Eli Radish Band

The Eli Radish Band were pioneers of "outlaw country" and "alt.country" music. Deana Adams said in her 2003 rock history book Rock 'n' roll and the Cleveland connection:

The group signed with Capitol Records in 1969 and released their only album I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier which featured updating of World War I & II era type patriotic/anti-war songs.

After recording for Capitol Records, then Olympia Records and even with rumors of a live concert still in the can at Sun Records, the group had disbanded by the late 1970s. However, various members still influence the entertainment business today:

Eli Radish founder and bassist Danny Sheridan has continued to compose and produce songs for David Crosby, Scarlet Rivera, actress Amy Madigan and other CD, TV and film projects. He helped to launch his then girlfriend Nina Blackwood's MTV career, and Sheridan continues to produce her national radio shows and oversee her SiriusXM career. He co-hosted a talk show on 97.1 KLSX-FM in Los Angeles and is a frequent speaker on various songwriter and music industry panels, often performing for charity events including Farm Aid and the Los Angeles Musician's Picnic. His own hard rock / blues based Bandaloo Doctors gave ex-wife Bonnie Bramlett’s career a comeback, and Sheridan has performed several acting parts on TV and in film.
