Going into the studio after Dylan's move into rock accompaniment and Sgt. Pepper's vast expansion of pop music, Ochs wanted to make a record that reflected all these trends, and he hired producer Larry Marks, arranger Ian Freebairn-Smith, and pianist Lincoln Mayorga — all of whom had classical backgrounds — to help him realize his vision. The result was Pleasures of the Harbor, his most musically varied and ambitious album, one routinely cited as his greatest accomplishment.

Laurel Canyon wonderfully captures the natural, idyllic vibe of its titular setting, the creative nexus of the late-'60s Los Angeles music scene. Swapping the polished pop approach of Jackie DeShannon's past hits for an appealingly rough-edged country-soul sensibility, the record celebrates a place and time that transcended the physical world to signify a virtual Garden of Eden for the flower-power generation. Featuring extensive contributions from pianist Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack and guitarist Russ Titleman.

The Standells.
A band that needs no introductions, a true garage with classic tracks like Why Pick On Me, Black Hearted Woman, Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White, Mr. Nobody.

The Sound released Jeopardy back in 1980, a real overlooked post-punk masterpiece that holds up well 30 years later with great songs like Heartland, Missiles and Heyday. The band hailed from London and included Michael Dudley, Adrian Borland, Bi Marshall and Graham Green.

Mississippi John Hurt was born March 8, 1892 in Carroll County, Mississippi. There is dispute over exactly where he was born, but the most likely spot is Avalon, near Greenwood. Hurt’s interest in music started early. When he was just nine, his mother bought him a Black Anne guitar for $1.50, and in a short time, he had taught himself to play. Because of the remote location of Avalon, Mississippi John was never exposed to the wandering bluesmen who traveled the Delta. This enabled him to develop his own guitar style, unencumbered by popular influence. "I taught myself to play the guitar the way I thought the guitar should sound." He learned as many songs as he could from the field hands and other worker, playing primarily for personal enjoyment, but sometimes for local dances and celebrations.

Wild Tales is a 1973 album by Graham Nash. All songs that appear on this album were written by Graham Nash.Contrary to the title, Nash's second solo album offers no wild tales but instead delivers retrospective observations in a restrained country-rock style.

Closing Time is the debut album of Tom Waits,released in 1973 on Asylum Records,produced and arranged by former Lovin' Spoonful member Jerry Yester.

(1967 Smash Records)
Jimmy Castors first successful recording. This album is packed full of funked up latin rhythms and dance floor corkers! I also include the 45 single version of "Hey Leroy Your Mama's Callin' You" because the mastering is considerably different from the album version. Enjoy!
The Ronettes were a 1960s girl group from New York City, best known for their work with producer Phil Spector.
Phil Spector may have given the group their hits but their irresistible charisma kept them as princesses of pop for a solid 16 months.
This is one group that will always be special,
their tunes are simply perfect!
