The Playboy | pt
Alias of Orlando Voorn .
This is a pretty good late period hard rock psych concept LP that few people know about. Poe originally were the Playboys of Edinburg, a McAllen Texas band who began releasing singles in 1965. The Playboys of Edinburg released 7 or 8 singles in various pop rock styles (garage, beat, folk-rock and hard rock) throughout the 1960’s and eventually relocated to Houston.
For this 1970/71 UNI release the Playboys of Edinburg changed their name to Poe and created this concept lp. Many of the songs were written and arranged by band members McCord and Williams. The album chronicles the life...
"Australian Playboys" was the name given to the Melbourne-spawned rock & roll band the Playboys, for their appearances and record releases outside of Australia, to avoid confusion with Gary Lewis's backing band "the Playboys." ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide .
