Badger was a British rock band from the early 1970s. The band was co-founded by keyboardist Tony Kaye after he left Yes, with David Foster. The pair found drummer Roy Dyke, formerly of Ashton, Gardner & Dyke, and Dyke suggested Brian Parrish on guitar. The new band signed to Atlantic Records. Badger's first release was the live album, One Live Badger, co-produced by Jon Anderson and Geoffrey Haslam, and was taken from a show opening for Yes. In the progressive rock genre, five of the songs were co-written by the whole band, with a sixth by Parrish. 01 - Wheel Of Fortune 02 - Fountain 03 - Wind Of Change 04 - River 05 - The Preacher 06 - On The Way Home LINK

Barefoot Jerry was and is a Nashville-based Southern rock and progressive Country band most active from 1971-1977. It was composed of area studio musicians under the tutelage of Wayne Moss, lead guitarist of Area Code 615, and other 615 alumni. This name is also used to refer to Moss and his sidemen in current reunions and other projects. Moss founded Cinderella Recording Studios and has operated it since 1960. Barefoot Jerry's first line up consisted of: Wayne Moss guitar/keyboards/vocals, Mac Gayden - guitar/keyboards/vocals, Kenneth A. Buttrey - drums, and John Harris - keyboards. This line up of Barefoot Jerry recorded the superb Southern Delight before Gayden left in 1972. 01 - Hospitality Song 02 - I'm Proud To Be A Redneck 03 - Smokies 04 - Quit While You're A Head 05 - Blood Is Not The Answer 06 - Come To Me Tonight 07 - Finishing Touches 08 - The Minstrel Is Free At Last 09 - Nobody Knows 10 - That's Ok, He'll Be Your Brother Someday LINK

Minor heroes of the East Coast garage-psych boom of the late '60s, the Druids of Stonehenge were a New York-based band. With an average age of 17, the group formed as the Druids in 1965, and that November a lineup comprised of Budge, guitarists Carl Hauser and Billy Tracy, bassist Tim Workman, and drummer Steve Tindall entered Manhattan's Nola Studios. This first session produced versions of "Who Do You Love," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Pretty Thing," and "I Put a Spell on You"; further sessions cut over the next year or so included similarly seething covers of Bo Diddley's "I (Who Have Nothing)" and "Bald Headed Woman." These earliest recordings have since been compiled onto a self-titled Sundazed mini-album, selections and performances that place the band firmly in the Rolling Stones/Pretty Things-flavored camp of brutally high-octane R&B. In 1968, the newly renamed and psychedelically realigned Druids of Stonehenge relocated to the West Coast and, signing to the Uni label, cut the single "A Garden Where Nothing Grows" and the album Creation. Notable for further stylized covers, Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and Love's "Signed D.C." among them, together with a fiery retread of "I Put a Spell on You," the album was recorded in two sets of sessions, the bulk at TTG in L.A., the remainder back at Nola in New York. For many years best known only for the two songs later culled for the Baubles, Vol. 1 compilation, "Six Feet Down" and "Pale Dream," Creation has also since been reissued by Sundazed.(AMG) 01 - Six Feet Down 02 - Earthless 03 - I Put A Spell On You 04 - Speed 05 - Bring It On Home (Can't Get By Alone) 06 - Painted Woman 07 - Pale Dream 08 - Signed, D.C 09 - Forgot To Begot 10 - A Garden Where Nothing Grows 11 - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue LINK
The Illinois Speed Press was an American rock band formed - originally as The Rovin' Kind - in Chicago, later relocating to California.

Paul Cotton, guitar vocals, Kal David, guitar vocals, Mike Anthony, keyboards, vocals, Fred Page, drums, Keith Anderson, bass and Rob Lewine, bass. 01 - Get In The Wind 02 - Hard Luck Story 03 - Here Today 04 - Pay The Price 05 - P.N.S. When You Come Around 06 - Be A Woman 07 - Sky Song 08 - Beauty 09 - Free Ride 10 - Right On Time 11 - Nite People 12 - G.I.T.W. Part II (Instrumental) LINK
Life in a Tin Can is the Bee Gees' eleventh studio album, released in January 1973. The Bee Gees moved their base of operations from England, UK to Los Angeles, California, U.S. to record Life in a Tin Can. However, it was unable to prevent a commercial decline with the album criticized for a lack of innovation. Despite its low sales and poor chart performance, Life In A Tin Can was awarded "Album of the Year" by Record World magazine. This would also be the first Bee Gees album to bear the RSO label in the US. The lead track, "Saw a New Morning," contains melodic ideas that the group would revisit on the later track "Edge of the Universe." Most of Life in a Tin Can is both lyrically and musically downbeat, which perhaps reflects the brothers' mental states at the time. The album reached #10 on the Italian charts and sold 175,000 copies worldwide. "Saw a New Morning" was a number one hit in Hong Kong. 01 - I saw A New Morning 02 - I Don't Wanna Be The One 03 - South Dakota Morning 04 - Living In Chicago 05 - While I Play 06 - My Life Has Been A Song 07 - Come Home Johnny Birdie 08 - Method To My Madness LINK
Between the recording of their Life In A Tin Can and Mr. Natural albums, the Bee Gees cut an entire album in Hollywood titled A Kick in the Head is Worth Eight in the Pants, working with musical arranger Jimmie Haskell. Altough a couple of songs did come out on a single in mid 1973, the group was dissatisfied with the result and decided to cancel the release of the album. 01 - A Lonely Violin 02 - Losers And Lovers 03 - Home Again Rivers 04 - Dear Mr. Kissinger 05 - Jesus In Heaven 06 - Harry's Gate 07 - Rocky L.A. 08 - Castles In The Air 09 - Where Is Your Sister 10 - Life, Am I Wasting My Time 11 - Money (With Jerry Lee Lewis) 12 - Alexanders Ragtime Band 13 - Hey Jude (With Wilson Pickett) Beatles Medley 14 - Bye Bye Blackbird LINK
Main Course is the Bee Gees' thirteenth album, released in 1975 for the RSO label, and their last album to be released by Atlantic Records in the U.S. under its distribution deal with Robert Stigwood. This album marked a change for the Bee Gees as it was their first album to include disco hits, and it created the model for their output through the rest of the 1970s. 01 - Nights on Broadway 02 - Jive Talking 03 - Wind of change 04 - Songbird 05 - Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) 06 - All This Making Love 07 - Country Lanes 08 - Come On Over 09 - Edge Of The Universe 10 - Baby As You Turn Away LINK
Children of the World is the Bee Gees' fourteenth album, released in September 1976. The first single, "You Should Be Dancing", went to number one in the US and Canada, and was a top ten hit in numerous other territories. The album has sold over 2.5 million copies. Because their manager Robert Stigwood had ended his U.S. distribution arrangement with Atlantic Records, Atlantic producer Arif Mardin, who had produced the Bee Gees' prior two albums, was no longer permitted to work with the group. In an effort to retain the same sound, the Bee Gees recorded at the same studios (Criteria Studios in Miami), used the same engineer (Karl Richardson) and co-produced the album themselves with Richardson and his friend, session musician Albhy Galuten. The effort succeeded, as the new album produced three hit singles, including a #1 in the U.S., just like its predecessor Main Course. It also featured the hit singles "Love So Right" and "Boogie Child" which peaked at #3 and #12 respectively in the U.S.
01 You Should Be Dancing 02 You Stepped Into My Life 03 Love So Right 04 Lovers 05 Can't Keep A Good Man Down 06 Boogie Child 07 Love Me 08 Subway 09 The Way It Was 10 Children Of The World
