Ten Years After – Then and Now

Ten Years After – Then and Now One of my favorite bands from the 60’s and early 70’s was Ten Years After and not just because of Alvin Lee’s guitar wizardry. No, while I liked the overall blues rock feel of the band and loved tracks like “Good Morning, Little …

Old Friends – Ten Years After

One of my favorite bands from the 60’s and early 70’s was Ten Years After and not just because of Alvin Lee’s guitar wizardry. No, while I liked the overall blues rock feel of the band and loved tracks like “Good Morning, Little School Girl” and “Woke up this Morning”‘ …

Polydor Artists Circa 1971!

So last night when I was listening to Jake Holmes I pulled out the album sleeve and looked at the other artist on the Polydor Label at that time. Some of the names are only familiar and a couple I do have the albums. Area Code 615 and John Mayall’s …

Forgotten Friday Set List

So the first album that came out of the stack of vinyl here next to the old USB record player was Tom Paxton’s 1983 release Bulletin. While Tom is one of my all-time favorites this album never got a lot of spins. I guess because a few other things were …

Twangy Tuesday – Two High String Band

So I finished listening to Michael Martin Murphey’s CD Buckaro Blue Grass and overall I really like the CD particularly “Cherokee Fiddle” and “Fiddlin’ Man” and ” Close to the Land”. Overall I’d rate it a 4 out of 5 stars. I really liked it just didn’t love it. I …
