Good news! The Steppenwolf box set, “The Epic Years 1974-1976”, is being released January 27, 2023!
Steppenwolf formed in ’67 in L.A. by John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Goldy McJohn (organ, piano) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). All members were formerly in The Sparrows. They were joined by Michael Monarch (lead guitar) and Rushton Moreve (bass).
In ’68, the band released “Born To Be Wild” and were launched into success (especially when the song was used in the classic ’69 film “Easy Rider”).
The band would go on to release eight albums over the next four years before ultimately disbanding (or some would say take a hiatus). They would get the band together in ’74, releasing another three albums by ’77.
