AL STEWART – Orange – (CBS) – 1972
"Year of the Cat", anything else? Even the reasonably involved musical listener would have problems naming another song by Al Stewart. Just like "Streets of London" is forever associated with Ralph McTell, an artist not dissimilar to Stewart, "Year of … Continue reading
MICHAEL NESMITH – Tantamount to Treason – (RCA) – 1972
Nesmith is a genius. We all love The Monkees but Nesmith is the only one to have a career outside the Monkees and in a lot of ways (apart from chart wise) he matched his creative period in the … Continue reading
RICK SPRINGFIELD – Beginnings – (Sparmac) – 1972
This one has been kicking around for at least 25 years. I bought back in the 80s, liked it, and put it in my collection. I then had a clean out and decided to get rid of it. Finally, I … Continue reading
JOHN HARTFORD – Morning Bugle – (Warner Brothers) – 1972
I said this in an earlier comment: Is John Hartford an acquired taste? Maybe. Though a lot of that "maybe" depends on where you start in his repertoire and what you know of music before hand. For background on Hartford … Continue reading
MANU DIBANGO – Soul Makossa – (Atlantic) – 1972
This is one I picked up some time ago (15 years ?) and have listened to but was never convinced I should keep. My ear for jazz has, however, improved since my youth and I find this album improves, accordingly, … Continue reading

NANCY SINATRA & LEE HAZLEWOOD – Nancy & Lee Again – (RCA) – 1972
I’m not sure what to write here. I don’t want to wax lyrical and go on forever as I am hungover and I assume people know the basics of Nancy (probably) and Lee (maybe). So forgive me if these comments are … Continue reading
THE SIDEWINDERS – The Sidewinders – (RCA) – 1972
Another album that has been kicking around in my "pile" of records for about 20 years. I recall listening to it some time ago and putting a few songs on cassette but I wasn't convinced I should get rid of … Continue reading
CACTUS – ‘Ot ‘n’ Sweaty – (Atlantic) – 1972
what Frank is listening to #34 – CACTUS – 'Ot 'n' Sweaty – (Atlantic) – 1972 I had never heard any "Cactus" before but I knew of them mainly because Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert were from NYC heavy psych … Continue reading
