A 23-song collection combining two albums that Tom Rush recorded in 1963 (Got a Mind to Ramble and Blues, Songs and Ballads) onto a single CD. Rush plays acoustic guitar, accompanied only by Fritz Richmond on washtub bass, for a selection of almost exclusively traditional material; the only track penned by Rush himself is the opener, "Duncan and Brady." This anthology is definitive early-'60s Cambridge coffeehouse music, which means that it's a bit quaintly dated, and also that it's Sunday-morning listening in the good sense of the term. Rush plays accomplished acoustic guitar and sings with calm authority, though he's no one's ideal bluesman (or even ideal white bluesman). The traditional blues covers, which dominated the original Blues, Songs and Ballads LP (now the second part of this CD), can sound pretty callow; the folkier ones work better, one highlight being the instrumental "Mole's Moan," penned by a young Maria Muldaur.

Eddie Kendricks - People... Hold On
Tamla, 1972
A beautiful masterpiece of soul, and one in which Eddie defined and predicted styles that would shape the music significantly in the 70's. Includes the massive 7 minute original version of "Girl, You Need A Change Of Mind", plus the excellent "Date With The Rain", "I'm On The Sideline", and "People Hold On". A great LP, and one that's darn tough to find in good shape!

Blue Mitchell - Funktion Junction (1976)

Blue Mitchell made his name as a member of Horace Silver's quintet, where his lyrical playing and beautiful timbre perfectly complemented Silver's simplified, soulful brand of bop. When Silver disbanded his group the members stayed together under Mitchell's leadership; Silver and Brooks were replaced by Chick Corea and Al Foster, whose places were later taken by Harold Mabern and Billy Higgins.
A very good and very funky record by Blue Mitchell.

The search party - montgomery chapel(1969)

 

A rare religious rock album by a from Wisconsin band who relocated to Sacramento, California. Many of the tracks feature lovely female vocals, although part of Side Two is more acoustic and folky with male vocals.
At its best the album is superb. A mystical atmosphere is created by the floating, melodic psychedelia of songs like When He Calls, So Many Things Have Got Me Down and The News Is You. Just listen and drift away.

(1971)
"In God We Trust" is Don Nix' first solo album. Before this he was already a bit of a legend in his own spare time. He played sax in The Mar-Keys, a famous studio band for the Stax label. He played with The Alabama State Troopers and has been involved with many interesting artists as a producer. And then he made a few albums on his own. Which is something he still does occasionally.

Buffy Sainte-Marie - Illumnations(1969)

Buffy Sainte-Marie was an Indian before it became fashionable to be one and sang about Native issues when nobody else did. She also wrote and performed songs about the state of the world, and people's sweetest emotions. This record serves to remind us all of her unique voice and unwavering strength of character.

A California pop rock group, this time with five guys and a really energetic girl lead singer. When it comes to style think Mamas and the Papas, though Yankee Dollar is nowhere near that legendary group when it comes to sparkling harmonies, superb arrangements, and terrific songs.

Ernie Graham was a member of Eire Apparent, whose claim to fame was their Sunrise album, produced by Jimi Hendrix. His brilliant 1971 solo record often gets the ‘pub rock’ tag, but sounds closer to genuine Americana, like The Band record that never was. It doesn’t feel like most pub rock
it may just be because Graham hailed from England that we call it pub rock. Labels aside, this is a pretty much perfect record.
