CHRIS HILLMAN – Slippin’ Away – (Asylum) – 1976
On a comment I did about Hillman’s "Clear Sailing" album from 1977 I said this by way of background, "Anyone even remotely interested in country rock knows Chris Hillman. His PR is not as successful as many others in … Continue reading
DAVID CROSBY & GRAHAM NASH – Wind on the Water – (Polydor) – 1975
Sometimes you get two voices that compliment each other well. And that is the case here despite one being American and the other a Brit. Not coincidentally, despite being from opposite sides of the Atlantic, both came from multi vocal … Continue reading
DR HOOK – Pleasure & Pain – (Capitol) – 1978
Dr Hook. How do I end up here? Answer: A couple of Stones Green Ginger Wines with ice whilst reading my friends blog which has frequent suitably rustic themes (http://thegoatthatwrote.net/ ). I apologise to him in advance for linking him … Continue reading
ROGER McGUINN – Thunderbyrd – (Columbia) – 1977

For all of you musician friends of mine who think you have missed the boat and don’t know why – check out (below) the music bio to these guys. These two brothers could not catch a wave, try as … Continue reading
CROSBY STILLS & NASH – Crosby Stills & Nash – (Atlantic) – 1969
At one stage back in the mid 80s I had most of the various permeations of Stills, Crosby, Nash, and (later) Young. It was in a post Byrds frenzy I managed to pick ‘em all as they were everywhere in … Continue reading

what Frank is listening to #230 – THE DILLARDS – Wheatstraw Suite – (Elektra) – 1968 Of course I know who The Dillards are but I don't have much by them, just tracks on some compilation album and one of … Continue reading
