ALBERT HAMMOND – The Free Electric Band – (CBS) – 1973
Anyone who wrote and sang "It Never Rains in Southern California" has to be cut some slack. Surely it's one of the best songs to come out of the California singer-songwriter movement in the early 70s. That it was sung … Continue reading
FLOYD WESTERMAN – Custer Died for Your Sins – (Perception) – 1969
At the outset I point out to those who refer to any grammar inconsistencies or for the "bitiness" of paragraphs that these comments are written contemporaneously with the listening to of the record (usually while I am doing something else) … Continue reading
DAVID ACKLES – Subway to the City – (Elektra) – 1970
If I didn't already know who Ackles was (I have "American Gothic" (1972) and I commented on "Five & Dime"(1973) back in "what Frank is listening to #91" ) I would still have picked this album up as it's on the Elektra … Continue reading
HENSON – Henson – (UA) – 1974
Another LP which has been sitting around for ages. I remember looking for background on this guy some years back and not finding much. Nothing has changed. It was even an effort finding out his Christian name as he seems … Continue reading
JOHN SEBASTIAN – John B. Sebastian – (MGM) – 1970
I, like may of my generation, know Sebastian through the wonderfully evocative theme song to the hugely popular and yet misunderstood sitcom "Welcome Back Kotter" (one of the best of the 70s). It was only later that I found … Continue reading
JIMMY CURTISS – Life – (Perception) – 1969
I bought this on a $16.49 whim … well I actually won it of eBay for that amount. The whim was mainly based on the fact that I had already won an album from the seller so I thought … Continue reading
DANNY O’KEEFE – American Roulette – (Warner Brothers) – 1977
Another record that has floated in and out of my "maybe" pile. For years I thought O'Keefe was a country type troubadour (mainly because of the album covers) but I suppose he is better described as a singer-songwriter with country-ish overtones. … Continue reading
DAVID ACKLES – Five & Dime – (Columbia) – 1973
what Frank is listening to #91 – DAVID ACKLES – Five & Dime – (Columbia) – 1973 I have Ackles' "American Gothic" (1972) which is generally regarded as his best album … and it certainly is a good 'un. Ackles is, simply … Continue reading
SHAWN PHILLIPS – Collaboration – (A&M) – 1971
what Frank is listening to #78 – SHAWN PHILLIPS – Collaboration – (A&M) – 1971 I hadn't heard of Shawn Phillips though I have three or so of his albums sitting in the pile. The sleeves to those LPs, including this … Continue reading
ART GARFUNKEL – Scissors Cut – (CBS) – 1981
what Frank is listening to #51 – ART GARFUNKEL – Scissors Cut – (CBS) – 1981 I don't mind Art Garfunkel. I loved Simon and Garfunkel as a kid – I saw them live at Lang Park in … Continue reading
