 UK progressive rock that blends rock, blues and jazz, featuring a horn section, a jazzy/bluesy progressive outfit. They utilised horns but it's some of the guitar leads which catch the ear. Roger Harrison guested on drums on the opening cut, Who Can I Trust? and their cover of Traffic's Coloured Rain. Most of the material was written by bassist Steve Hawthorn. This act should not be confused with the US Walrus, who issued an album in the US on Janus.

 Al Stewart is a Scottish singer-songwriter and folk-rock musician. Stewart came to stardom as part of the British folk revival in the 1960s and 1970s, and developed his own unique style of combining folk-rock songs with delicately woven tales of the great characters and events from history.He is best known for his hit 1976 single "Year of the Cat" from the platinum album Year of the Cat. Stewart released Orange in 1972. It was written after a tumultuous break-up with his girlfriend and muse, Mandi, and was very much a transitional album, combining songs in Stewart's confessional style with more intimations of the historical themes that he would increasingly adopt (e.g. "The News from Spain", with its prog-rock overtones, including dramatic piano by Rick Wakeman). Al Stewart - vocals, acoustic guitar, Tim Renwick - electric guitar, Spanish guitar, Cal Batchelor - Spanish guitar, Tim Walker - Spanish guitar, Brinsley Schwarz - 12-string acoustic guitar, Rick Wakeman - piano, organ, Bob Andrews - organ, Bruce Thomas, Brian Odgers - basses, John Wilson, Roger Pope, Graham Hunt - drums, John Donnelly, Mick Welton, Kevin Powers - backing vocals.01 - You Don't Even Know Me02 - Amsterdam03 - Songs Out Of Clay04 - The News From Spain05 - I Don't Believe You06 - Once An Orange, Always An Orange07 - I'm Falling08 - Night Of The 4Th Of MayLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
Sammy were a short lived supergroup featuring ex-members of Audience, Quatermass, The Herd, Silverhead, Episode Six and Ginhouse. Sporting a brass driven hard rock sound, the band released their sole album in 1972 to an apathetic record buying public. Though the band toured relentlessly for two years, their efforts were not met with success and the band folded by the end of 1974. In retrospect, this was a stellar effort despite the two pointless prog interludes that are featured here. At times the band sounded a bit like Audience and there were elements of Deep Purple scattered throughout. This isn't a surprise, considering the album was produced by Ian Gillan. In fact, drummer Mick Underwood would later join Gillan's solo project for a number of years. He would also form Strapps and a revamped Quatermass in the 90's.(RFR)01 - Give Me More02 - Ain't Never Loved A Woman03 - Sioux Eyed Lady04 - Boggle05 - 70 Days06 - Get Into A New Thing07 - Jo Anne08 - Boggled09 - Who Do You Really Love10 - Lady LoverLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
 Gary Lee Yoder is a musician who was part of several 1960s San Francisco psychedelic rock bands, including Kak, Oxford Circle, and Blue Cheer. Oxford Circle (formed in 1966) and Kak (formed in 1968) were both formed in Yoder's hometown of Davis, California, and featured the same nucleus of members. While Oxford Circle frequently shared the stage with greats such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Janis Joplin, they did not achieve the same level of fame and never got a record deal. Kak would release only one record in 1969, entitled Kak, which has become a collector's item. It was reissued in 1999 as Kak-ola by Big Beat Records, which additionally contained unreleased solo work by Yoder.01 - Hco 9765802 - Everything's Changing03 - Electric Sailor04 - Disbelievin'05 - I've Got Time06 - Flowing By07 - Bryte 'n' Clear Day08 - Trieulogy Golgotha Mirage (Iii) Rain09 - Lemonaide Kid10 - Rain (Single Version)11 - Everything's Changing (Previously Unissued Acoustic Demo)12 - I've Got Time (Previously Unissued Acoustic Demo)13 - Medleybye Bye Easy Jack (Previously Unissued)14 - Bryte 'n' Clear Day (Previously Unissued Acoustic Live Version)15 - Medleymirage Rain (Previously Unissued Acoustic Live Version)16 - When Love Comes In (Previously Unissued)17 - I Miss You (Previously Unissued)18 - Lonely People Blues (Previously Unissued)19 - Flight From The East20 - Good Time MusicLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
 I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again was the fifth album by Native American singer/songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. As its title suggested, it saw her, again following Joan Baez, embrace Nashville country music with the help of session veterans such as the Jordanaires, Grady Martin, Roy M. Huskey, "Junior" and Floyd Cramer. The album included re-recordings of "Now That the Buffalo's Gone" and "The Piney Wood Hills" from her first and second albums respectively. "Tall Trees in Georgia", in contrast to most of the material, showed Sainte-Marie performing in a style reminiscent of her earliest work. I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again was not as well received critically or even commercially as her previous four albums, and relatively few of the songs unique to it have notable cover versions (Neko Case's cover of "Soulful Shade of Blue" may be considered an exception). The title tune, however, was to become a minor UK hit after she reached the Top Ten there with the title tune to the movie Soldier Blue (from her album She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina).01 - I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again02 - He's A Pretty Good Man If You Ask Me03 - Uncle Joe04 - A Soulful Shade Of Blue05 - From The Bottom Of My Heart06 - Sometimes When I Get To Thinkin'07 - The Piney Wood Hills08 - Now That The Buffalo's Gone09 - They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Around10 - Tall Trees In Georgia11 - The Love Of A Good Man12 - Take My Hand For Awhile13 - Gonna Feel Much Better When You're GoneLINK (RS) or LINK (FS) |
