Certainly one of the classic country-rock records, Lost In The Ozone was Commander Cody's first disc released back in 1971 (MCA). The original group formed sometime around 1967 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Eventually they would relocate to San Fransisco and become a major live phenomenon. The group were led by pianist George Frayne (Commander Cody), vocalist/harp player Billy C. Farlowe, pedal steel player Don Bolton...
John Prine has had a long and distinguished career as a songwriter working the line between folk and country. As is so often the case, he made his biggest mark with his first album, released in 1971. After a stint serving in the army (always a great source for song ideas) Prine began playing open mic nights in his native Chicago. He comes from the...
Mountain Bus is the kind of band you get into after you've exhausted all your major label heroes. They were one of Chicago's great underground bands who were dealt a bad deck of cards. Mountain Bus were frequently cited as Chicago's answer to the Grateful Dead, and indeed some of their songs on the above album sound like San Fransisco's most cherished sons. Mountain Bus' roots extend way back to the early 60's when Ed Mooney was fronting a band called the Moons and the Stars. Tom Jurkens was in another local group called Jurk [...]

Atlanta native Tommy Roe (warning: loud autoplaying music) recorded his version of Stag in 1971, and actually had his last hit with it Remember how I said last week that Fats Domino's version of Stag was upbeat? Well, today's version is even MORE upbeat, almost to the point of being obnoxious. I have a friend who doesn't like oldies, or any of the rock and roll of the fifties or sixties at all. His least favorite song of all time is Tommy Roe's "Sweet Pea" -- the relentless cheeriness can grate on my nerves [...]

Unable to get over my Ernie Graham addiction, I set out in search of more from the ilk of rootsy pre pub rock and stumbled across this gem from 1971. Help Yourself formed in the wake of Brinsley Schwarz but with a strong ear to The Band, forging a raw and honest Americana sound on their first LP. Not nearly as dippy as the cover art suggests, this is a fine sample of straight California rock that's really from the UK. Recorded at The Grange in Headley, previously used by Led Zeppelin to record the [...]
In 1971 the Leicestershire UK-based band Spring recorded its first album at Rockfield Recording Studios with Elton John cohort Gus Dudgeon producing. The music was recorded live to tape, with just some acoustic guitar overdubbed later. This is music awash in seas of rolling Mellotron tones - at times you'll think you're drowning in melancholy marzipan. At times all three Mellotrons are in use, each with a different tone, and it makes for quite a rich and ornate musical tapestry. Just close your eyes while you listen to "Grail" and you'll know what I'm talking about. [...]
There are great musicians, great shows and great recording - and then there's Neil Young - an amazing set! Rarely do all of these elements come together and the material is still not available to enjoy. With Neil Young's recent release of the Massey Hall 1971 show there is a lot of love out there these days for his music - and especially tracks from this era. Presenting: Neil Young Live at the BBC 1971... NEIL YOUNG Image: [...]
20 Granite Creek was another comeback disc that Moby Grape issued in 1971 (Reprise). Just like other comeback efforts 69 and Melvilles, this one delivers the goods in a more subdued, laidback country-rock fashion. The five original members who played on the 1967 debut are all present though Skip Spence only contributes one fascinating original, the instrumental Chinese Song. Chinese Song is incredible, completely unlike anything the Grape would record again and more proof of Skip Spence's genius. While Spence provided the Grape with an undefinable magic, Mosley, Lewis, Stevenson, and [...]
This is my final Lebowskifest post for '08. The Rolling Stones released " Dead Flowers " in 1971, though they'd started recording it back in 1969. It's a song that's been covered a LOT -- the perfect country song for a rock band, and the perfect rock song for a country band. I've gone overboard for this edition of Multiple Mondays, with eleven versions (though I still can't claim it's even near complete) so you get to hear all-rock and all-folk versions, in addition to the various mixtures of rock and country. (I also had all-country and all-pop versions, but [...]
Wig-out bands, sexy girls and gunfights...
Ernie Graham came from the band, Eire Apparent, whose claim to fame was their Sunrise album, produced by Jimi Hendrix. His brilliant solo record falls under the pub rock tag, but sounds genuinely American, much like a Band album you wish existed. It doesn't feel like most pub rock (surprising, considering Nick Lowe's Brinsley Schwarz filled out the backing band); it may just be because Graham was from England that we call it pub rock. Labels aside, this is a pretty much perfect record. Sebastian is wonderful, but overtly dylanesque. The impersonation tones down on later [...]
