He has done more than pay tribute to his father. He has given him back his voice by reissuing those old 1970s demos as The Lost Tapes of Mad Anthony earlier this month. They’re a wonderful time capsule, a beautifully rough-hewn collection of piano ballads and country rockers that suggest an undiscovered lost cousin of The Band or The Eagles.
Sylvie and Mad Anthony don’t exist in a vacuum. Postpandemic, those early-1970s Cali-vibes have struck a universal register. They are referenced in Harry Styles’s blockbusting Harry’s House and on the HBO zombie drama The Last of Us, which championed Linda Ronstadt’s 1970 hit Long Long Time. Schwab’s dad was not an addict or a danger to himself and others. Still, Mad Anthony had their moments in the fast lane, says his son. They were a rough-and-ready crew: the songs were tender and homespun, but the musicians weren’t above getting into trouble.
