First Lady Down ...Jimmy Travis Band #eagles good music #neilyoung shockingly

The Jimmy Travis Band (rock, country rock, soft rock) began as group of American expatriates living in Berlin. You see we discovered that there you could live there from music alone. I moved to London to work on an album for Warner Brothers. John Vaughan was U.S. Army brat who grew up in Germany. Francis Serafini is from Rhode Island and I found him in a Berlin club playing solo gigs. Trevor Cooper is from London and he agreed to put together a duo for club dates. Hansi is our drummer and the only German member of our group. I loved playing with these guys seeing how they were some of the best songwriters in Europe. Our life style included sleeping until 5 pm and getting coffee. Then we went to work writing songs we could play in the clubs that night. Berlin was heaven for musicians. We wrote songs and played in the clubs, usually three clubs a night. We did TV and radio. We toured western Europe out of Berlin. But in the end I guess you could say we did it for the music and the blondes. The group's genres are country, country rock soft rock. Our influences are Roy Orbison, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Byrds, The Everly Brothers, Gene Clark and The Eagles. #eagles shockingly #neilyoung good
