Paul Revere and The Raiders- The 'Lost' AB...
The year: 1967. ‘Where The Action Is’ and Rock and Roll had raided the airwaves. The advancement of Paul Revere and The Raiders was of little surprise. They had a comical persona but made great garage records and then some superb pro Columbia efforts.

Lord Buckley- 'The Bad Rapping Of The Marq...
He was indeed ‘The Most Immaculately Hip Aristocrat’ to ever grace a human tongue. To think that these verbal offerings from the stratosphere were written and recorded in 1958 provides proof of this Cat’s amazing, literate, hipster grace. Richard Myrle Buckley: April 5, 1906 – November 12, 1960.

Steve Earle- 'Ellis Unit One' As Performed...
There is a distinguished nobility that certain artists conduct. Woody Guthrie devoted his life toward relating that which was often neglected in this Country. In my estimation, Mr. Earle is the second coming of that devout life form. Whether you agree with him or not, he simply cannot be dismissed

Steve Earle With The Delano Floyd McCoury ...
The enigmatic brilliance of Mr. Earle has passed the time test and beyond. What can possibly be said of an artist who hitch hikes to Lawrence, KS to visit William S. Burroughs after a tough tour and during a divorce? Steve details this in his prologue to a piece of musical joy, regret and insight.

Marlon Brando- An Actor Named Brando- A Sh...
Tenessee Williams and Elia Kazan’s ‘Streetcar’ is still one of the most emphatic and devout screen compositions of the last 60 years. Wonderful recollections are embraced as we witness Brando at the peak of his powers. Karl Malden assists in this compelling tribute to a man and his triumph.

The Beatles Sing For Shell Oil! Taped: We...
1964: Vietnam had yet to attain front burner status and few marches dealt with Middle East affiliations that noted a U.S propensity for High Test. Back then oil was simply the stuff that assisted acne, was required in our vehicles and kept the house warm. At least this was not ‘The Beatles For BP’.

Phil Ochs-'Here's To The State Of Richard ...
Phil David Ochs. Poet, Patriot, Father, Husband, Brother, Believer. If you know of his life and work there is little I can add to such eloquence and the inherent tragedy of his early departure. What I can say is thanks to a voice always amazingly relevant within our artistic and political tapestry.

Lenny Bruce- 'The Lie'- 25 Unedited Minute...
Critic Ralph J. Gleason cited that this Aug, ‘61 gig was ‘Lenny’s most important public performance’. It’s not difficult to hear why. He had been relegated to ‘dangerous’ status by Police and then club owners. He was just a true philosopher. As Dylan recited, ‘he was the brother you never had’. Amen
