Bryndle



One of the most influential yet little known groups in America was Bryndle. This group consisted of 4 singer/songwiters from California: Kenny Edwards, Karla Bonoff, Andrew Gold and Wendy Waldman. They originally formed in the late '60s and have broken up and re-united at least twice since. Kenny Edwards  passed away in an untimely manner last year and now sadly with the passing of Andrew Gold earlier this month the last hopes of another reunion have been totally dashed. The 2 girls are still going strong and are among my favorite solo artists. To get a better handle on the band's history and influence than I could ever convey, please read Wendy's moving tribute at:

The title link at the head of this post will also take you to a photo tribute to the guys and if you continue on to their website you'll find a number of free downloads so you can enjoy both their collective and solo efforts. Click on the SOUND CLIPS entry. Happy listening!
