BRYNDLE
Bryndle was an American folk-rock band first formed in the late 1960s in Los Angeles. The original lineup consisted of singer-songwriters Andrew Gold, Karla Bonoff, Kenny Edwards (founding member of The Stone Poneys), and Wendy Waldman. In 1970, Bryndle recorded sessions for an album for A&M Records, but only one track, Bonoff’s “Woke Up This Morning”, was released as a single, briefly becoming a regional hit in northern California but failing to win a wider audience. In the early 1990s, Bryndle re-formed with its original quartet of Bonoff, Gold, Edwards and Waldman. In 1995, their newly recorded debut album, Bryndle, was released, and the band began a tour of the U.S. and Japan. (More from Wikipedia)
As I have said many times before, Wendy Waldman – only the second entry in this series that is now approaching a total of 40 – is the biggest surprise so far as to someone who has yet to get an article in Wikipedia. If you type her name into Wikipedia, you are directed to Bryndle; they are a band composed of several well known LA musicians (at least by now) who were together in the late 1960’s but didn’t actually release an album until 1995. By then, Wendy Waldman had already released 7 solo albums.
