Wayne Berry - Tails Out (2025) [Hi-Res]

Wayne Berry was in L.A. in the mid to late 60's, attempting to put together a singer/songwriter deal. A&M signed him for some demos, at least one of which was released, but evidently that deal didn't last. He hung out with a few songwriters and attempted some collaborations, the one of note being with the post-We The People and pre-Cowboy Tommy Talton. They shopped a few songs and had songs cut, but nothing ever came of that.

Berry ran into a bunch of people in L.A. (Notably George S. Clinton) and formed Timber, who released two albums, the first, Part of What You Hear, on Kapp (co-produced by Joni Mitchell's ace producer Henry Lewy) and Bring America Home on Elektra (produced by ex-Don & The Goodtimes and Touch guru Don Galucci). Neither album went anywhere, though Berry's touch as songwriter led to the solo contract with RCA.
