Reviews Customer Reviews for Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen      Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen      Rating:      This Album is an excellant eclectic mix of country and swing tunes from the past. I first heard this album when it came out, and it is still one of the best examples of this type of music. Billy C. Farlow,(not listed on the cover) is the best singer of old-time country music. This album , and Joe Jackson's work in this area, are the best music of this type.     Customer Reviews for Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen Cd      The Ol' Commander at his prime      Rating:      I recently saw The Commander Cody Band in an intimate bar setting in Sausalito, CA and it brought back a flood of happy memories of the music he's produced over his long career (which really got off the ground right across the bay in Berkeley in the late 60's). Like most, I used to have this album on vinyl, but came back from the show and ordered a couple of his classics "Tales From the Ozone" and "Lost Planet Airmen" to add to a couple of others of his I already had on CD. In this day of prepackaged groups and formula sounds, the music is altogether refreshing. It's also nostalgic, bringing back memories of a special time in my life. When Airmen was recorded in 1974, George Frayne, a.k.a. Commander Cody, had put together an accomplished group of musicians and his new label, WB, brought a new dimension to their dynamics with state of the art engineering. Each song has a life of its own, but they all seem to blend together perfectly; from the Carribean influenced "Southbound" to the truck drivin' "California Okie" and rockin' boogie of "Don't Let Go" and "Boogie Man Boogie", even the subtle country ballad "Devil and Me" (written by the band) and the classic, "Willin". Besides this exceptional music, I was much relieved that the original 30's era Flash Gordon-esque comic book illustration was still on the cover (I didn't even recognize the one on the Amazon preview).
