Locomotive were a somewhat legendary band that came out of Birmingham
in the late sixties. As an aside an early line up of the band featured
Traffic's Chris Wood and Black Sabbaths first manager Jim Simpson. Sax
player Dick Heckstall Smith also guests on this the bands only album.
The album opens up with the track Overture which leads into the single
Mr Armageddon. Despite being of its time this album still has something
special about it and perhaps it is the mixture of jazz, psychedelia and
progressive rock that lends it an air of something special. Certainly
there was nothing like this blend around at the time with most bands
tending to go with one of the aforementioned genres rather than the
eclectic mix Locomotive employed.

Australian supergroup of the early 70s, don't pay attention to the horrible cover, this album has some great, rockin' songs and Bobbi Marchini was a powerfull singer, following the Janis Joplin tradition.
In early '72 several Hunger members hooked up with producer-singer-songwriter G.Wayne Thomas, who had recently made his name with production and songs for the hugely successful MORNING OF THE EARTH soundtrack. Bobbi Marchini, John Robinson and Steve Webb became the core a new "supergroup" called Duck, with the lineup completed renowned jazzer and session pianist Bobby Gebert (who worked with many well-known rock bands including Tully), bassist Teddy Toi (ex-Aztecs, Fanny Adams, Wild Cherries and percussionist Larry Duryea (ex Tamam Shud.
Thomas originally intended Duck as a 'studio-only' project, featu... |

 No
introduction needed. Nick Drake is, IMO, the greatest and most soulful
of all folk guitarists/songwriters. What's more, the words of his songs
are not merely lyrics: they are POETRY, great, introspective, fragile
poetry. His music has been my company for more than ten years; yet,
every time I listen to his songs, I feel like it's the first time.
There isn't even a single song by Nick Drake that I don't like. All of... |

Colwell-Winfield Blues Band - 1971 - Live Bust
Progressive bluesrock recorded live at the Phoenix Coffee House.
The band had an earlier major label LP in the same style ("Cold Wind
Blues", Verve Forecast, 1968).
Tracks :
A1 Cursin Blues
A2 Have A Taste
A3 Help Me
A4 How Blue Can You Get
B1 Eyesight To The Blind
B2 Sombrero Sam
B3 Don't Start Me Talkin'
B4 Stop Breakin Down
I was happy to see the Colwell-Winfield Blues Band included on a Bosstown Sound sampler because I thought they were forgotten and maybe would not be invited to the party because they were not playing rock. They were definately part of the scene. A lot of us rockers were finding th... |

Young's work is characterized by deeply personal lyrics, distinctive guitar work, and signature nasal tenor singing voice. Although he accompanies himself on several different instruments—including piano and harmonica—his style of claw-hammer acoustic guitar and often idiosyncratic sol... |

Another record that remains undiscovered and is stuck in the wishlists of several collectors for a long time.
No information available about this band, just unconfirmed relations with a couple New Mexico bands (Hooterville Trolley and Xit).
Released in 1970 on Uni Records (which released also the Strawberry Alarm Clock, Druids of Stonehedge, Alexander's Timeless Bloozband, and American Blues, along with R'n'B, Neil Diamond and Elton John records), this came out in a nice gatefold sleeve (like many albums from this label).
If Magic Sand reissued today would be labeled as Xsian Blues/Psych and this would be 2/3 true (all reissues had to be labeled psych though...). In the 11 tracks of the album there are 7 blues or rhythm'n'blues numbers (some of them standards with altered lyrics), an instru... |
