The balearic beardo beach hippie album canon

man i must have been so stoned upthread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OY1OlKOIiU

jaxon, can you re-up the winwood track? if not here, then elsewhere...

reuploaded. for some reason my server was acting crazy yesterday

can't believe I never looked at this thread properly until now...really nice music thanks guys

loving Batteaux's "Mirror" and the Winwood track

I love that Ned Doheny song. Hard Candy and Prone are two albums worth tracking down. His self titled album is my favorite, but it's more west coast country rock than Balearic.

king of impossible to find, or so i've seen. there are also Tata Vega and Average White Band covers of that song.

nerve pylon posted the loggins messina album cover upthread, but this song is just so epic

also this one.

There's a mix from dirk of eskimo recordings on lovefingers that's all balearock/funky/folky/classic rock. Great stuff.

Think there's also another one on beats in space worth searching for.

this is the BIS mix. probably one of my all time faves. so perfectly sequenced and mixed. and with really obvious songs, but it doesn't even matter. so great.

I just found Batteaux self titled on a blog. It fits perfectly what i was needing to hear today. Is this a hard to find record?

i got mine for $6 at a record fair. haven't really seen it around otherwise. there's an 8track copy on ebay for $2.50

posting everywhere

X-post to Jacob
Picked up mine for 3 euro - think it's a reissue: there is a few on musicstack for about 10e/$

Someone up thread mentioned Jim Ford, someone I have only heard of in passing. So I sought out his records this weekend and I found one called Harlan County. I don't see how it fits into this thread at all. But it sure is good. Almost sounds like Don Covay or Swamp Dogg mixed with Billy Swan? Anyway really great album.

yea it doesn't really fit with a beachy vibe, but he sure did love yachting and cocaine!

Are his later recordings different than Harlan County? After listening to this a few times, I keep asking myself is this a subdued Don Covay?

i haven't heard everything, but the comps i have seem to indicate that he didn't really switch his style up too incredibly much. does jim ford not have his own thread?

ahh here tis- I Can't Find The Recent Thread On Recently Rediscovered Singers That Mentioned Jim Ford So I'll Start A New One For Him

that john martyn clip is killing me

i know what u mean, but lol @ the standard for 'obvious' here

I'm a lazy Sid, so I only gave a quick glance to see if these were mentioned.

Lee Hazlewood sorta owns this, though the time period might be a bit off.
John Phillips
Lyme & Cybele [I believe Warren Zevon was Lyme]
Buffy St. Marie
Richie Havens
Fit & Limo

...maybe - if I truly grasped the question. ;-)

Is there still any interest in this genre?

Might this be the ultimate BBBH jam?

Stay for the whole thing, the vocal/guitar effects are worth it.

Also way into live versions of John Martyn doing "Outside In,' which Lovefingers used in the "1984" track last year. I want to hear more if people have picks.

im still interested

ill selection, btw

kinda over nu-balearic (never really got under it tbh), edits and dance music in general, but BBBH is one of those things i just won't tire of.

hippie

tripster

beardo

(xpost ^ i'm a tripster)

harper's 'stormcock' (from where that song comes from) is one of the most amazing records ever.

hats off to that man imo

I was worried that people had moved on to windsurf funk or christian campfire rock.

Admittedly haven't explored Harper that deeply, but will now. Thanks for the tip, Jaxon.

you posted it!

rocked this one this morn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKy2qe5iIpQ

and this one (both from the Folk is not a Four Letter Word comp)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isyYxHjRm7w

Oh, ya duh - I just got turned onto to the harper track from some dude's FB page, so I didn't really feel it was "mine." That Heaven & Earth track is nice, can't really get into Koloc's vocals tho.

Has Peter Green been mentioned?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeosPciyU8o
Totally loving vocal fx on these lazzy jams.

Someone mentioned Green up there somewhere, but still...

one more john martyn just bc seeing that clip upthread was a major revelation for me and i've pretty much watched every live perf. by him on youtube since. this is one of the best ones (all the best ones are from one world imo, can't believe i wasted the first 22 years of my life not listening to it every day)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btRv4MnPOBE

^ he wrote that one w/lee perry

yeah i spent a while tryna find other stuff that lee perry did w/ a similar fusion aesthetic but didn't know where to look. Also got no joy on finding another martyn album that had the same spaced out w33d+heatstroke vibe.

Dirk (Eskimo Recordings) : Summer Of Love '69

Plaxico: I had the same revelatory experience with the Martyn toob. I had Solid Air a little while ago but didn't get too blown away by it, but I'm loving the stuff from One World. Have you explored the live/bootlegs from the 70s/80s at all? I recently grabbed Live at Leeds, Live in Milan (bad sound on this one), and One Other World. I think One Other World is my fave. Be interested to know if anyone else has listened to/found other live stuff that is great.

tbh, i had dled one other world by mistake and only realised it wasn't one world when i got went looking for a higher bitrate!
