BRIAN OLIVE, who has 2 albums and a new EP to his move; he had previously been in two well regarded bands, the Greenhornes and Soledad Brothers.
Another quite under-appreciated rock musician has died – one of the first singer/songwriters actually, Lesley Gore.
I am marking my fourth year of posts in my Notes about Under-Appreciated Rock Bands and Under-Appreciated Rock Artists with this short retrospective.
SILVERBIRD, the first Native American rock band to get an album released on a major record label.
I gotta work today, but I’m going to love it as much as I can. I’m setting the LP’s aside for a while and spinning CD’s for the next several days or weeks.
Unbeknowst to me, several of my recent Under-Appreciated Rock Band of the Month posts were restricted only to friends, and some to specific friends.
LES SINNERS, a 1960’s French Canadian garage-rock band. They recorded mostly in French, but with some English songs on their first album.
We have been bombarded with important anniversaries this year. In music, they all seem to go back to 1962: The first album by Bob Dylan, etc.
THOMAS ANDERSON, a terrific rock-oriented singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas; plus what I call “Martin Winfree’s Record Buying Guide”.
Laugh While You Can, Monkey Boy!, a great compilation CD of Bomp! Records artists; the full CD on YouTube.
