Biography
Ten Wheel Drive was an American jazz-rock/fusion band formed in 1968 by Genya Ravan, Michael Zager, and Aram Schefrin. After Goldie and the Gingerbreads disbanded, Ravan sought a new musical challenge and collaborated with Zager and Schefrin from New Jersey. The band's name came from a collective brainstorming session. They signed with Polydor Records in 1969 and released their debut album Construction #1, produced by Walter Raim. Ten Wheel Drive gained immediate attention, with comparisons to Janis Joplin due to Ravanâs vocals. In 1970, they released their second album Brief Replies, after a notable concert at New York's Fillmore East the year before, and performed a rock opera at Carnegie Hall. Despite extensive preparation, Polydor Records decided not to record this performance. In 1971, they released Peculiar Friends, produced by Schefrin and Zager. Ravan left Ten Wheel Drive to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Annie Sutton from The Rascals. Their final album, Ten Wheel Drive, was released in 1974 on Capitol Records before the band disbanded.
