, died earlier this week at his Saratoga Springs, N.Y. home of esophageal cancer. He was 77 and his death was confirmed by former bandmate John Tichy.
Frayne, the frontman for the band Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, was a part of the late ’60s San Francisco music scene, but later became strongly associated with the burgeoning live music movement in Austin, Texas. The group used variations on Western swing, jump blues, rockabilly and boogie-woogie, inspiring the legions of roots-rock and Americana musicians to come.
Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen became something of a cult favorite during its ten year ride, doing more than 200 live shows a year in various bars and small venues. Their 1974 albumrecorded at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, was once ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 albums of all-time.and keep your inbox happy.
