Biography

Longbranch Pennywhistle was a country rock and folk music group featuring Glenn Frey and JD Souther. They originally performed as "John David & Glenn," but when they added bass player David Jackson, they were encouraged to come up with a new name. Frey suggested "Longbranch," Souther came up with "Pennywhistle," and the names were merged at the suggestion of manager Doug Weston. They released a self-titled album in 1969 under Jimmy Bowen's Amos Records label. Frey had made the migration from Detroit to California and Souther from Amarillo, Texas and were adapting to what would become the California sound. When the Amos Records label dissolved in 1971 the group had already disbanded the year prior. (From Wikipedia)
