How's that American Flyer LP, anyone?

I don't know if this is the thread where I expressed by lack of enthusiasm for I Wish I Could Remember My Name, but I've come around a bit. I listened to it on a car trip recently, and it was a great, not-too-mellow antidote to driving boredom.

'Garcia' - Jerry Garcia

i really couldn't hang with the american flyer deal (there's a 2fer cd, right?) i returned it, waaaaaaaaaaay to MOR, and not in the good way (i really disliked the voices of the guys who aren't doug yule)

Fair enough. I thought the line up looked kinda interesting, but because of Yule mostly...

I just printed out this thread and added it to my binders full of suggested discogs of genres/styles I'll get to later in life. Thanks guys.

It was a couple Dave Mason records I was surprised I liked that got me to reopen this thread in the first place, by the way. Does he fit in here?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 7 July 2007 01:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Haven't heard his solo albums, but his work with Traffic fits a couple of streams of association with others mentioned on this thread. All that about Cowboy, and even Grinderswitch, because when I saw them on the same bill (Wha? That's the mid-70s for you), people were saying, "H'mm. Those boys sound lak Traffic." That's what they were saying about Cowboy; about Grinderswitch, they were saying, "YEEEEEEHAAAA!" (Soon after,Cowboy's Tommy Talton toured with Johnny Sandlin and Bill Stewart, mentioned in that bio Scott pasted upthread, and they did a week at a club not far from where I live. With local keyboardist Jabbo Stokes, they sounded like Jeff Beck with Stevie Wonder's band, though Jabbo wisely didn't try to sing like Stevie. I posted about this [and the recent all-star benefit for Scott Boyer, who also still has a band, the Decoys, in North Alabama] on Rolling Country, so will shut up about it now). The other stream of association is that Dave Mason also did an album with Cass Elliot, Alone Together, one of the best/most pertinent titles ever, ever, and Cass is also one mighty baby on the finally reissued proto-folk-rock Mugwumps album (Collector's Choice, but doesn't sound like poop this time, Scott!) This is true folk times rock, despite and yet somehow in part because of Cass's Tin Pan Alley fixations (she wanted to be Streisand? Anyway, she's taught herself to belt in tune, without overdoing that, like Ronstadt can)(But where are the *Stone Poneys* on this thread? "You and meee, we're marching to the beat of a *different* drum.") Southern children of this thread: Tift Merritt's Bramble Rose (re Ronstadt-Raitt-Larsen and the writers they covered), and some of her former backup musos are most of Chatham County Line, a great song band, if you don't mind a little bluegrass. They know their Zevon (and his collaborators), and thier Hunter/Garcia, their Randy Newman. Ditto Jason Isbell, finally out of the Truckers, but with them playing his way on his album, Sirens Of The Ditch (out Tues., and my review will be in Voice d'rectly). Currently listening to Johnny Irion's Ex Tempore, also featuring Tift and members of CCL, but more like the kind of orchestrated granola, not Thos. Jefferson Kaye (upthread), so much as the sort thing he exploited (produced for others and took sly piss out of on his own)
