"Fans can look forward to hearing those songs - and so many other favorites - when Three Dog Night performs Sept. 14 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Little River Band, the author of such splendid numbers as "Help Is on Its Way" and "Cool Change" (possibly the finest Yacht Rock tune ever recorded), is also on the bill. Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets start at $90.05, mountainwinery.com."
"I do my homework. I want to get the tone. I do a lot of radio stuff. Generally, it's guys who are ready to do their attack on you or they are the happy, crazy morning guys. You've got to get your energy set up for the person you are going to talk to, I think."
"We spoke of Jerry Garcia and Elton John - spent plenty of time on the subject of his dear ol' pal Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys - and touched upon his days working with such punk acts of X and Fear. He even mentioned that he'd read my recent interview with Robby Krieger of The Doors."
Danny Hutton recalls encounters with musical figures including Jerry Garcia, Elton John, and Brian Wilson, and remembers working with punk acts X and Fear. He defends Three Dog Night's importance despite not writing songs, crediting the band's arrangements for turning compositions by Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and Hoyt Axton into massive hits. Three Dog Night will perform Sept. 14 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga with Little River Band; showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets start at $90.05 via mountainwinery.com. Hutton prepares thoroughly for media engagements and calibrates his energy for different interviewers.
