Cub Koda

Michael John "Cub" Koda (born October 1, 1948 – July 1, 2000) was an American rock and roll singer, guitarist, songwriter, disc jockey, music critic, and record compiler. Rolling Stone magazine considered him best known for writing the song "Smokin' in the Boys Room", recorded by Brownsville Station, which reached number 3 on the 1974 Billboard chart. He co-wrote and edited the All Music Guide to the Blues, and Blues for Dummies, and selected a version of each of the classic blues songs on the CD accompanying the book. He also wrote liner notes for the Trashmen, Jimmy Reed, J. B. Hutto, the Kingsmen, and the Miller Sisters, among others.

Peel was very fond of Cub Koda's album, 'Abba Dabba Dabba : A Bananza Of Hits', which he played tracks often on his radio programmes between 1995 and 1996. There is no evidence that he played any further tracks from the artist before or after the mid-90's, but he did play some of his tunes in the early 70's, when he was a member of Brownsville Station.
