Shiloh

Featuring a young Don Henley (of future stars The Eagles) on drums, alternative-country band Shiloh formed while they were still at college in the late sixties. In 1969 they met Kenny Rogers, who encouraged them to go to Los Angeles to record their self titled debut. Album highlights are found in three magnetic roots-rock numbers reminiscent of The Band: “Swamp River Country”, “Left My Gal In The Mountains” and “Simple Little Down Home Rock & Roll Love Song For Rosie”. While the three Henley-penned tracks - “I’m Gone”, “Same Old Story”, “God Is Where You Find Him” – would bear obvious resemblance to future Eagles material. A proto-Americana masterpiece finally resurfaced!
