Ellen McIlwaine is an American singer-songwriter and musician best known for her career as a slide guitarist. Born in Nashville, McIlwaine was adopted by missionaries and raised in Kobe, Japan, giving her exposure to multiple languages and cultures. She attended Canadian Academy, a K-12 international school in Kobe, graduating in 1963. Her first experience in music was playing Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair songs on piano that she heard on Japanese radio. On moving to back to the United States she bought a guitar, beginning a stage career in Atlanta, Georgia in the mid-1960s. In 1966, she had a stint in New York City's Greenwich Village where she opened every night at the Cafe Au Go Go, playing with a young Jimi Hendrix, and opening for Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and Big Joe Williams. She returned to Atlanta to form the band Fear Itself, a psychedelic blues-rock band. After recording one album with Fear Itself, McIlwaine went solo, recording two albums for Polydor, Honky Tonk Angel (1972) and We the People (1973), the latter featuring a hit single, "I Don't Want to Play". Those albums, and most of her work since, have featured McIlwaine's approach to acoustic slide guitar. Honky Tonk Angel is the 1972 debut solo album by Ellen McIlwaine, following her departure from Fear Itself. The first side of the album contains songs that were recorded live at The Bitter End in New York City while side two of the record is made up of studio recordings. The album was re-released on CD in 1993.01 - Toe Hold02 - Weird Of Hermiston03 - Up From The Skies04 - Losing You05 - It's Growing06 - Ode To Billy Joe07 - Pinebo (My Story)08 - Can't Find My Way Home09 - Wings Of A Horse10 - It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels11 - Wade In The WaterLINK |
Kathryn Marie McDonald, popularly known as Kathi McDonald, is a blues and rock singer. She currently performs with Kathi McDonald & Friends. She has appeared on an extensive list of rock and blues albums and toured extensively with Long John Baldry prior to his death. Kathi was born in Anacortes, Washington and resides in the Seattle Washington state area but still has strong San Francisco music connections. At the age of 19 she set off for San Francisco and its burgeoning musical climate, where she met the Turners and, through her association with them, took the first step on a career path that would span more than three decades. McDonald got her big break and her first big professional gig when she was attending an Ike (& Tina) Turner concert and was singing in the audience at Winterland. Her powerful voice drew Ike Turner's notice and he invited the aspiring singer to his and Tina Turner's next rehearsal. McDonald had snagged a spot in the Ikettes. It was a heady and magical beginning for someone who never had any formal lessons. This is the debut solo album.01 - Bogart To Bowie02 - To Love Somebody03 - (Love Is Like A) Heatwave04 - Threw My Love Away05 - Freak Lover06 - Down To The Wire07 - Heartbreak Hotel08 - If You Need Me09 - Something Else10 - All I Want To Be11 - Insane AsylumLINK |

 Many a Mile is Buffy Sainte-Marie's second album, released in 1965. Though originally released on Vanguard Records, it was never reissued on CD when the rest of Sainte-Marie's catalog for that label came out in the late 1990s. The only CD issues of Many a Mile has been an Italian issues via Fontana and is now long out of print and extremely expensive if it can be found. The album contained a larger proportion of traditional material than her debut, including a number of Child ballads. The most famous song here is "Until It's Time for You to Go", which has been covered by Cher, Neil Diamond, Shirley Bassey, Françoise Hardy and Elvis Presley. "Groundhog" shows Sainte-Marie playing her unique mouthbow. The song "The Piney Wood Hills" was later re-recorded for I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again three years later.01 - Must I Go Round02 - Los Pescadores03 - Ground Hog04 - On The Banks Of Red Roses05 - Fixin' To Die06 - Until It's Time For You To Go07 - The Piney Wood Hills08 - Welcome, Welcome Emigrante09 - Broke Down Girl10 - Johnny Be Fair11 - Maple Sugar Boy12 - Lazarus13 - Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies14 - Many A MileLINK |
Love was an American rock group from Los Angeles of the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were led by singer, songwriter and guitarist Arthur Lee and the group's second songwriter, guitarist Bryan MacLean. One of the first racially diverse American pop bands, their music reflected different influences, combining elements of rock and roll, garage rock, folk and psychedelia. Arthur Lee - lead vocals, percussion, harmonica, drums, John Echols - lead guitar, - Bryan Maclean - rhythm guitar, lead vocals, Ken Forssi - bass and Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer - drums. Love is the eponymous debut by Love. Twelve of the album's fourteen tracks were recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood on January 24-27, 1966. The remaining two tracks ("A Message To Pretty" and "My Flash On You") come from another, undocumented session. One of the first rock albums issued on then-folk giant Elektra Records, the album was anchored by the group's radical reworking of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David song "My Little Red Book" which had guitar riffs that gave Syd Barrett some inspiration to write the Pink Floyd song "Interstellar Overdrive" which is on Pink Floyd's album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, the anti-drug anthem "Signed D.C." (allegedly a reference to one-time Love drummer Don Conka), and the poignant "A Message to Pretty". The stark instrumental "Emotions" is used uncredited in Haskell Wexler's 1969 film Medium Cool as a recurring theme. "My Little Red Book" was featured over the final credits of the movie High Fidelity in 2000, and the Beverly Hills 90210 episode "Alone at the Top" in 1995.01 - My Little Red Book02 - Can't Explain03 - A Message To Pretty04 - My Flash On You05 - Softly To Me06 - No Matter What You Do07 - Emotions08 - You I'll Be Following09 - Gazing10 - Hey Joe11 - Signed D.C.12 - Colored Balls Falling13 - Mushroom Clouds14 - And MoreLINK |
Gryphon were a British progressive rock band of the 1970s, best known for their unusual Medieval sound and instrumentation. Multi-instrumentalist Richard Harvey and his fellow Royal College of Music graduate Brian Gulland, a woodwind player, began the group as an all-acoustic ensemble that mixed traditional English folk music with medieval and Renaissance influences. Shortly after this, the duo was joined by guitarist Graeme Taylor and drummer/percussionist Dave Oberlé. After their self-titled debut, they expanded their sound to include electric guitars and keyboards as well as wind instruments, such as bassoons and krumhorns, not previously used in rock music. Gryphon's music often sounded as much like rural English folk or renaissance chansons as it did rock, at least on their early recordings. After their third album (Red Queen to Gryphon Three) and the subsequent tour as a supporting act for Yes, their instrumentation became more conventional and the use of non-standard instruments was reduced. Fans and critics generally regard Midnight Mushrumps and the all-instrumental Red Queen to Gryphon Three as their finest albums.01 - Opening Move.mp302 - Second Spasm.mp303 - Lament.mp304 - Checkmate.mp3LINK |
Out Here is the fifth album by Love, released in December 1969 on Blue Thumb Records in the United States, and Harvest in the United Kingdom. With the classic line-up of Love a memory, the group metamorphosized into a more experimental and free-flowing group, bearing little resemblance to its past except for the presence of leader Arthur Lee. Recording three LPs worth of material with his new group, Lee gave one to Elektra Records in order to fulfill the contract that had been in place for nearly four years. Four Sail, the result of Elektra's cherry-picking, was released in August 1969. Arranging the two remaining LPs into a double album, Lee signed a new contract with the independent Blue Thumb Records(*) and oversaw the release of the seventeen-track Out Here in December 1969, a mere matter of months after Elektra released Four Sail. Featuring Lee and company tackling funk, rock, ska and soul with ease, it proved that while Love may have been past their apex, that they were still capable of producing entertaining and thought-provoking songs. Arthur Lee - rhythm guitar, piano, organ, lead vocals, producer, Jay Donnellan - lead guitar, Frank Fayad - bass, George Suranovich - drums, Jim Hobson - organ, piano (01,13), Paul Martin - lead guitar (05), Gary Rowles - lead guitar (10) and Drachen Theaker - drums (03).01 - I'll Pray For You02 - Abalony03 - Signed D.C.04 - Listen To My Song05 - I'm Down06 - Stand Out07 - Discharged08 - Doggone09 - I Still Wonder10 - Love Is More Than Words Or Better Late Than Never11 - Nice To Be12 - Car Lights On In The Daytime Blues13 - Run To The Top14 - Willow Willow15 - Instra-Mental16 - You Are Something17 - Gather 'roundLINK |
 A progressive hard rock outfit from Newcastle, most notable for including Bob Sargeant, who later played in several other groups, including The Mick Abrahams Band and Andy Roberts' Everyone. The album is reputedly very powerful and enjoyable. It's also rare and elusive, but not as rare and sought-after as the 45 they recorded five years earlier for Columbia. At that time they were a mod band. They've reformed several times and still gig today around Tyneside, but there's been no other recorded output. Charlie Harcourt was later in Jackson Heights and Lindisfarne. Bob Sargeant later went on to production work. Charlie Harcourt - Guitar, Bob Sargeant - Keyboards, Vocals, Dave Sproat - Bass and John Woods - Drums.01 - Minotaur02 - Fly Me High03 - Change In Louise04 - Black Widow05 - Help Me06 - Natural Thoughts07 - Am I Blue08 - Reprieve09 - In The Morning10 - Death By FireLINK |
 Jeronimo was founded in 1969 in Germany and in '69/'70 they had their first two hits "He Ya" and "Na Na Hey Hey". With these two chartbreakers, Jeronimo climbed to the number 1 position in almost all European countries. In 1970 Jeronimo and "Steppenwolf" toured successfully through Germany and in the same year Jeronimo partook in the legendary "Progressive Pop Festival" in Cologne. Following that, Jeronimo shared the headlines with such groups as "Deep Purple" and "Golden Earring" at various European open-air festivals. In 1970, Jeronimo, together with Creedence Clearwater, presented the album "Spirit Orgaszmus", which was a success throughout all of Europe. After 30 years and millions of records sold worldwide, Jeronimo is still cult. In 1999/2000, their hits "Na Na Hey Hey" and "He Ya" were re-released on numerous hit-compilations. The CD's "Cosmic Blues", "Time Ride" and "Best of" have been available in record stores since 1991. Gunnar Schäfer: bass, vocals, Ringo Funk: drums, vocals, Rainer Marz: guitars, vocals and Walter Ortel: keyboards, vocals. 01 - News02 - The Key03 - Hands04 - So Nice To Know05 - Na Na Hey Hey06 - Let The Sunshine In07 - Highjack08 - Number 509 - No No No10 - Never Going Back11 - The Light Life Needs12 - HeyaLINK |
 False Start is the sixth album by Love, released in December 1970. The second and final Love album for Blue Thumb Records saw bandleader Arthur Lee heavily influenced by his friend, Jimi Hendrix, even going so far as to coax Hendrix into appearing on the opening track of the album, "The Everlasting First", one of several tracks that Hendrix recorded with Love at a March 1970 session. "Stand Out", a song from the band's previous album Out Here, was again included here in a live rendition. Replacing Jay Donnellan with Gary Rowles and adding second rhythm guitarist Nooney Rickett after the session with Hendrix brought no great change to the sound of the group. There are shades of blues, funk, country and soul all based in rock and roll. 01 - The Everlasting First02 - Flying03 - Gimi A Little Break04 - Stand Out05 - Keep On Shining06 - Anytime07 - Slick Dick08 - Love Is Coming09 - Feel Daddy Feel Good10 - Ride That VibrationLINK |

 Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy. The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale. After an off-Broadway debut in October 1967 at Joseph Papp's Public Theater and a subsequent run in a midtown discothèque space, the show opened on Broadway in April 1968 and ran for 1,750 performances. Simultaneous productions in cities across the United States and Europe followed shortly thereafter, including a successful London production, which ran for 1,997 performances.01 - Aquarius02 - Donna - Hashish03 - Sodomy04 - Colored Spade05 - Manchester England06 - I'm Black - Ain't Got No07 - Air08 - Initials09 - I Got Life10 - Hair11 - My Conviction12 - Don't Put It Down13 - Frank Mills14 - Be-In15 - Where Do I Go16 - Black Boys - White Boys17 - Easy To Be Hard18 - Walking In Space19 - Abie Baby20 - Three-Five-Zero-Zero - What A Piece Of Work Is Man21 - Good Morning Starshine22 - The Flesh Failures (Let The Sunshine In)LINK |
 Grace Slick is an American singer and songwriter, who was one of the lead singers of the rock groups The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship, and was a solo artist, for nearly three decades, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s. Slick was an important figure in the 1960s psychedelic rock genre, and is known for her witty lyrics and powerful contralto vocals. Manhole is Grace Slick's first solo album credited solely to her (she had previously recorded Sunfighter with Paul Kantner and Baron von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun with Kantner and David Freiberg, both of whom co-produced Manhole). The album was recorded in 1973, when Jefferson Airplane had stopped touring, and Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were making the Hot Tuna album, The Phosphorescent Rat. All the members who would form Jefferson Starship in 1974 performed on this album, except for Papa John Creach. The album was conceived as a soundtrack to a movie, although there was no such movie made. Grace drew all of the artwork for the album, and wrote on the cover "Child Type Odd Art by Grace." The album only reached #127 on the Billboard charts.01 - Jay02 - Theme From The Movie Manhole03 - Come Again Toucan04 - It's Only Music05 - Better Lying Down06 - Epic (#38)LINK |

Herbert "Herb" Alpert is an American musician most associated with the group variously known as Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass or TJB. He is also a recording industry executive — he is the "A" of A&M Records (a recording label he and business partner Jerry Moss founded and eventually sold). Alpert's musical accomplishments include five number one hits, twenty-eight albums on the Billboard charts, eight Grammy Awards, fourteen Platinum albums and fifteen Gold albums. As of 1996, Alpert had sold 72 million albums worldwide. Volume 2 is the second album by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, known in this recording as "Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass". It was released in 1963 on A&M Records, and sold poorly upon initial release. After the TJB became massively popular with hits from their later albums, Volume 2 was reissued in 1966 and eventually reached #17 on the Billboard album chart. A CD version of the album was issued by A&M Records in 1990 but is now out of print. Some LP copies of the album have a spoken introduction by Herb Alpert at the beginning of "The Great Manolete (La Virgen de la Macarena)".01 - The Great Manolete (La Virgen De La Macarena)02 - Spanish Harlem03 - Swinger From Seville04 - Winds Of Barcelona05 - Green Leaves Of Summer06 - More07 - America08 - Surfin' Senorita09 - Marching Thru Madrid10 - Crea Mi Amor11 - Mexican Corn12 - MilordLINK |
 Silver Apples are a psychedelic electronic music duo from New York City composed of Simeon Coxe III, who performs as Simeon, on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising (also named The Simeon), and until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. The group was active between 1967 and 1969, before reforming in the mid 1990s. They were one of the first groups to employ electronic music techniques extensively within a rock idiom, and their minimalistic style, with its pulsing, driving beat and frequently discordant modality, anticipated not only the experimental electronic music and krautrock of the 1970s, but also underground dance music and indie rock of the 1990s. Silver Apples is the debut album by the band. It was the most successful original album by the band, reaching 193 on the Billboard 200. The album was re-released in 1997 by MCA Records.01 - Oscillations02 - Seagreen Serenades03 - Lovefingers04 - Program05 - Velvet Cave06 - Whirly-Bird07 - Dust08 - Dancing Gods09 - Misty MountainLINK |
