Borderline (band)
Borderline was an early-1970s band from Woodstock, New York, that fused elements of folk, rock, country and jazz. Consisting of brothers David Gershen (b. 1947) and Jon Gershen (b. 1950) as well as Jim Rooney (b. 1938), the trio recorded two albums, the second of which was not officially released until 2001,〔Ankeny, Jason, www.allmusic.com, artist biography, www.allmusic.com/artist/borderline-mn0000769420/biography〕 and then only in Japan, due to record company problems. Though the group did not enjoy a great deal of commercial success,〔Zimmerman, Lee, album review, nodepression.com magazine, May 26, 2013, http://www.nodepression.com/profiles/blogs/lee-s-listening-stack-twenty-count-em-twenty-reviews-for-the〕 it was part of the “Woodstock scene” of the early 1970s that included Van Morrison and the Band.〔Unterberger, Richie, liner notes to U.S. release of "Sweet Dreams and Quiet Desires"/"The Second Album," Real Gone Music, 2013, RGM-0120〕 Borderline was a forerunner of musical artists who would eventually be grouped under the “Americana” genre. Also notable is that their two albums featured some well-known backing musicians including members of the Band.〔Sarlin, Bob, album review, Crawdaddy magazine, July 1973〕 After Borderline broke up in 1974, the Gershen brothers pursued various projects while Rooney became a successful producer in Nashville, working with artists including Iris DeMent, Nanci Griffith and John Prine.
==Origins==
In 1968, the Gershen brothers, who were raised in New Jersey, formed a rock band in New York City called the Montgomeries. Another founding member of this band was Tony Brown who would later appear on Bob Dylan’s album “Blood on the Tracks.” In 1969, the Montgomeries relocated to Woodstock, where they crossed paths with other recently transplanted musicians including Van Morrison, who often played gigs with them.〔Heylin, Clinton, ''Can You Feel the Silence? Van Morrison, A New Biography'', Chicago Review Press, 2003, pp. 217-218〕 Morrison, in fact, became a good friend of the Montgomeries and the band that would become Borderline during the early days in Woodstock.〔 After the Montgomeries broke up, Jon Gershen met Rooney, a veteran of the Boston folk music scene who had moved to Woodstock in 1971. Rooney was at the time working as business manager at Bearsville Studios, which was built by Albert Grossman, who managed Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and the Band. Guitarists Rooney and Gershen got together for some informal music-making sessions and discovered they had a unique sound that should be pursued further. Soon after, they invited David Gershen – who specialized in folk and country music – to join in.〔Hagiwara, Kenta, liner notes to Japanese reissue of "Sweet Dreams and Quiet Desires," EMI Music Japan, 2000, TOCP-53124〕 The trio, still unnamed, began seriously working together in the fall of 1971. They landed a record contract with United Artists Records, which had once expressed interest in the Montgomeries. They eventually chose the name Borderline to reflect the way their different styles existed in close proximity to each other.
