Aerosmith - Bright Light Fright (1977)
The Chain Reaction - You Should Have Been Here Yesterday (1968)
Chain Reaction -The Sun (1966) They changed the name of the band on the label.
Chain Reaction - When I Needed You (1966)
Ferrante and Teicher - American Pie (1972) Just hand me my highball. Listen to that bass player go. This reminds me of WJYE, The Music of Your Life, and our next door neighbors, Eddie and Elsie, sitting in their Adirondack chairs on a summer afternoon, drinking highball after highball.
Ferrante and Teicher - Rock-A-Bye Baby (1969)
Greg Kihn Band - Beside Myself (1979) Another hard-working rocker that found success (finally) in the era of music videos. Here are some tracks from his hard-working, days, touring skating rinks and opening for REO Speedwagon during the non-Cronin days., I imagine anyhow.
Greg Kihn Band - Don't Expect To Be Right (1976)
Greg Kihn Band - Island (1977)
Greg Kihn Band - Remember (1978)
Jonathan King - Lazybones (1971)
Jonathan King - Hooked On A Feeling (1971)
Jonathan King - Let It All Hang Out (1969) The original was recorded by The Hombres. And the b-side of that strange hit was...
The Hombres - Go Girl, Go (1967)
The Hombres - It's A Gas (1967) And the b-side of THIS was...
The Hombres - Am I High (1967)
The Hombres - Take My Overwhelming Love (And Cram It Up Your Heart) (1968)
Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band - Lifestream (1974)
Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band- Gypsy Pilot (1971)
Rick Nelson - Don't Blame It On Your Wife (1967) From the album "Another Side of Rick".
Bill Haley and His Comets - Travellin' Band (1971) Dig that backwards guitar!!
Some strange, wonderful, Kim Fowley productions:
Gene Vincent - Be-Bop-A-Lula '69 (1969) Rerecording in a more beat fashion, for some strange reason.
Macia Strassman - Self-Analysis (1968)
Soft Machine - Reelin', Feelin', Squealin' (1969)
Marsha Hunt - Oh No! Not the Beast Day (1973)
Keith Relf - Mr. Zero (1966)
Spirit - Potatoland Theme (1972-3) Not released until 1981.
Redbone - Checkin' It Out (1977)
Roxy Music - Manifesto (1979)
Scott Walker - Patriot (A Single) (1995) From Tilt. John Giblin is the bass player. He was also in those popular Simple Minds vids they used to play on the MTV. Since no one listens to my show, I feel like sometimes the format I have made for myself is as meaningless and obscure as the trivial prattle I offer up. So here is advice to go buy this album.
