can we give some love to the ladies of the 60's/70's that aren't receiving any hipster kisses?

i think i gave my dad all my latter-day tracy nelson records. i still have a couple mother earth records though.

i like gale garnett a ton. i like the early folk/pop stuff as much as her later more 60's/rock-oriented records. she has a bunch of records that i still need to get.

I have a Scopitone of Garnett doing "Small Potatoes." Didn't know she was so earthbound earlier on.

I'll disagree with Scott here and recommend Bonnie Raitt and Give It Up. Also, Scott, there was a Dory Previn feature in last month's Uncut.

There was also a brief interview w/Dory in a recent Mojo (the one w/Radiohead on the cover)

dorymania in full effect!

I have a couple of really very good Anne Murray LPs. I'm fairly sure she doesn't get hipster love, and it may be that she gets no love at all.

If I love the first Roches LP, will I love the other Roches LPs?

Joan Armatrading getting any love? she's up there with Bonnie in my book.
i believe if you like the Roches debut you ought to at least love A Dove, which i own and like lots

the first, like, three roches albums are great.

me and john d and some others were giving joan some love not that long ago. she had so many great songs. and she's way unhip! "show some emotion" alone, man. what a great song.

i dig anne murray. but then i'm pretty goth.

and when i say the first 3 roches albums i'm including *seductive reasoning* which was just maggie and terre as a duo.

actually, come to think of it, that would be four great albums. *seductive reasoning*, *roches*, *nurds*, and *keep on doing*.

even the later albums had some choice songs though. "face down at folk city", "big nuthin", etc.

i have the first linda hargrove album *music is your mistress* but i never cared for it much. maybe i didn't give it enough of a chance. i'll play it again.

anybody familiar with the late 1960's Berkeley group Joy of Cooking that was led by two women, Toni Brown and Terry Garthwaite? their debut still holds up for me. Great tunes, and they rock but in a sort of relaxing way on account of piano being the lead instrument

linda found god by the way:

I mentioned Joy of Cooking upthread......
Castles is a great record

toni brown still makes jam band records. as befits the former editor and publisher of relix magazine. i am not a huge joy of cooking fan, but they definitely had their moments.

I dig most of Tracy Nelson's early LPs, but I REALLY dig this one, which is more country than blues.

That clip is nutso even by Scopitone standards. I can't believe I've never seen it before. And check out the crotch on Lucy Fur.

Not sure if this fits the thread but my fave Scopitone starlet is Joi Lansing.

Sally Eaton, I give you hipster kisses.
"Once Before You Go" is such a jam.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-C7jZfAQ34 (such a vocal range... dig on the peruvian scenesters)

forgot about someone both scott and i like. penny nichols. "penny's arcade". one song is a serious folk funk number and another is way tripped out and psychedelic.

and bonnie dobson has some serious funk. although she's being courted by andy votel

I like the traditional Bonnie Dobson LPs but haven't heard the funky ones. Are they hard to find?

i paid like $20-25 for the one on the right at soundlibrary ny. some other guy at the store was buying the one on the left and was upset i had the one i had.

How about Kathy Dalton (no relation to Karen, as far as I know). She had one LP on Zappa's Discreet label that was re-released a year later with a track change. Little Feat backed her up, with Van Dyke Parks and Carl Wilson guesting. They used to play the song "Cannibal Forest" on my local FM station when I was in high school, and despite not hearing it for over 30 years I can still recall the tune.

Anyone familiar with her, and is the rest of the LP as good as CF?

that was easy http://illfolks.blogspot.com/2007/11/kathy-dalton-brenda-patterson-1974.html

Thanks jaxon, I googled but didn't find that. Now I don't have to pay $25 for the LP on ebay.

i picked up a 7" a while back by Heaven & Earth. this is the A side. spaced out femme folk. the B side is a funky number that was on the first Folk is not a Four Letter Word

think another track from the LP Refuge was on the Bearded Ladies comp. i'd love to hear the LP, but it's kinda hard to google for.

here's the cover. good looking girls

what about Mary McCaslin's Way Out West? Saw an LP copy recently for $5...?

Love that McCaslin record. But tell more about Kay Huntington!!!

I will, I promise, later tonight. this is one of my favorite threads of all time. I will also talk about this Kathy Smith reissue I got.

I finally broke down and bought Kay Huntington: What's Happening To Our World? for two bucks (Edd beat me) from a site that had it available for years. And, um, like wow, man! This album has bent my mind back and forth between pleasure/revulsion, joke?/serious?, masterpiece/worst record of all-time, A+/E-, etc. The Mr and I have laughed out loud many, many times (although I think I'm past the "this has GOT to be a joke" stage). First side's got the howlers many of which are packed into the first (and title) song. "Why is there so much SUFfering" a child (presumably) asks daddy and mommy, the SUF signifying a pleading octave leap. Also check out the doomy guitar fill once Little Kay learns that men use guns to kill one another. She pulls weeds and raises corn in "The Right to Poverty" and fires off this couplet in "Git To Git To Heaven": "So go right ahead and blow the whole world up/We'll just git to git to heaven right away."

But the second side's merely bad (although I haven't listened to it as closely). And she's certainly easier to take than Joanna Newsom which means the psych-folk set will probably find her too modest. Nevertheless, if you like your critical faculties all discombobulated, get thee to Ebay now!

I saw a quad copy of that Heaven & Earth lp in a shop recently for 60 bux.

In other news, I found a copy of what I guess is the self-titled debut of "The Joy" (aka what Toni Brown & Terry Grathwaite did after The Joy of Cooking broke up) for a buck and a half. I haven't listened to it yet. It came out on Fantasy. Elvin Bishop & Taj Mahal guest.

what about Mary McCaslin's Way Out West? Saw an LP copy recently for $5...?

Just picked up a record she did with Jim RInger called the Briar and the Rose from '78 - fine stuff

"Bramble" even

robertchristgau.com has some pretty reliable stuff about several artists on this thread, like Joy Of Cooking/The Joy/solo Garthwaite/Brown ( I did think Garthwaite could get a little cloying with the Billie Holiday tendencies, but she had her own context, esp. on the first solo album, where it really worked on the reggae version of "You Send Me, reggae "Slender Thread" etc) Bonnie Raitt's Give It Up is still one of my faves from the 70s, and finally got re-mastered, ditto Takin' My Time, which is almost as good. Give It Up was the perfect balance of youthful mood swings, and New Orleans convergences of genres and subgenres and OMG both albums even showed me that Jackson Browne did write some good songs after all (his voice gets boring pretty quickly). Maria Muldaur's early stuff like "Chevrolet" still sounds tight in context of Jim Kweskin & The Jug Band feauting Maria Muldaur's Acoustic Swing & Jug (Vanguard), and the oh-so-flirty-Gertieness of that collection's "Richland Woman" seen and raised by her much later Richland Woman Blues, songs of Memphis & MS blues, earthy & suave & poignant. Heart Of Mine: The Love Songs of Bob Dylan has a few too many "normal" songs, some of Capn D.'s "Don't be like that in Divorce Court baby" moves, but done well and she resurects "Golden Loom" and "Wedding Song" (gotta find that old tape where Marianne Faithful does "Visions Of Johanna"--hey where is the love for Marianne on this thread?) McCaslin/McKee/Cyndi Boste/I'm Not Sally discussed in "Alias In Wonderland"--still no doubt on Voice archive,probably/ possibly still at this address
http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0129,tracker_writer.inc/24,323,.html

And if that doesn't work it's at http://MyVil.blogspot.com
Use Control + F on "Alias" in Dec. 2005 archive and you got it.

Also: Kath Bloom is new to me, but she started recording in the 70s with Loren MazzaCane Connors, and check the link to older and new tracks on her MySpace page here--this new PTW-posted title track is not her best performance, the other one described is more typical, but it's all well worth checking out:
http://www.paperthinwalls.com/singlefile/item?id=1668

The Kath Bloom/Loren Connors 1981-1984 CD that I have is a-fucking-mazing. Dunno anything else she has done, but that one thing is an absolute treasure of simple cracked and beautiful otherness.
