Ramblers...


I am guessing this would be popular with the kids if it were released today instead of eleven years ago. To let y'all know this is Victoria Williams and Mark Olson(the Jayhawks) doing laid-back west coast Joshua Tree folk.
here ye go

i'm gonna make her


I think it was two years ago listening to an old CD from Oxford American, that I came across a song by Jim Ford. Later I cam across a Year's Best List that included this gem. It took some time and extra cash to find it, since it is a German import. But so worth it!
Some funky ass country, or something from Mr. Ford. Who wrote songs for/with and hung out with Sly Stone and Bobby Womack and other crazy LA crazies.
This disc has his only full length plus singles and some unreleased songs.

Raw Spitt


Here is one I have been wanting to put up for awhile. I guess Swamp Dogg didn;t want to flood the market with his albums, so he recruited Charlie Whitehead to become Raw Spitt and made this album. Pretty much the same vein as ol Swamp Dogg.

Ain't Hittin On Nuthin


Here is the wonderful album "The Backbone of America Is A Mule And Cotton" from Abner Jay. An awesome one-man-band. Side A has the title track plus 5 Stephen Foster hits, side B is a Medley of six gospel songs. Dad had this hidden amongst the Various Artists section, along with a few other nice records that will be thrown up here at some point.

Quah





Here is an album I picked up at the Alley Walk a couple years back. The first solo album by Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna fame. This is also credited to Tom Hobson, who has two of the songs on here. A bunch of originals by both men, along with some Rev. Gary Davis and other cover tunes. And an awesome flying psychedelic ice cream cone-man cover.
This is guitars, voice and a few strings. Which seems like it will veer into cheeseiness, but it stays cool throughout.
