Seeds

Time to go back to the mid 90's. Ah such a glorious time. This time around we focus on a band that is really to me a one hit wonder kind of band. A band that most people have forgotten about I'm sure, so lets all fondly remember Brother Cane.

The name alone may conjure up a faint memory. If not the band may best be known for their hit track "And Fools Shine On". The band hails from Birmingham Alabama and started out in '90. It wasn't until '95 and their second album 'Seeds' that anyone seemed to take notice. The bands sound was a mixture of Grunge/Punk/Hard Rock. The band become a small hit on the Modern Rock Radio stations, but by '98 the band called it a day. A small reunion in '05 followed before a somewhat return to the scene in '11. 'Seeds' to me was a bit overlooked. The record starts out real strong with some decent track, but kinda loses some steam as it progresses. The album did peak at #184 on The Billboard 200. It seemed the band was poised to breakthrough, but it never really happened. Music fans may recognize Brother Cane's frontman/guitarist Damon Johnson. Damon toured with Alice Cooper for a number of years before joining Thin Lizzy full time. Thin Lizzy of course went on to retire the name and be reborn as Black Star Riders. After seeing Thin Lizzy a few years back, Johnson more than pulls his weight in the band and makes a fine fit. So enjoy a one hit band and fondly recall the glory days of the mid 90's.
