In the business of combining country with rock and roll, this group has probably succeeded more than all others who have engaged in this kind of synthesis. The leader of Commander Cody And Tire Lost Planet Airmen began his career at the University of Michigan, where over several years he managed to form and play in many groups - The Amblers, Fantastic Surfing Beavers, and The Lorenzo Lightfoot Athletic Club & Blues Band. He put together the first version of his Lost Planet Airmen in 1967, and although the first concerts showed that the new group had very good potential, the "Aeronauts" could not compete with such local musicians as Mitch Ryder and Ted Nugent and suspended their activities for a while. Kerchen and Farlowe moved to San Francisco, where they formed the group The Ozones, and soon Cudy and the rest of the musicians joined them - the new name dissolved into the old one, the group returned to the stylistics found in Michigan, and by 1970 was considered one of the most fashionable in the city. The debut album of 1971 "Lost In The Ozone" got into the national Top 100; here the group combined original authorial material with arrangements of famous things - in particular, a new version of Johnny Bond's composition "Hot Rod Lincoln" was popular. The second album, Hot Licks, Cold Steel And Truckers' Favorites, also entered the US Top 100, and one composition from it, Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar, became a hit single. The third album, Country Casanova, was even more successful: two of the songs included in it were recognized as hits, including Everybody's Doing It - it was because of this song, which rhymed the words "trucking" and "fucking", that EMI refused to release the album in England. By the mid-70s, the lineup of Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen had changed several times, and despite regularly recording generally strong albums, it became clear that the group could no longer live up to its own high standards of the late 60s. Nevertheless, the 1975 album "Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen", recorded under the auspices of Warner Bros., turned out to be one of the strongest in the group's repertoire and entered the national Top 100. As it turned out, this was the last disc of the group: in 1977, Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen broke up. For some time, Freyne performed under his usual pseudonym Cody and in the early 80s, one of his compositions "Two Triple Cheese (Side Order Fries)" became a pan-European hit. In 1986, together with his former colleagues Kerchen and Barlow, he reformed Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, with whom he recorded a very strong album "Let's Rock", sustained in the classic style of this wonderful group
