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

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 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

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

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?

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)

^ 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!

^^^^^
Misread that as 'thought I had died....etc' and the whole sentence seemed unimaginably cosmic in its significance

I'm really enjoying this thread. Seriously.

Anyone heard this Alan White album?
http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/a/alan-white/album-ramshackled.jpg
I dl'ed "Ooh Baby" from a blog awhile ago and it fits the bill nicely

YESSSS

haha my friend dropped $130 on a copy of the original a few months ago

i made this when i was bored one day. it didnt get me a 60 day ban

Can't really put into words how much I love this tune. It captures the spirit and the essence of own trips to Hawaii and Beverly Hills/L.A. etc, during the first year of Clinton's presidency - so, the good old days, already! (I'm not from North America.. )

such a jam. was this ever a radio hit? i don't recall ever hearing it on the radio but every time i play it for people they end up singing along and i can't tell if it's a weird thing where the song is just really hooky or if it's legitimately popular and i'm just oblivious

I love Give it up for Love!! I also love Ned's first self titled record. I didn't know his records were so rare until a few years ago. I bought them cheaply back in 03 in Houston,TX at a shop called Black Dog records.

Is Doheny's the original version of that song? I think I've got about four different versions of it, none of them this one.
