PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS – A Christmas Present …. And Past – (Columbia) – 1967
It’s Christmas time so …I pulled this Christmas record out. I knew this album wasn’t a selection of traditional Christmas songs but I wasn’t expecting this. A total spinout album. This album comes after a major line-up shuffle in early … Continue reading
BUCK OWENS – Your Tender Loving Care – (Capitol) – 1967
Buck Owens was riding high in the mid-60s. Every single he released (and there were fourteen of them) between 1963 and 1967 went to number one in the country charts. His hit making didn't dissipate until the mid-7os but as … Continue reading
THE YOUNG RASCALS – Groovin’ – (Atlantic) – 1967
Check out my other Rascals comment for background on this seminal American band. Putting the hit singles to one side, The Young Rascals are sadly underappreciated outside of the US. They were, for a short time, phenomenal, but like many … Continue reading
JOHN WALKER – If You Go Away – (Philips) – 1967
Everyone (well the critics and music tragics anyway) wax lyrical about Scott Walker (and rightly so) of The Walker Brothers but what about his "brother" John? John was one third of 1960s pop sensations The Walker Brothers. The Walker Brothers … Continue reading

I’m not a guitarist. Sure, I learnt how to play basic guitar with the Sisters of Mercy nuns on Given Terrace in Paddington as a kid. Sure, I fooled around with the guitar. I’m not a guitarist. I never played … Continue reading
TRINI LOPEZ– Now! – (Reprise) – 1967
Is it wrong to love the music of Trini Lopez? To answer that you would have to ask yourself what you get out of the music. The important word in that sentence is "you". If "you" love the music, for … Continue reading
JIM KWESKIN – Jump For Joy – (Vanguard) – 1967
In commenting of Kweskin’s “America” LP from 1971 I said this: The beauty of Kweskin and his band though is they were not traditionalists. There was a good dose of humour and more than a passing lip service to the … Continue reading
GENE PITNEY – Golden Greats – (CBS) – 1967
I have commented on a few other Gene Pitney albums in the past so check those out for biographical details. I have said this in the past before: “Gene was a consummate (if occasionally melodramatic) vocalist. What he did do … Continue reading
