ALBERT HAMMOND – Somewhere in America – (Columbia) – 1982
I do like Albert Hammond. Check out the other blog entries for biographical details and ruminations. I've said this before, and I've even used this before but I like it. When I commented on his 1977 album, "When I Need … Continue reading
(PAUL REVERE & THE) RAIDERS – Country Wine – (Columbia) – 1972
This is the last album of the original Paul Revere and the Raiders despite just being called "Raiders", a name they had used over their preceding two albums, Collage (1970) and Indian Reservation (1971). Importantly, both Paul Revere (the keyboardist) … Continue reading
JAKE HOLMES – So Close, So Very far To Go – (Polydor) – 1970
This album would crop up now and then in op shops and I bought it on a whim (many years ago) because I liked the mood conveyed in the cover art. Reading up on Jake I found he was the … Continue reading

If you walk into a op shop you are bound to find a Bobby Goldsboro album. Check my other comments on Goldsboro for biographical detail and the usual observation that if you “Walk into a op shop and you are … Continue reading
BOBBY DARIN – Something Special – (Atlantic) – 1967
Bobby Darin is a legend. I get tired starting comments with the so and so is a legend. But I have to. I find it easy to put it out there from the start and then work backwards. Which is … Continue reading
MARK LINDSAY – Arizona – (CBS) – 1970
This is probably the first Lindsay album I owned. I heard this before I heard any of his lead vocals for “Paul Revere and the Raiders”. Having said that I wasn’t totally convinced by the album and it has sat … Continue reading
