Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Royal Sons came out of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. Their music had a folk and blues feel that seemed to come straight from the neighborhood around them. Jack Powers wrote most of their songs, with Tim Broderick on guitar and Mark Cohen on bass.
Their 1969 song 'Lower East Side Blues' became their best-known track. It had a melancholy sound that caught the mood of the city at that time. Other songs like 'Run To Me' and 'Sixteen' showed the same straightforward, unpolished approach.
They put out a few albums through the 1970s, including 'Blood on the Tracks' in 1972 and 'Ghosts of the City' in 1976. The band didn't last through the decade, but that 1969 song kept finding listeners long after they were gone.
