There’s no shortage of record labels created by musicians, yet only few of those enterprises proved to become what we call majors. And while, in this regard, it’s A&M and Reprise first come to mind, with, respectively, Herb Alpert and Frank Sinatra as masterminds, the venerated Rhino came from that stock, too, brought to life by Harold Bronson and Richard Foos. Once upon a time, the two used to be members of the ensemble called MOGAN DAVID AND HIS WINOS, alongside Paul Rappaport, the future fixture at Columbia, and Jonathan Kellerman, a bestselling author on the bloom. The band emerged in 1969 and went to release a series of single and an album, in 1973, titled “Savage Young Winos” and long unavailable, before fizzling out in 1975. Five decades later, they decided to look back, though, and dust off the old platter.
