Author's Note

Baby Ricochet
Mazzy Star were a 90's era band from California. Their main musical influences were The Velvet Underground, The Doors and old school country western, most notably Merle Haggard and Loretta Lynn. They only put out three CD's and their Velvet Underground influence was far to heavy for them to count as an "original" or trend setting band such as the Pixies, The Smiths or Joy Division. Mazzy Star, none the less, had such a distinct sound quality to their work once you heard them you'd never forget it. They had a minor Radio hit with "Fade Into You." A slow, sad quasi country strung out on heroin tune that was distinctly Mazzy Star. Hope Sandoval went on with a sputtering solo career and I don't know what happened to the rest of the band. If they reform I don't care where the gig is I'm going. You with me Corset?
