SHAWN PHILLIPS – Bright White – (A&M) – 1973
I'm tired. I've just spent the day painting – house painting. Painting is probably the easiest of the trades… Err, wait, I know a few house painters so I probably should qualify that. It's the easiest of the trades in … Continue reading

MELANIE – The 7th Wave – (Powderworks)- 1983
How many Melanie albums do I have that I have not listened to before? A lot! Feel free to groan if you don't like Melanie. This is not a Melanie blog but I find myself playing a lot of her … Continue reading
THE GRASS ROOTS – Alotta’ Mileage – (Dunhill) – 1973
In another Grass Roots comment I said this: Inevitably, when discussing Grass Roots questions of “authenticity” come up but they are largely redundant because this is pop music. I should say: They weren’t a manufactured group in the normal sense … Continue reading
JESSE COLIN YOUNG – Together – (Warner Brothers) – 1972
It's hard to put on a finger on why Jesse Colin Young never had a more successful solo career. He had all the right attributes to be a successful singer songwriter in the 70s… He was an ex folkie who … Continue reading

More McGuinn! Can you ever have enough McGuinn? Perhaps, but I have not reached that point yet and I doubt I will as he is consistently interesting even when his (solo) albums don’t achieve greatness. In relation his Thunderbyrd (1977) … Continue reading
JIM KWESKIN – America – (Reprise) – 1971
Jim Kweskin is one of the great, lost and forgotten heroes of American music. It’s not that he didn’t have his time in the sun. He did. But his time passed and his audience got older and he failed to … Continue reading
ARLO GUTHRIE – One Night – (Warner Brothers) – 1978
If you need proof that Arlo was something beyond the son of Woody or the disciple of Bob Dylan then listen to this album. The album isn’t totally successful ,but, Arlo’s scope and vision clearly place him at the … Continue reading
