Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love.  Part 17 covers a fifteen year period (from the late 1970s to the early 1990s) during which the wild choices Arthur made in his life overshadowed his music as a priority…and yet still somehow made him no less fascinating. Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Arthur’s less than triumphant reunion with Bryan MacLean for a one-off live show; The unfortunate double function his bandmates at the time may have served, to Arthur’s probable detriment; Arthur finally exhumes the sole outtake from Forever Changes and commits it to wax; Inarguably the worst remake from Arthur’s back catalog, a misfire on a level almost incomprehensibly misguided; The arrests start to pile up; Arthur starts taking business advice from mobsters; Enter Baby Lemonade; And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off 1981’s Arthur Lee and 1992’s Arthur Lee And Love.
