BREWER & SHIPLEY – ST11261
This album was Brewer and Shipley’s sixth and their second last (the last was in 1975) before retiring from recording for twenty years. Their first album, “Down in L.A” had been released on A&M records in 1968. The next four … Continue reading
DENNIS LINDE – Trapped in the Suburbs – (Elektra) – 1974
Search this blog and you will see I like (love?) Dennis Linde. Check out my other comments for biographical details on the man. Linde will forever be associated as a country songwriter (because of the number of country acts who … Continue reading
TIM BUCKLEY – Greetings from L.A. – (MCA) – 1974
There has been much written about Jeff Buckley and there is no shortage of reviews on him. Forty-four years after his death, Tim Buckley probably remains best known as father of the late Jeff Buckley but to the self-consciously aware … Continue reading
ALBERT HAMMOND – Albert Hammond – (Mums) – 1973
This is Hammonds third solo album. I'm looking forward to this … albeit some 45 years after the event. Hammond is a mixed bag. He has done a lot of stuff which is pure MOR but he does have the … Continue reading
JOHNNY RIVERS – Road – (Atlantic) – 1974
Johnny’s last good charting album was "Realization" from 1968 (#5US Pop) though “L.A. Reggae” from 1972 had reached #78 US Pop (probably as a result of a hit single from the album, "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" which … Continue reading
CLAIRE HAMILL – Stage Door Jonnies – (Konk) – 1974
This is exciting for me. And, not because of Claire (no disrespect intended), but because it was produced by Ray Davies of the Kinks, who I love. In 1973 Ray decided to get into production utilising his new studio … Continue reading
FELIX CAVALIERE – Felix Cavaliere – (Bearsville) – 1974
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
JESSE COLIN YOUNG – Light Shine – (Warner Brothers) – 1974
I've commented on Jesse Colin Young a few times in the past. I have an affection for him. This is an affection that's grown, mainly, from one record, "Elephant Mountain", an album he did with his band The Youngbloods in … Continue reading
TIM BUCKLEY – Look at the Fool – (DisCreet) – 1974
Tim Buckley seems to be one of those acts that floats in and out cult favour from time. I think he is out at the moment but I could be wrong. I've got a few Tim Buckley albums in the … Continue reading
MELANIE – Madrugada – (Neighborhood Records)- 1974
Melanie, again. I've written at length over Melanie so check out the other comments. This is an interesting album in the evolution of Melanie in that it lays (with the album previous, "Stoneground Words" from 1972) the direction of Melanie's … Continue reading
