Player is an American rock band during the late 1970s. Their #1 hit, “Baby Come Back” was written by Peter Beckett and J.C. Crowley. Player first came together in Los Angeles, California. The original members included Peter Beckett (lead vocals, guitar), John Charles “J.C.” Crowley (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Ronn Moss (bass, vocals) and John Friesen (drums). Beckett, a transplanted Englishman, had been in a group called Skyband with Australian Steve Kipner (who’d also played with the popular Aussie act Tin Tin). After Skyband broke up in 1975, Beckett was in LA and met Crowley at a party. He and Crowley teamed up in a new band called Riff Raff, which soon changed its name to Bandana and released a single, “Jukebox Saturday Night”, on Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter’s Haven label. When Haven folded soon after, Lambert & Potter brought the guys over to RSO Records in 1977 and Beckett & Crowley started anew with Moss & Friesen as Player. Wayne Cook, a keyboardist/session player and former member of Steppenwolf, was an additional bandmember for its live performances; he is the curly-haired keyboardist in the band’s videos from the 1970s.

Omni's 2012 Bobby Bare two-fer pairs the 1975 LP Hard Time Hungrys and the 1976 set The Winner and Other Losers, the latter of which has never seen CD release prior to this. Hard Time Hungrys is one of Bare's key '70s albums: an ambitious set of songs written by Shel Silverstein, all concerning the plight of the working class. An admirable record somewhat undone by the interspersing of spoken word interviews between songs, the record picks up the thread from 1973's Lullabys, Legends and Lies – also written by Silverstein – and starts to ratchet up the country influence, feeling a little bit leaner and harder, which is appropriate for the album's subjects.
