Episode Details

First there were all the seminal, early folk outfits…then came The Mamas & The Papas…and now welcome to The Solo Years, where plenty of buried treasure and fascinating insanity awaits! (I’m lookin’ at you, John.)

In this special penultimate installment of Discograffiti’s without-precedent 16-hour interview, Michelle Phillips guests along with band biographer Richard Campbell (@richcbart) & creator/host Dave Gebroe as we put our heads & hearts together to explore & rate Michelle’s solo recording career.

We talk about:

• Every musical gesture she made after leaving The Mamas & The Papas;
• What it was like working with notorious wildman Jack Nitschze on her lone solo LP Victim Of Romance;
• And the last time she ever stepped in a recording studio, when she provided background vocals for what turned out to be a ubiquitous #1 smash hit!
