JACKIE DeSHANNON – Songs – (Capitol) – 1971
This is another album that I've had a while. It's been kicking around since the late 1980s I think. I had quite a few Jackie DeShannon albums and I was pressed for space and I thought … I've got a … Continue reading
DANNY O’KEEFE – So Long Harry Truman – (Atlantic) – 1975
Danny O'Keefe is not a stranger to this blog. And, this record isn't exactly a new listen. This was, perhaps, the first Danny O'Keefe album I got back in the 80s … read the other entries to find out why … Continue reading
JOHNNY RIVERS – Slim Slo Rider – (Imperial) – 1970
I like Johnny Rivers but, to be fair, he always seemed to have an eye on what was happening around him. Most musicians do I suspect, well at least those who want some commercial success do. It would be reasonable … Continue reading
TIM BUCKLEY – Look at the Fool – (DisCreet) – 1974
Tim Buckley seems to be one of those acts that floats in and out cult favour from time. I think he is out at the moment but I could be wrong. I've got a few Tim Buckley albums in the … Continue reading
ALAN PRICE – Lucky Day – (Jet) – 1979
I like my English music to sound … errr, English. Accepting, as any reasonable person must, that rock music is an essentially organic American medium, to then, transplant that music to England means I will need those bands to try … Continue reading

MELANIE – Madrugada – (Neighborhood Records)- 1974
Melanie, again. I've written at length over Melanie so check out the other comments. This is an interesting album in the evolution of Melanie in that it lays (with the album previous, "Stoneground Words" from 1972) the direction of Melanie's … Continue reading
STEVE FORBERT – Streets of This Town – (Geffen) – 1988
You might ask "Steve Forbert, what happened?". You're more likely to ask, "Who the fuck is Steve Forbert?". These are valid things to ask but it's worth looking for an answer to either or both questions. At the end of … Continue reading
COUNTRY JOE McDONALD – Love is a Fire – (Fantasy) – 1976
Allmusic: "A native of Washington, D.C., McDonald grew up in El Monte, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles, where his parents, Florence and Worden, had moved to escape political difficulties in the capital city. Music played an important role through … Continue reading
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
