First rising to prominence as the guitarist of Cleveland's influential James Gang in the 1960s, Glenn Schwartz skipped town for Los Angeles and was replaced in the band by an unknown Joe Walsh (a close friend that he recommended). Once in hippie-era California, Schwartz’s guitar chops made fans of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Janis Joplin - and he even scored a Top 20 hit with his band Pacific Gas & Electric. But by the 1970s, he had devoted himself fully to religion, joined a commune, and was rarely heard from again for years. Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) met him decades later as a teenager, once Schwartz had re-emerged in Ohio to play wildly experimental blues sets in the state’s bars and clubs. “Daughter Of Zion” was a song Schwartz first wrote in the early 1970s as a member of the All Saved Freak Band - now given a complete blues reinvention with Walsh and Auerbach for Tell Everybody! (21st Century Juke Joint Blues From Easy Eye Sound).
"Glenn was my biggest rock n roll inspiration,” Auerbach remembers. “There would be no Black Keys without Glenn Schwartz, that's for sure. I really miss him. He was a sweet man who loved the lord and loved music so much. I really respected his conviction."
