RICHIE HAVENS - MIXED BAG

Richie Havens - two albums from 60's
Mixed Bag is a 1967 album by Richie Havens. Although sometimes described as his debut, this was actually Havens's third record. It followed two earlier, lesser-known releases on Douglas Records. This was Havens's first record after signing on with manager, Albert Grossman which lead to this recording on a new folk music section of Verve Records. Mixed Bag is frequently cited as the singer's best work and was his first album to appear on Billboard's charts (appearing on both the jazz and pop charts). The recording was the first to introduce a wider audience to Havens's rich baritone vocals and the full-sound of Havens's distinct guitar style (thumb-chorded and played in open D tuning).

"High Flyin' Bird" (Billy Edd Wheeler) – 3:35
"I Can't Make It Anymore" (Gordon Lightfoot) – 2:48
"Morning, Morning" (Tuli Kupferberg) – 2:17
"Adam" (Havens) – 3:34
"Follow" (Jerry Merrick) – 6:22
"Three Day Eternity" (Havens) – 2:15
"Sandy" (Jean Pierre Cousineau) – 3:12
"Handsome Johnny" (Lou Gossett, Havens) – 3:53
"San Francisco Bay Blues" (Jesse Fuller) – 2:30
"Just Like a Woman" (Bob Dylan) – 4:46
"Eleanor Rigby" (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) – 2:42

RICHIE HAVENS - Richard P. Havens, 1983

Richard P. Havens, 1983 is a 1969 double album set by folk rock musician Richie Havens featuring a combination of studio recordings and live material recorded in concert in July, 1968. The album combined original material with several of the covers for which Havens is known. Notable songs include "Handsome Johnny" and the singles "Stop Pushing and Pulling Me" and "Indian Rope Man", the latter of which has been multiply covered under its own name and in retooled identity as "African Herbsman." The genre-bending album was critically and commercially well-received, reaching #80 on the Billboard "Pop Albums" chart. Initially released on the Verve label, it has been reissued multiple times in various formats, including by Verve subsidiary Verve Forecast Records, PolyGram and Australian label Raven Records. It has also been compiled with albums Mixed Bag and Something Else Again in multi-cd set Flyin' Bird: The Verve Forecast Years on the Hip-O Select label.

Except where otherwise noted, all tracks composed by Richie Havens.

"Stop Pulling and Pushing Me" – 1:48
"For Haven's Sake" – 7:01

JIMMIE VAUGHAN - PLAYS MORE BLUES, BALLADS & FAVORITES

Jimmie Vaughan waited nine years before releasing last year’s Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites, but it took only 12 more months to come back with a follow-up. The older brother and mentor to the late and enormously popular blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan has played a major role for decades in carrying on blues traditions himself. The second volume of cover versions from the Texan guitarist proves as entertaining as last year's collection of vintage R&B and early rock'n'roll. Founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds (and big brother to the late Stevie Ray), Vaughan yokes his stinging, minimalist guitar to a driving band laden with growling saxes. Standards such as Amos Milburn's "Bad Bad Whiskey" mix with unusual takes of Hank Williams and Ray Charles numbers as Vaughan switches between up-tempo rockers and down-hearted blues and his vocal sidekick, Lou Ann Barton, adds sass. An old master at play.

JIMMIE VAUGHAN - PLAYS BLUES, BALLADS & FAVORITES

The blues-rock master's first album in nine years! Blues, Ballads and Favorites is blues-rock pioneer Jimmie Vaughan's tribute to the music that inspired him, with covers of songs by Little Richard, Jimmy Reed, Roy Milton, Roscoe Gordon and others. The album was recorded in Austin, Texas, and features legendary blues singer Lou Ann Barton on two tracks. Other highlights include a brand-new instrumental, "Comin' & Goin'," and a version of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" featuring vocals by Bill Willis, the famed Hammond organ player who recorded with James Brown and Bill Doggett. Vaughan founded the iconic Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974, and they became famous for the high-octane blues-rock sound that earned them critical acclaim in the '70s and platinum-selling albums in the '80s. In 1990, Vaughan recorded a duets album, Family Style, with his brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan, shortly before the latter's untimely death, and then went on to a successful solo career. - amazon.com

FRANK MARINO - DRAGONFLY - THE BEST OF...

Mahogany Rush

Mahogany Rush is a Canadian rock band led by guitarist Frank Marino. The band had its peak of popularity in the 1970s, playing such venues as California Jam II together with bands such as Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Heart.

Members have included bassist Paul Harwood, drummer Jimmy Ayoub, and guitarist Vince Marino (Frank's brother); the band has continued with other members, always under Frank Marino's leadership. After 1980, the group toured as Frank Marino's Mahogany Rush, and after Jim Ayoub left the group, it simply became Frank Marino. After a long absence, the band toured the United States in October 2006.

NEAL SCHON / I ON U

Neal Schon - I on U [2005]

One must give credit where it is due to Steve Vai and his imprint, Favored Nations. Like CMC International is to hair metal, Vai has assembled some of the most revered guitar shredders of the '80s and '90s and given them a safe home to roam freely and express their creative visions, without having the normal pressures of record labels hanging over their heads. The latest to join the family is Journey axe-slinger Neal Schon, who returns to the solo light after being away for several years.

COMMANDER CODY AND HIS LOST PLANET AIRMEN - The Early Years 1967-1970 [Original recording remastered]

Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen - The Early Years 1967-1970 [Original recording remastered]

This two-disc set collects a treasure trove of rare, live, and unreleased tracks from country-rock outfit Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Recorded during the group's early days in Ann Arbor, Michigan, prior to the release of their 1971 debut, LOST IN THE OZONE, the 35 tracks here are loose and amiable, and recall the Grateful Dead at their most carefree, sans the heady Haight-Ashbury vibe. While the recording quality can be a little suspect at times, the band's loveably gritty takes on country, honk-tonk, bluegrass, and Texas swing should appeal to anyone interested in true-blue '60s country rock.

Commander Cody (vocals, piano);
Steve Davis ("The West Virginia Creeper") (steel guitar, pedal steel guitar, background vocals);
"Buffalo" Bruce Barlow (bass guitar, background vocals);
John Farlow (bass guitar); John Copely (percussion);
Bill Kirchen (vocals, guitar, background vocals);
Billy C. Farlow (vocals, acoustic guitar, background vocals);
John Tichy (vocals, background vocals);
Andy Stein (fiddle, saxophone, background vocals);
Lance Dickerson (drums).

A great concert from the last few days of the 10th anniversary “In The Round” tour. (As
Jon comments before the long medley, the band had been together 11 years by the time of
this show.)

And this is one of the best audience recordings of this tour! Highs are crisp and clear, the
bass forceful. There are a few spots of distortion – it was a loud concert - but fortunately
for us they don’t last long and aren’t too bad.

I remastered and circulated this recording in 2002 with the title “Red Stick.” This is a
new remaster, done from scratch in June 2009. I went back to the original audio CD’s
rather than building on the work I’d done in the past. Changes and improvements to the
original CD’s include pitch correction, fixing abrupt volume changes, EQ, and editing to
fill a small piece of “All Good People” and a few other miscellaneous shortcomings.

When I attended this show, little did I know that I would not see the “classic” Yes line-up
again for 23 years.

Enjoy it like it’s 1979.
