DEWEY MARTIN
with BILL DARNELL, PETE BRADSTREET, BUDDY EMMONS, RANDY FULLER,
STEVEN LEFEVER, HARVEY KAGEN, TERRY GREGG
...He was mainly looking to play country-rock, however, and in the spring of 1966, was invited to join a group calling themselves the Herd.
They were soon to become better known as Buffalo Springfield. Martin remained with the band until they dissolved in May 1968.....
.....Martin recruited guitarist Bob ("B.J.") Jones, and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Joey Newman and they decided on a new name, Blue Mountain Eagle.
Atco Records signed the group, but in July of 1969, before recording their album, Martin left for a solo deal with UNI Records.
He formed Dewey Martin and Medicine Ball, with lead guitarist Billy Darnell, keyboard player/vocalist Peter Bradstreet,
steel guitarist Buddy Emmons, and bassist Harvey Kagen (ex-Sir Douglas Quintet). They cut several tracks in November 1969,
credited only to Martin, and began recording an album in April 1970. Kagen left before the sessions were over, and was replaced
by Stephen Lefever, and then by Fuller (who had quit Blue Mountain Eagle), moving over to guitar after bassist Terry Gregg joined.
Bruce Palmer also helped out during the recording of Dewey Martin & Medicine Ball.
Despite positive reviews, the group were soon dropped from UNI

Most rock fans know that after Buffalo Springfield broke up, three of its members -- Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and Richie Furay -- went
on to record numerous notable records, in bands and as solo artists, in which they figured strongly as talented singer/songwriters.
It's far less known that the other two members of the original band, drummer Dewey Martin and bassist Bruce Palmer, also
continued to make records, both releasing LPs as solo artists in the early '70s. As Martin (unlike Palmer) had a respectable voice,
one might think he was better positioned to make a go of it under his own name than his old rhythm-section partner,
if not nearly as well equipped for solo stardom as Young, Stills, or Furay. In all frankness, however, the 1970 album
Dewey Martin & Medicine Ball is not an overlooked nugget, though it's far more polished and song-oriented
than Palmer's legendarily uncommercial The Cycle Is Complete. Bruce Palmer is heard on acoustic guitar,
also writing the folk-raga instrumental "Recital Palmer" -- which, since it doesn't have any drumming behind
its lone acoustic guitar, is presumably an actual Bruce Palmer solo track (and actually one of the best cuts)...(AllMusic)
