    John Stewart - Lonesome Picker Rides Again
    (1971, Warner Bros) Artisan symbol in the deadwax



    great early 70s folk rock, includes Stewart's Daydream Believer which sounds a lot better to me than the overblown cover by The Monkees.
    w/ West Coast session heavies Buddy Emmons (pedal steel guitar), Chris Darrow (violin/dobro), Russ Kunkel (drums), Leland Sklar (bass), plus Peter Asher (vocals), Kate Taylor (vocals) and Stewart's wife, Buffy Ford (vocals), even Henry Diltz - the rock photographer plays here (harmonica/vocals)

    bike tour de Gresham 2day , ODO=318 miles .... whoo-hoo, finally broke 300

    .
    .
    only picked up these 2, but they are NM cond , the RC is great and will definately get more than 1 play....super production values

    normally I dont care for horns,,,but the ones on Genius + Soul = Jazz are very nice..

    Living Blues

    Quincy Jones supplied the Latin-tempo arrangement for [Charles].... Two brilliant big band blues ... are the epitome of hip.

    Product Description

    Charles' only all-instrumental LPs on one CD! 1961's Genius + Soul = Jazz is a big band jazz workout featuring the Count Basie Band and arrangements from Quincy Jones. It includes the Top 10 hit "One Mint Julep."

    http://www.warr.org/charles.html#G+S=J

    Genius + Soul = Jazz (1961)
    An unvarnished big band jazz album. Like Genius Of, Jones did the arrangements, but the results are far grittier and swing a lot harder: Ray's distinctive organ playing is prominent (the Top Ten hit "One Mint Julep"), the horns are blowing like crazy ("Birth Of The Blues"), and though most of the tracks are instrumental, Charles' stamp is unmistakable throughout, and his vocal features just stand out further by contrast ("I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town"). Three tunes are Charles originals, including the opening "From The Heart." (DBW)

    http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...0:h84gtq8ztu48

    One of the best early-'60s examples of soul/jazz crossover, this record, like several of his dates from the period, featured big-band arrangements (played by the Count Basie band). This fared better than some of Charles' similar outings, however, if only because it muted some of his straight pop aspirations in favor of some pretty mean and lean, cut-to-the-heart-of-the-matter B-3 Hammond organ licks. Most of the album is instrumental and swings pretty vivaciously, although Charles does take a couple of vocals with "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town" and "I've Got News for You." Yet one of those instrumentals, a cover of the Clovers' "One Mint Julep," would give Charles one of his most unpredictable (and best) early-'60s hits.

    LATER :went thru Genius + Soul = Jazz 3x... really like it, its one of the better finds in the last month or two...

    Stoneground - self titled
    (1971, Warner Bros)




    debut album from this 10 person blues rock band with Sal Valentino, from the Beau Brummels. also Pete Sears, later with Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna.
    from wikipedia...
    Stoneground was a "traveling house band" for Medicine Ball Caravan, an attempt by Warner Bros. to promote the band and capitalize on the success of the concert film genre following Woodstock.The Medicine Ball Caravan film, which documented the 8,000 mile cross-country trip by 154 people in a "hippie caravan" of buses, trucks and musical groups, was directed by François Reichenbach—with Martin Scorsese as associate producer—and released in 1971.

    Stephen Stills / Manassas - Down The Road
    (1973, Atlantic)



    Second album released just before Manassas broke up and just before CSNY reunited in 1974, I saw CSNY's first show of that tour in Seattle in '74. w/ Joe Walsh and Bobby Whitlock joining in. Great Latin flavored blues jams here.

    Checking out my copy, which looks VG+ and sounds excellent so far, because I saw a NM copy for 50cents. I should probably grab it to replace the worn cover.
