THE BEAU BRUMMELS – The Beau Brummels – (MCA) – 1975
I've had this sitting around for a while. I like the Beau Brummels, having picked up their debut album in the 80s sometime. Since then I have managed to get hold of all the others albums (and commented on a … Continue reading
SKY KING – Secret Sauce – (Columbia) – 1975
There was a time when jazz was a music for the masses and not just for music students, pretentious middle class wankers or enthusiastic Europeans. At various times in its history: in its Dixie heyday, ragtime, cool jazz or lounge … Continue reading
DAVE EDMUNDS – Subtle as a Flying Mallet – (RCA) – 1975
This is Edmunds second solo album, and, it is the paragon of his love for American music. Edmunds never hid his love of American music and, importantly, given some of the music of his countrymen, he never tried to disguise … Continue reading

Leon Redbone is a mystery, perhaps not as much as The Residents or writer B. Traven but he is indulging in the same quest for anonymity. But, he isn’t obscure and he doesn’t avoid exposure. He tends, rather, to hide … Continue reading
MELANIE – Sunset And Other Beginnings – (Neighborhood) – 1975
Ahhh, more Melanie. This album gets panned a lot. Not that I pay too much notice of what others say because every halfwit has an opinion. Err, yes I do have enough insight to see I'm knocking myself but do … Continue reading
JACKIE DeSHANNON – New Arrangement – (CBS) – 1975
This one was a good earner for Jackie. Well, not immediately but in 1981. Kim Carnes recorded Jackie's "Bette Davis Eyes" and took it to #1 across the world. So the co-writers royalties would have been nice. Jackie had gone … Continue reading
ROGER McGUINN & BAND – Roger McGuinn & Band – (Columbia) – 1975
Check my other entries from background on McGuinn if you don't know who he is. You should though! This was McGuinn's third solo album after leaving (or disbanding) The Byrds. It is titled "Roger McGuinn & Band" McGuinn's two first … Continue reading
