Vicki Peterson & John Cowsill

Caropop

About this episode

Vicki Peterson and John Cowsill, who are married to each other, have been making music for many years but recently released their first album together, Long After the Fire. Peterson has been singer-songwriter-guitarist for the Bangles and Continental Drifters. John Cowsill began drumming for the Cowsills at a young age, more recently was the Beach Boys’ drummer and now fills in as lead singer for the Smithereens. The new album features songs written by John’s two late brothers, Bill and Barry Cowsill, and John and Vicki harmonize beautifully and, as you’ll hear here, crack each other up. They recount how they decided (and occasionally tangled over) who would sing what and tell great stories too, covering Vicki’s long connection with the Cowsills (which dates back to 1978) and John’s cosmic if heartbreaking moment with Brian Wilson.
