the solo effort like they did the group from which she came. They did not do the artist any favors in that regard.   Name the band and the artist that went solo....
 
*If ever there was a short list of working-class rock 'n' roll artists...this gent could possibly claim the title of father of the group.  Some cling to a theory that the artist never really got just dues or exposure, but the 6 albums released from 1976-1991 sailed well past platinum status.  A Greatest Hits compilation album even earned some 'rare air' distinction...Diamond certification which is 10x Platinum.  Name the artist...
 
*Probably difficult to believe, but the remnants of this most excellent 60's formed band wanted to create a new album in the late 90's.  The difficulty came that incredibly, no label would take them on, citing drastic artistic slumps.
Well, the artists had the means to record in studio out of their own pockets.  The result?  A 1999 album some critics claimed didn't rival their earlier works...but don't let that fool anyone.  The quartet lived on!  Name the band...
 
Feeling like a bonus 'deep' trivia question might be in order.  I'll truly applaud any who know this one!...
This female artist originally from Southern Ohio didn't sign a record deal until the age of 37.  Her first album released in 1999...the result of finally moving to Nashville and tapping into a bit of the country vibe there, put her on a path for a noteworthy career. She's got a bit of country, rock and pop that define her music.  Name the artist...
