PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE – Pure Prairie League – (MCA) – 1972
This is a record you often see in op shops or, rather, one you think appears all the time in op shops. The drawn character on the front sleeve was on many Pure Prairie League sleeves so it would be … Continue reading
CROSBY & NASH – Graham Nash / David Crosby – (Atlantic) – 1972
This style of music has aged well and is perfectly relevant to today. It combines singer-songwriter ruminations, melodic catchiness, rural and country flavours, observation and social (albeit mild) criticism. Everything that an alt-country troubadour or indie kid going acoustic aspires … Continue reading
DELANEY BRAMLETT – Some Things Coming – (Columbia) – 1972
White blues I find quite boring. Now, I'm not talking about those who take blues somewhere else of mix it up. I'm not talking about Elvis, the Rolling Stones, Paul Butterfield blues band, Blues Projections, George Thorogood, or even The … Continue reading
JIM CROCE – You Don’t Mess Around With Jim – (ABC) – 1972
Jim was musically schizophrenic – he had two personas. The wounded folkie and the bragging street wise thumper. They aren’t at odds with each other, they are just flipsides of the same person. No one is one is ever note. … Continue reading

DANNY O’KEEFE – O’Keefe – (Signpost) – 1972
Okay, this isn’t actually a new find as I have had it awhile and had already graduated to the “keep” side of the ledger but I’m an O’Keefe kick … and, this is a cleaner copy than the one I … Continue reading
SAMMY DAVIS Jr – Now – (MGM) – 1972
Sammy Davis Jr is part of my musical memory. He was always there. “Samuel George Davis Jr. (December 8, 1925 – May 16, 1990) was an American singer, dancer, actor and comedian. He was noted for his impressions of actors, … Continue reading
DR HOOK – Sloppy Seconds – (CBS) – 1972
1972. "Sloppy Seconds" All songs written by satirist Shel Silverstein. I know where this album is going, and, I'm pretty sure it would not be released on a major label today. Well, not without a lot of controversy. So, if … Continue reading
DELANEY & BONNIE – D & B Together – (CBS) – 1972
See my earlier comment for biographical detail on the joy that is Delaney & Bonnie. Inconsistent they may be but there are tangible benefits from their music. This album comes at the dawn of Southern white soul and the rise … Continue reading
