SILVER CONDOR – Silver Condor – (CBS) – 1981
A band I had never heard of and, without being condescending, no doubt you haven’t either. I love musical archaeology – looking at the links between bands, members, scenes and genres. Too much rock music is consumed with … Continue reading
JOHN HARTFORD – You and Me at Home – (Flying Fish) – 1981
Yes, I know. Some people are saying, "not another John Hartford". What can I say except I have a large pile of records with quite a few Hartford's in there. Oh, and I like him. It’s funny that as … Continue reading

what Frank is listening to #213 – BOBBY GOLDSBORO – Bobby Goldsboro – (Epic) – 1981 Way back in what Frank is listening to #31 I said: As if there wouldn't be a Bobby Goldsboro LP in the pile … 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
MARLON McCLAIN – Changes – (Fantasy) – 1981
what Frank is listening to #39 – MARLON McCLAIN – Changes – (Fantasy) – 1981 The front and back cover artwork would indicate some sort of Afro-American rock or funk guitar virtuoso. And, McLain is a guitarist but an incredibly … Continue reading
FIREFALL – Clouds Across the Sun – (Atlantic) – 1981
what Frank is listening to #23 – FIREFALL – Clouds Across the Sun – (Atlantic) – 1981 I was expecting country rock – Firefall has links, via members, to The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Byrds. This though is a … Continue reading
