ROGER McGUINN – Thunderbyrd – (Columbia) – 1977
A weird album for Roger McGuinn to put out. There are only four original songs on this LP but McGuinn, in the folk tradition, has no problems about doing covers as long as they fit in with the concept. The … Continue reading
STEVE HUNTER – Swept Away – (Atlantic) – 1977
No doubt there will be guitarists out there who will say this album changed their lives or that I don’t understand the album because I don’t play guitar. Bullfuck. A instrumental rock album with guitar as its focus … Continue reading
ENGLAND DAN & JOHN FORD COLEY – Dowdy Ferry Road – (Big Tree) – 1977
what Frank is listening to #220 – ENGLAND DAN & JOHN FORD COLEY – Dowdy Ferry Road – (Big Tree) – 1977 I knew next to nothing about these guys despite the fact I occasionally see their records in op … Continue reading
CHRIS HILLMAN – Clear Sailing – (Asylum) – 1977
what Frank is listening to #212 – CHRIS HILLMAN – Clear Sailing – (Asylum) – 1977 Anyone even remotely interested in country rock knows Chris Hillman. His PR is not as successful as many others in the genre but he … Continue reading

What Frank is listening to #209 – ALBERT HAMMOND – When I Need You – (Epic) – 1977 Happy Eurovision to you all! I'm not sure if a Hammond tune has ever been in the Eurovision but in some ways … Continue reading
THE BABYS – Broken Heart – (Chrysalis) – 1977
I only knew The Babys from the single "Isn't it Time" which is still a magnificent piece of AOR pop released on the cusp of punk and new wave. The Babys, critically, are usually referred to as one of the the … Continue reading
GLEN CAMPBELL – Southern Nights – (Capitol) – 1977
For background on Glen see "what Frank is listening to #76". Glen moved from guitarist extraordinaire to country pop crooner par excellance. I always prefer his albums that show off his guitar abilities but since the late 60s the … Continue reading
MICKEY NEWBURY – Rusty Tracks – (ABC Records) – 1977
I commented on Newbury back in "what Frank is listening to #78" in relation to his "His Eye is on the Sparrow" album from 1978. I said this back then: "It is Newbury's subtlety and thought that put him at the … 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 ESSEX – Gold & Ivory – (CBS) – 1977
what Frank is listening to #80 – DAVID ESSEX – Gold & Ivory (CBS) – 1977 I like David Essex. A dirty little secret? No ! Essex is one of the few contemporary artists I recollect liking in he 70s … Continue reading
