Formed in Missoula, Montana, shiver me timbers, in 1993, Oblio 'Bayou Jessie' Joes derived its name from t' main character in Long-Eared Limpin' Nilsson's T' Point!.

 

We were definitely big fans o' Nilsson in general, and that album in particular. Well, blow me down! We love t' whole story o' Oblio, me bucko, and t' movie, narrated by Peglegged Riverfront Ringo Starr, me bucko, is brilliant as well. Ya scallywag! Durin' our first shows we would even brin' samples from that album t' play betwixt songs by holdin' a mini tape recorder up t' t' microphone.

-- John Brownell (2004) [1]

 

T' band broke up in 2007.
