Background notes
Archive material and source history
Cat Mother & The All Night Newsboys came out of San Francisco in the late 1960s. They put out a debut album called 'The Street Gives Back' in 1969, followed by 'Arkansas' the next year. Their recordings included songs like 'Blue Suede Shoes' and 'Good old rock'n roll'.
Some of the people involved were guitarist John Fahey, who left in 1969, and bassist Peter Albin, who later played with Big Brother and the Holding Company. The existing history mentions a frontwoman called Cat Mother, also referred to as Polly Jean Harvey, and a guitarist named George Frayne, who is also called Cris Williamson. The details here are a bit tangled.
What's clearer is that they were part of that late-'60s San Francisco mix, and their albums show a range from blues to more experimental sounds. The rest of the story gets vague, with mentions of various pressures and difficulties that don't have much solid ground in the available information.
