Here's
a link to Circuit Ryder. It's a great lost loner country/psych LP. Very few LP's
like this one out there that's for sure.
It's just off a cassette I had with no art or
info. Hopefully it will inspire someone to post a better copy with
information.

A Richmond, VA quartet (for this record, at least), one of the "curiocities" of SST label. I mean that this is a pure psychedelic record, released from a label known for its punk/hardcore/hard rock bands like the Minutemen, Black Flag, Meat Puppets, SWA etc.
'Black Pyramid' is an ode to the late 60s/early 70s psychedelia and American Beauty-era Grateful Dead. Those of you familiar with the oldies, may think of Mountain Bus or Bent Wind, while listening to this record. With titles like "Freedom Flight" and "Spacin' Out" you know what to expect. There's a strong folk feeling in this essentialy acid record: the use of unusual instruments like kalimba, shakuhachi, xylophone, panpipes, as well as the banjo on "Pan's Lament", beautifuly played by Bruce Blizzard emphasizes this.
The above refers mainly to the a-side with relatively short tracks, with rather tight structures and rock song format. The b-side is dominated by the 15-minute Soweto/Half the Time, where the band becomes a quin... |

An album many loved but so few heard? Or is it the other way around? I dunno, but everyone I ever played this for loved it. And I'm posting it by special request here, transferring it from my old site, so I guess the love-in continues. From AMG, about the band: A San Francisco supergroup of underground musicians, the Cat Heads formed in 1985. Singer and guitarist Mark Zanandrea was from the Leaches and Love Circus, guitarist Sam Babbit from the Ophelias, drummer Melanie Clarin played with just about everyone in town, and bassist Alan Korn hailed from X-Tal. The band traded vocal and songwriting chores to create a chaotic mix of folk-rock, indie-rock, joke-rock and country. Its 1987 debut, Hubba, was produced by the Rain Parade's Matt Piucci, and its follow-up, 1988's Submarine, was produced by Camper Van Beethoven's David Lowery. With so much insider support, it's a small wonder that the Cat Heads didn't survive the late-eighties post-R.E.M. groundswell of alternative bands, but instead disbanded after touring behind their sec... |

Bio :
Years before Joe Stampley began his ascent to country stardom, he
fronted a Louisiana rock band, the Uniques, who were quite popular in
the South, although national attention eluded them. The group were
ironically named in light of their failure to establish a truly
distinctive style. They were adept at blue-eyed soul, covering William
Bell's "You Don't Miss Your Water" and Art Neville's "All These
Things," landing a huge regional hit with the latter tune. They were
also capable of waxing good, original, Southern-flavored pop-rock,
especially on "Not Too Long Ago," another big Southern hit. And, oddly
enough, they also did an all-out, raunchy, R&B-hued garage-b...

 Jeff Tarlton - 2000 - Sinner (Limited 4 Song 7" EP)
Delerium Records HASH02
Side A :
A1 Sinner
A2 Trapezoid
Side B :
B1 Na Ja
B2 Lucifer
Very hard to find four track EP by the underground US troubadour who invented the 2005 psych folk revival in 1997. Keen to prove he's a man of many talents Jeff Tarlton gives it his all on this great EP which features four tracks ranging from acoustic fragile beauty through to all out Motor City acid rock. Jeffs high energy power trio cover version of Bob Seger's 'Lucifer' is particularly engrossing.

 In
the late 1970s and 1980s, the Moxie label was famous, or infamous, for
its Boulders compilations of obscure 1960s garage rock.
Boulders was to Pebbles what Pebbles was to Nuggets; an even rawer,
more obscure approach to unearthing 1960s garage music,
in both the rarities unearthed and the fidelity and graphics of the packages.
