The Lewis and Clarke Expedition was a short-lived L.A. band from 1966 to 1968. In 1967 they were able to release this one album titled "Earth, Air, Fire, And Water."
Travis Lewis was actually Michael (Martin) Murphey, who later had the hit "Wildfire"as a country musician.
"Boomer Clarke" is Owen (Boomer) Castleman, who had a hit with the song "Judy Mae."
Other members were multi-instrumentalist Ken Bloom, guitarist John London and drummer Johnny Raines.
I guess some member went to Argyle High School because only that would explain this rather odd song!
Sometimes it feels like there is more than one song playing, or maybe some band like The Byrds performing with a high school marching band.
Funny thing -- only earlier today I was reading a post that also referenced The Lewis & Clark Expedition. Apparently, the song "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)," which was a Number One hit for The Raiders during this month in 1971, after the song had been recorded by many other artists before that, including The Lewis & Clark Expedition. What are the chances?
