American Southern Rock band, with members of The Flying Burrito Brothers. Pat Robinson started his career at age 15 by writing and singing his own songs. He signed his first recording contract with Four Star Productions with his band Fenwyck. They recorded an album at American Recording Studio with legendary producer Richie Podolor (Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf). After some personnel changes, Fenwyck changed their name to Back Pocket. They signed a recording contract with Del-Fi Records/Allied Records with established producer Bob Keane (Richie Valens, Sam Cooke, Bobby Fuller Four) and recorded the album "Back Pocket”. Following its release, the band toured the United States and Europe for several years. Back Pocket then signed with Joyce Records and recorded the album "Buzzard Bait”.

Thought I'd give this a spin, although I have some reservations. My curiosity surrounds the production of Richie Podolor, as well as the inclusion of an instrument called a 'symphonizer." Overall, the instrumentation on this, and artwork too remind me of another obscure band from this same period that hailed form Colorado called 'The Arthur Gee-Whizz Band." They were a unique sort of a hybrid - country rock with progressive rock overtones. And they were produced by Bill Szymczyk (whose name I still can't pronounce). Thanks Carlos.
