Jeannie Piersol is one of the enigmas of the mid-1960s San Francisco rock scene. Though little known, the distinctive singer emerged from the same community to the south of San Francisco that nurtured the principals of the Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Big Brother and other enabling constituents of the city’s future rock meritocracy.
Despite healthy airplay, neither of Jeannie’s two singles managed to make any commercial headway and she would soon leave the rock scene behind. Nevertheless, a growing cabal of collectors, DJs and indie rockers have discovered the delights of tracks the slow burning, entrancing ‘The Nest’, the rousing Airplane-like ‘Gladys’, or the fuzzed-out dancefloor fave ‘Your Sweet Inner Self.’
Piersol’s brief but fascinating 1960s career is anthologized for the first time on High Moon’s The Nest, which features her two sought after singles and various other studio outtakes from Chicago and Los Angeles.
The tracklist also features material by the rarely heard San Francisco rock groups that Jeannie fronted: Hair (featuring Darby Slick) and The Yellow Brick Road, the latter represented by live recordings from the Matrix.
