KAY HUNTINGTON: What’s Happening To Our World? (United Artists) This is either a hilarious takeoff on sensitive circa-1964 folk music or (more likely, unbelievable as it seems) one of the most atrocious records ever made.

I've never seen another copy of that awful Huntington record--which I regaled my "hipster" friends with recently, we all needed a drink after that experience. I also made them listen to Carly Simon's Hotcakes just 'cause I think she looked kinda cute pregnant. But the Huntington record is competently done, is the frightening thing about it.
Muldaur I like in small doses, Rita Coolidge was a striking woman but her music I never much liked. I'm sure Karen Dalton has gotten enough kipster -on-toast to disqualify her.

That's crazy talk! Admittedly, I don't know anything of Muldaur's catalog other than "Midnight at the Oasis", but that is a great song! She sounds like she wants to slip Rudi Valentino's camel a quaalude and get down to snorting lines and being mischeivous with the sheik.

KATH BLOOM & LOREN CONNORS ULTRA RARE SAND IN MY SHOE & MOONLIGHT ALBUMS FINALLY TO BE RE-ISSUED BY CHAPTER MUSICOUT OCTOBER 4TH, 2019
https://gallery.mailchimp.com/a088e1e7fb68010cf6ad8ff4a/_compresseds/197dfa45-9150-4f07-afab-d1f60ef5a847.jp

The extraordinary creative partnership of New Haven, CT duo Kath Bloom and Loren Connors has haunted psych-folk fans since the early 80s. Kath taught herself guitar during shifts as a janitor at a New Haven cemetery, while Loren’s free-form idiosyncratic style had been developing since the late 60s. Between 1981 and 1984, the duo recorded two live and four studio albums, mostly self-released in tiny quantities.
Early on, their music mixed folk and blues traditionals with a handful of Kath’s vulnerable, moving originals. By the later albums the songs were all Kath’s - her fragile voice and subdued finger-picking set against Loren’s abstract but always supportive playing. Together the duo created a sound almost impossibly emotional and haunting.
Kath & Loren’s first two albums in 1981-82 were live recordings, released via Loren’s Daggett Records label. Next came 1982’s Sing The Children Over on Massachusetts label Ambiguous Records. Then Sand In My Shoe emerged in 1983 as the first release on Loren’s new St. Joan label, in an edition of 200-300 copies with handmade sleeves.
Restless Faithful Desperate and Moonlight followed in 1983-84, before the prodigious duo parted ways. Moonlight was released in an edition of 200-300 copies. As her creativity accelerated, Kath’s songs became looser and more intuitive, but Moonlight contains an early version of one of Kath’s most beloved songs, "Come Here". Loren’s longterm collaborator Robert Crotty contributes electric guitar to a couple of tracks.
By 1984, Kath was married with a young son, and Connors was entering a new relationship, so the duo found themselves drifting apart. Kath did not release anything again until a 1993 solo cassette Love Explosion, but then developed a devoted cult following through the pivotal use of a new recording of "Come Here" in Richard Linklater’s 1995 film Before Sunrise.
Kath has since released three solo albums on Chapter Music (Finally in 2005, Terror in 2008 and Pass Through Here in 2015), as well as the Bloom tribute album Loving Takes This Course, featuring covers by the likes of Bill Callahan, Mark Kozelek, Devendra Banhart, Josephine Foster and many more.
Loren also retreated from music for a period until re-emerging in the late 1980s. He is now recognised as a pioneering guitar explorer, and has worked with the likes of Thurston Moore, Keiji Haino, Jim O’Rourke and many more.
After reissuing four of Kath & Loren’s landmark albums on CD in the late 2000s, Chapter has now embarked on the first ever vinyl reissues for these remarkable records. Another 1984 album Restless Faithful Desperate was reissued in 2018, while 1983’s Sand In My Shoe & 1984's Moonlight will be released on October 4, 2019.
Sand In My Shoe includes five digital-only bonus tracks, from 1982 live EP Pushin’ Up Daisies, as well as comprehensive digital liner notes.Moonlight includes five digital-only bonus tracks of rare 1984 live recordings, as well as comprehensive digital liner notes.

In 1967, the folk-pop group The Association had a massive hit with a song called “Windy” penned by an unknown young woman named Ruthann Friedman. Two years later, she released her own album Constant Companion on Warner/Reprise Records that sounded nothing like “Windy” – it had more in common with her labelmate Joni Mitchell or cult-hero Linda Perhacs. Decades later, Ruthann would be declared an “astral folk goddess” and championed by the likes of Devendra Banhart.
Around that time, reissue producer Pat Thomas compiled a collection of previously unreleased demos, home recordings, and lost songs circa 1965-1971 from Ruthann's personal archive including the original version of "Windy."
Titled Hurried Life, Ruthann recently declared, “That’s the one that I really like - that was the first time going back into the archives to find songs that might be reissued. I think those were representative of me.”creditsreleased September 3, 2021Stream, order LP (or digital) here:https://tompkinssquare.bandcamp.com/album/hurried-life-lost-recordings-1965-1971

Is this good??
from Numero:CATHERINE HOWE - WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE (50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)This recorded autobiography of Catherine Howe, age 20, briefly appeared in 1971. Too young for memoirs, most artists have barely established any sort of musical competence by the age of legal adulthood, let alone compositions matching the maturity and complexity of Howe’s. What A Beautiful Place, however, is a prodigious effort wrought from the melancholy ruminations of post-adolescence. The album’s twelve songs unfold like a classic bildungsroman, beginning in the smoke-stained industrial county of Yorkshire, transformed by the electrified creative landscape of mid-century London, and retiring to the warm pastoral bliss of the county of Dorset on England’s southern coast. Produced by noted jazz pianist Bobby Scott, the LP—oft-mistaken for a concept album—was available for only a month in the summer of 1971, disappearing after Reflection Records’ shuttering in 1971.More details, backstory etc.https://numerogroup.com/products/catherine-howe-a-place-of-beauty?mc_cid=50a30a300a&mc_eid=348950ba0d

@karenbrooks12921 month ago (edited)I was able to get the studio to transfer the original tapes and am re-releasing this as a vinyl record with a "B" side of unreleased material.
