For our Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast, we know that there are only a few songs that have captured the contradictions and ambiguities of the 1960s as memorably as  “California Dreamin’,” the iconic folk music single that catapulted  the Mamas &amp; the Papas into rock and roll history. In the book, All the Leaves Are Brown, our guest today, author Scott Shea will tell us how John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips, and “Mama Cass” Elliot became standard-bearers for California counterculture following their transformation from folk music wannabes to rock sensations and chronicling the tumultuous events that followed their unexpected success. Scott Shea gives us a definitive account of  the Mamas and the Papa’s short time together, from their hitmaking approach with legendary producer Lou Adler to John Phillips’ unique songwriting to tours and friendships with other musicians riding the folk-rock wave.

#724 All The Leaves Are Brown - The Mamas and The Papas - Scott Shea

This episode is very personal to me. My guest for this show is my brother, Scott Shea. He’s written an in-depth biography of The Mamas and The Papas. But don’t think he’s on just because he’s my brother. There’s no nepotism on this podcast! It’s really a fascinating read. And Scott road to getting it published is a true DIY story.The book gives the backstory for all four members of The Mamas and The Papas and how they met. There is so much detail and stories that I’ve never heard; like how much of a juvenile delinquent John Phillips was and just how toxic he and Michelle were together. There’s the unrequited love of Cass Elliot for Denny Doherty and their band, The Mugwumps claim to fame. I had no idea that when Denny joined up with John to play in the pre Mamas and Papas band, The New Journeymen, he thought it was taking a step backwards from the rock and roll he wanted to play. But he had bills to pay. There’s also John’s ridiculous reasons for not wanting Cass Elliot in the band, and they may not be what you think.Scott’s book, All The Leaves Are Brown, How The Mamas And The Papas Came Together And Broke Apart, is available through Backbeat Books. Follow Scott @scottsheaauthor on Facebook, Instagram, &amp; Twitter. Follow the podcast @PerformanceAnx on Instagram &amp; Twitter, Performance Anxiety on Facebook. You can send a cup of coffee through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety. Merch is available at performanceanx.threadless.com.
