Episode 47: 'One Way... Or Another' with Boone Froggett

Lauded as 'the American Led Zeppelin', the tale of American
rockers Cactus is the encapsulation of sex, drugs and rock 'n'
roll. On this edition of 'My Classic Album', Boone Froggett from
Kentucky rockers Otis introduces Mike to Cactus's second album
'One Way... Or Another'


Wild shows with singer Rusty Day arrested before the encore and
drug fuelled tours with the likes of Black Sabbath served as the
backdrop for the album sessions with 'One Way... Or Another'
playing a significant but underrated role in the development of
hard rock and metal in its early years.


Which legendary British singer was close to becoming the voice of
Cactus?


In what ways can Boone spot the influence of Eddie Kramer who
helped produce the album?


Is 'Big Mama Boogie Pts 1 & 2' one of the defining moments in
the storied career of drummer Carmine Appice?


 


PLUS: Enjoy music from Otis with their 2020 single
'Lyndales'. 


AND 50 years from the release of 'One Way... Or Another', hear
'Tightrope', the title track from the NEW Cactus studio album!


 


The legacy of Cactus comes full circle on a special episode of
'My Classic Album'
