Psychedelic Rock
After All is an American band that made music in the proto-prog / heavy psychedelic / prog related genres of the late 60s. Their music is very similar to The Doors. The group recorded their only self-titled album in 1969.
Quickly put together by seasoned musicians in 1969 in Tallahassee, FL, After All is just a footnote in '60s and Florida rock history. However, their only recorded effort was a raucous, acidic progressive pop experience that, if not perhaps among the best obscurities of the era, brought back the perfection and cuffed adventurism of the decade in full colour. All of the After All members had backgrounds playing in various rhythm and blues and jazz bands, performing at clubs and parties in the Tallahassee area. Drummer Mark Ellerbee had just returned from Vietnam and ran into Florida State graduate keyboardist Alan Gold, who was performing in one of the area's top nightclub bands at the time. With the participation of bassist Bill Moon and jazz guitarist Charles Short, After All was officially born. The band managed to create a concept album by bringing together the latest styles of the era, from acid and classic rock to structural complexity and surreal lyrics. The band entered the Nashville studio in 1969 and recorded After All a few days later. Following the release of the album on Athena Records, the instrumentalists returned to Florida and continued their local careers. Hargrove remained in Nashville and had a good career as a country singer/songwriter and performer.
