The Cornells

Whatever interest this L.A. surf combo generates stems from the fact that future Moby Grape guitarist Peter Lewis was a member. Composed mostly of the sons of Hollywood actors (guitarist Bob Linkletter's dad, Art, being the most famous of these), they cut an extremely obscure LP and several singles for the tiny Garex label. Their cover-dominated repertoire was of routine, if instrumentally competent, quality, and Lewis was the only member destined to make a mark on rock history. ~ Richie Unterberger
