MUSIC QUIZ FROM LOONEY’S TUNES SHOW June 28, 2026 #366

*Conceived as a blues revivalist group specializing in excavating pre-(Vietnam) war gems, this band anchored their authentic inclinations with a heavy boogie that more than satisfied the hippie era.  With an ear for blues classics, they had a knack for droning blues jams that made them ideal for both the Monterey Pop and Woodstock Music festivals.  Name the band...
 
*If you're a fan of this American legendary Bay Area artist, you know he was anything but predictable.  Significant music business issues galore and a sputtering solo career that involved all kinds of starts and stops weighed pretty heavily on his fan base who despite it all, stayed loyal.  His music...a model of simplicity and modesty...name the artist...
 
*We'll enjoy a track from a band that never stopped working, persevering through good and bad times.  The 2010's wound up as something of a latter-day renaissance for the group, as they found a familiar groove with a member's son turned regular drummer.  This band formed in 1973 in Illinois and are still at it today.  Name the band...
 
*Perhaps you remember how you were first introduced to the music of this west coast band, but I'm thinking it might not be the first song on their opening 1971 album, one that only a handful of West Coast Hippies actually bought.  But if it is, you'll enjoy that track this evening.  Name the band now into a 6th decade of most excellent entertainment...
