Pepper Tree - You're My People
(US Capitol ST-848 Stereo) 1971
An Excellent Psych Rock Album.
The Pepper Tree was the culmination of a handful
of bar bands in Nova Scotia, formed when drummer
Tim Garagan left his band Friends of The Family and
got together with guitarist Ritchie Richmond and
Lenny Brennan on bass when those two left
their previous group Lost Children in ‘67.
They soon augmented their sound with Tony Argent
as a second guitarist, ex of The Outcasts.
To set themselves apart from the rest they then persuaded
friend Bonnie Oulton to take on lead vocal duties.
Beginning with their first show in Hubbards, NS,
they honed their chops playing the bars and continued to
refine and diversify their sound when Argent was replaced
by keyboardist Bob Quinn and Doug Billard,
ex of Central Nervous System replaced Oulton on vocals in mid ‘68.
Developing an acid/psychadelic meets Partridge Family sound
unique to the area, they were noticed one night
by a talent scout who recommended they cut a demo
and send it to Capitol Records. The basement tape impressed
Capitol’s Wayne Paton enough he signed them to a deal in ‘69
and took them to Toronto’s Nimbus 9 Studios to work
with Jack Richardson (Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Guess Who).
Capitol only wanted original material, and they came out with
“Everywhere,” backed with “Mr Pride,” both written by Garagan.
Next up was “Shine Light Shine” and its b-side “Hometown Girl.”
Though neither single was a ’smash hit’, both charted and
impressed label execs enough they encouraged the band to
move to Toronto, closer to the studios and closer
to the obviously huger potential market. But some members were
unwilling to make the move, and the band was basically reinvented,
as Billard, Brennan and Richmond all stayed home.
Jim White, ex of Axis, who Billard had played with back home
on the coast with both Central Nervous System and Five Sounds was
friends with Garagan and Quinn and was now living in Toronto as well.
He agreed to be the new guitarist. And after Cornerbrook,
NFLD native Chris Brockway answered an ad to fill
in the bass position, the next phase of the band was set.
With Capitol confident enough in the band’s ability, Garagan took
on the lead vocal chores, and they made their mark on
the Ontario circuit and moved to Alliston, ON in 1970.
Paton convinced them to drop ‘The’ from their name,
and they began writing material for an album and brought back
Jack Richardson when they went into RCA’s Toronto studios.
YOU’RE MY PEOPLE was released the next summer,
which ran the gamut of psychadelic and pop sounds.
Garagan was the chief songwriter, contributing on or writing
himself all but Quinn’s “How Many Times.”
The album featured the nearly six-minute live favourite “Airplane”
complete with an organ solo, and the album’s two singles,
“Try” and the title track, with its melancholy “From A Candle”
as the b-side. The album was released Stateside in the spring of ‘71,
after White left the group. American copies actually mistakenly
credited new guitarist Joel Zemel, a Halifax native, as the guitarist.
Not totally satisfied with the band, Capitol urged the band to
pick up a new frontman, and Matt Minglewood, formerly of
Universal Power and a fellow Maritimer was brought in on guitars
and lead vocalist. But his tenure was short,
and left to form Cold Duck before year’s end.
His replacement, Terry Hatty, also had a short stay in the band
and was also gone after only a few months,
putting Garagan back again as lead vocalist.
