FABIAN – Hold That Tiger! – (Chancellor) – 1959
I’ve always liked Fabian as a result of watching films he made in the 1960s. Not just the teen films but his two films with Jimmy Stewart, “Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation” (1962) and Dear Brigitte (1965), as well as … Continue reading
FRANKIE MILLER – Easy Money – (Chrysalis) – 1980
I've spoken about Frankie Miller before. Check out that comment for biographical detail and what not. Blues rock. A little of this goes a long way with me. Especially the 70s variety where Miller made his name. Well, the later … Continue reading
STEPHEN STILLS – Right By You – (Atlantic) – 1984
If you read this blog enough you will hear me say, and, yes, I'm saying it again, the 80s were awful for mainstream music. New mainstream sounded awful and "in the charts" mainstream was rubbish but the hardest hit by … Continue reading
ALBERT HAMMOND – Somewhere in America – (Columbia) – 1982
I do like Albert Hammond. Check out the other blog entries for biographical details and ruminations. I've said this before, and I've even used this before but I like it. When I commented on his 1977 album, "When I Need … Continue reading

I've nattered on about Cavaliere solo and with his time in the Young Rascals on other posts so check them out for biographical detail and bits and pieces of errr, whatever. This, here, naturally enough, given the self title, is … Continue reading
CATCH – Catch – (Dot) – 1969
Now this is obscure. I bought this because it was a US pressing and $1. I was expecting jazz rock. I'm not sure why, maybe it's their dress. What is known and none of this is certain is that the … Continue reading
TRINI LOPEZ – The Whole Enchilada – (Reprise) – 1969
I'm sure they like Trini in Nicaragua. I'm sure they like Trini throughout Latin America. I know I like Trini. A regular find in op shops crates he has become a firm favourite. This Dallas born Hispanic American had his … Continue reading
THE QUINAIMES BAND – The Quinaimes Band – (Elektra) – 1971
I got this album recently and I knew absolutely nothing about the band and I only bought the record because the band were on the Elektra label from the early 70s. And, like I have said, I will give anything … Continue reading
