“FRIENDS & FAMILY”
Firefall Co-Founder Jock Bartley Has The Story:
“The ‘concept’ of this album is unique and exciting. Many of the original FIREFALL band members – Rick Roberts, Jock Bartley, Mark Andes, Michael Clarke, Larry Burnett & David Muse – had played and would play in other famous bands (The Byrds, Flying Burrito Bros., Spirit, Dan Fogelberg, Heart, Gram Parsons). In 1976-77 FIREFALL played on tour & got to be friends with many top bands of the day; Doobie Bros., Loggins & Messina, The Band (!!), Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshal Tucker and others.
“FRIENDS & FAMILY” album is FIREFALL in 2023 respectfully and lovingly re-creating those other band’s songs, honoring those bands and that amazing time in American music: the late 1960s and 1970s!! FIREFALL is honored and thankful to have played a small role in that fantastic musical era.”
