There are numerous passing references to Townes Van Zandt in these pages, but until now the nearest he's come to a dedicated post is the uReview of his 1968 freshman album For The Sake Of A Song which examines its debatably elaborate orchestration and production. But whatever the issues concerning the debut, there's no doubt that by this 1972 offering, the last from his fertile five-year period on Poppy/Tomato, he'd got his recording process exactly right. The accompaniments on this collection display a variety appropriate to the varying nature of the songs, yet the playing is [...]
While Jesse Ed Davis' legacy has finally started to see the light of recognition, there is still a long way to go in establishing his rightful place in the pantheon of rock and roll legends. The Kiowa guitarist's career encompassed work with everyone from Conway Twitty to John Lee Hooker to Bob Dylan, and his time served in the original Taj Mahal band would be highly influential on up-and-coming guitar slingers like Duane Allman (he being the inspiration for the latter's taking up bottleneck-style guitar in the first place). Davis never really managed to establish himself as a [...]

Mother Earth has to be one of the best American rock and roll bands to have ever been forgotten. A hot act in its day, it seems folks have tended to overlook the group in recent years. Perhaps the band's firm center in hardcore 1960s blues and soul music makes them just a little too straight for today's forward-thinking music listeners more hip to the weird, experimental sounds of bands like Faust or The Incredible String Band than righteous electric combos like the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (now that I mention it, East/West really does beg review on [...]
The 1968 self-titled debut by California based country rock group Southwind is a rather obscure little gem. The unique combination of country, psych, soul, funk, and just good old rock & roll turns this record into a stew of great listening, and really makes this record stand out. The band's origins can be traced back to Norman, Oklahoma, while members were attending the University of Oklahoma. Coming together first as a rockabilly-flavored band known as "The Disciples," the group comprised John "Moon" Martin (guitar, vocals), Jim Pulte (bass, vocals), Phil Hope (organ), and Eric Dalton (drums). Soon after [...]

Hook-filled guitar-based indie-rock and power-pop If the Brill Building had lasted into the twenty-first century, one could only hope they'd be turning out pieces of pop perfection like the Perishers' "Spectre." The song builds from a lovely guitar riff, gently strummed acoustics and an infectious vocal melody, and by time the drummer kicks in with Hal Blaine's iconic "Be My Baby" beat, the strums have gained force, the bass line has grown insistent and the guitar solo chimes with simple authority. The song's lyrics are slight but potent, particularly the line "I have always [...]
Rick Sings Nelson , Rick Nelson's first studio album with the pioneering Stone Canyon Band, really does deserve the reputation of "stone-cold classic". Expanding tenfold upon the razor-sharp music and harmonies of the Stone Canyon's debut record, In Concert , Rick Sings Nelson was actually the singer's first album of wholly original material (hence the title). It's unbelievable that it took him this long start laying his songs on the public like this, because they're pretty great, and certainly miles above lots of the crud he had been running through for the preceding [...]
This week was good show week, in town beginning on Friday we had Hank 3, City and Colour, Bright Eyes and Nick 13 with Brett Detar . I must say it was an fantastic week of shows. I'd like to say I saw them all but alas I really have no extra money this week, so I opted for the Nick 13 and Brett Detar show. Let me just say, I am happy with my decision. Nick 13 and Brett Detar rocked my country/folk socks right off. [...]
Chip Taylor's This Side of the Big River is probably one of the best underground country albums you've never heard. Though the record plays things pretty straight for its genre, it also boasts some pretty solid underground credentials. Not only is Chip Taylor the songwriter behind such Troggs classics as "Wild Thing" and "Any Way That You Want Me" (not to mention "Try," the great kozmik soul shouter made famous by Janis Joplin), but he's also the brother of the Midnight Cowboy himself, actor Jon Voight. In addition, three cuts on Big River feature Chip's friend [...]
These pages are overflowing with tales of bands that came within a whisker of making it big in the halcyon years of rock: bands for which talent, originality and a fine first album wasn't enough to propel them into the commercial big-time and which subsequently fell by the wayside. Few came closer than Hardwater; only their timing probably let them down. Their back pedigree was immaculate; guitarist Richard Fifield and bassist Robert McLerran had been members of the Astronauts, the Boulder-based surf outfit who'd released a string of nationally successful singles and albums on RCA between 1962 and [...]
Cowboy was a country-rock group usually remembered for their associations (Allman Brothers and Eric Clapton) rather than the fine body of music they produced in the early 70s. 52ll Getcha Ten was Cowboy's second LP, released by the Capricorn label in 1972. Never released on cd, this is arguably Cowboy's finest moment and indeed one of the best forgotten country-rock albums from the late 60s/early 70s. It's worth mentioning that one of Cowboy's key members, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Tommy Talton was formerly in the great Florida garage rock group We The People. Scott Boyer, Cowboy's other [...]
