PETER & GORDON – Woman – (Capitol) – 1966
Check out my other comments for information on Peter & Gordon, one of the most interesting of the British Invasion groups though, because they didn't play R&B, or pout they are largely underrated today. Okay that is an oversimplification but … Continue reading
ROD McKUEN – Other Kinds of Songs – (RCA) – 1966
We probably need a Rod McKuen now more than we ever did. In what seems to be an increasingly polarised world (at least in the middle class secular west) we need him to show that all men aren’t pricks and … Continue reading
THE EVERLY BROTHERS – Two Yanks in England – (Warner Brothers) – 1966
I love the Everly Brothers. Many people do, though generally, they aren’t as revered as the hell raisers and out and out rock ‘n’ rollers from the 1950s. Elvis will forever reign supreme as he straddled or created a number … Continue reading
JIM KWESKIN – Relax Your Mind – (Vanguard) – 1966
Jim Kweskin & The Jug Band had released two or three albums by the time Jim decided to put out this solo release. Though it's not really "solo" just Jim and some of his band in a less raucous mood. … Continue reading

LOU CHRISTIE – Strikes Again – (Roulette) – 1966
I have commented on Christie before though they were earlier comments when this blog was still an email list so they were a little slap dash. To be fair to Lou Christie I should re-vamp what I have said… Allmusic: … Continue reading
DAVID & JONATHAN – Michelle – (Capitol) – 1966
I love 60s music. It was a pretty amazing decade musically and I’m not just talking about the obvious mainstream recollections of it: Merseybeat, surf music, soul, psychedelia, folk rock. I love all the in-betweens and forgotten sounds: the frat … Continue reading
JOHNNY CASH – Everybody Loves a Nut – (Columbia) – 1966
They certainly do. But everyone loves someone who is deadly serious and can be pontificated over. Generation X did that to Johnny Cash and his Rick Rubin recordings. But, Johnny put out Christmas albums, kids albums, gospel albums, and this, … Continue reading
