Northwest Battle of the Bands! Volume Four
Big Beat keeps the fury going in this ever incredible compilation series of 1960s garage rock. Volumes 1 through 3 have been exercises in obscurities, classics, and unreleased gems, and Volume 4 keeps up the goodness on all fronts. It's a no-brainer, if you like the other 3 volumes in this series, dig The Sonics, Don & the Goodtimes, and the Pacific Northwest 1960s garage rock sound, you should check out the latest volume of The Northwest Battle of the Bands.
It's really no surprise to listen and learn how great this compilation is, because Jerden Records was the place to be in the Pacific Northwest in the 60s. Even though none of this stuff gave the label the hit it so sorely needed, this is the stuff of garage rock collector's dreams.

O.V. WRIGHT - A Nickel And A Nail And The Ace Of Spaces '71 @320
he golden era of Southern soul was essentially over by 1971, but thankfully no one told O.V. Wright about this; this album, which as the title suggests featured two of his biggest hits, showed that his gifts as a vocalist were near the peak of their strength, and this is Memphis-style R&B in the grand tradition. Willie Mitchell produced these sessions at his Royal Recording Studio in Memphis, with the Hi Records Rhythm Section and the Memphis Horns providing the backing, and their performances lend the music a smooth, glorious burn like fine brandy, and are not unlike the work they did with Al Green, but reveal a darker and bluesier tone. Great as the band is, Wright headlines this show, and when he sings he dominates these sessions with grace and authority; the longing and hurt in his voice are a wonder to behold, and the burnished gospel influences in his voice meld the secular and the sacred with a powerful common belief, particularly on "He Made Woman for Man." The lovers' ache of "Don't Take It Away" and "When You Took Your Love from Me," and the blues-shot laments of "A Nickel and a Nail" and "Afflicted" are as powerful as Southern soul got in the early '70s. Wright was a master of this form, and while he would lose his life only nine years after this album was released, A Nickel and a Nail and Ace of Spades sounds like the work of an artist as powerful and vital as you could ask for. Brilliant music, (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

O.V. WRIGHT - The Bottom Line (1978, Reissue 2014) @320
econd in a series of three Hi studio albums, O.V. Wright was finally allowed to record for Willie Mitchell's own label, since his former employer, Don Robey, had sold Backbeat to ABC in 1973. As was the case with Al Green, Mitchell had developed a longtime friendship with Wright, overseeing most of his Backbeat single sides and albums. Come the end of the '70s the famous Hi sound started to lose a little of its tightness, but this is fairly overcome by Wright's exceptional vocal qualities. The Bottom Line wasn't crafted with the same session men as it's predecessor. Mostly made up of ballads, the single "I Don't Do Windows" stands apart as the only up-tempo exception. Bobby Womack's "That's the Way I Feel About Cha" gets a nice Southern soul makeover. A "late night jazz bar everybody gone home contemplative" "I Don't Know Why" is similar to a lesser known Stevie Wonder track, coincidentally of the same name. The shimmering "A Little More Time" deserves special mention: starting out as a roll call of soul singers who had died way before their time, it's a tribute of prophetic proportions. Soon enough Wright would join their league. Many compilations of his Hi output were released throughout the second half of the '90s. Both Hi Masters and That's How Strong My Love Is collect almost everything of this album and its predecessor, Into Something (Can't Shake Loose). The Complete O.V. Wright on Hi Records, Vol. 1: In the Studio also includes the third and last of the Hi studio albums, We're Still Together. (Allmusic)

DALE WATSON - Call Me Insane '15 @320
There may not be as man honky tonks as there used to be. Frankly, there probably isn't as much honky-tonk music as there used to be - like when Buck Owens sang about closing up the honky tonks. That being said, if you had to name a modern king of honky-tonk music, it would probably be Dale Watson. His new album Call Me Insane is another great example of why he is the king.
One thing is for sure, and you don't have to listen to the new album for very long to realize it: Dale Watson can sing. Whether he's singing one of his signature honky-tonk songs, a haunting tune like "Burden of the Cross", or a sad ballad like "Crocodile Tears", his vocals will make you feel something. They might also make you wish that you had even a fraction of his talent as a singer. This album is a good blend of uptempo songs to get you dancing and sad ballads. It is pure country, which is not surprising considering how outspoken Watson has been on the subject of modern country music. If you're a fan of country music at all, this is an album you should own. Call Me Insane was released on June 9 by Red House Records, and is available everywhere now.
The keeper of the true country music flame, Dale Watson's Call Me Insane is his 3rd Red House album and shows Austin's king of honky tonk delivering another album of new material that continues to carry the tradition of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson.
Produced by Lloyd Maines (Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker) Call Me Insane is what country music should sound like with instant classics from start to finish like "Jonesin' for Jones," "Bug Ya for Love" and "Mamas Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies." The record features His Lonestars as well as piano and The Honky Tonk Horns.

CHAMPION JACK DUPREE - Back Home In New Orleans '90 @320
By far the best of Dupree's three albums for Bullseye Blues, this collection was cut during the pianist's first trip home to the Crescent City in 36 long years. With his longtime accompanist Kenn Lending on guitar, Dupree sounds happy to be back in his old stomping grounds throughout the atmospheric set. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

JIM KWESKIN & THE JUG BAND - Jug Band Music '65 @320
At the peak of the American folk revival, Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band reintroduced an essential component into folk music: fun. While thousands attended the March on Washington in 1963 and others traveled to the South to participate in voting drives, Kweskin and his partners in crime played kazoos and washboards in Boston coffeehouses. For every time Joan Baez sang "We Shall Overcome," the Jug Band sang "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me." While conservative commentators of the time may have seen such irreverence as the beginning of the folk revival's end, others clapped their hands and stomped their feet as the band sang "My Gal" and "Rag Mama" with happy abandon.
Washboards, kazoos, novelty songs, and general hilarity combine to make some of the most delightful, foolish music of the 60s. The jug-band craze was small and short-lived, but Kweskin and his band, which included Maria D'Amato, soon to marry bandmember Geoff Muldaur, were its premier act, and this double-disc set captures much of their whimsical style.

I couldn't find a review anywhere by some guy or another who gets paid to write a few lines about a record he could care less about or probably hasn't even listened to. So if you do download this record read the booklet I've included. It should tell you everything you never really cared to know about the groups included.
This is a comp of Swiss groups singing, on the whole, in English during the mid 60s. 60s rock, mod, some pop, some good and a few pretty bad. But heck. I got this during my gotta have Rock'n'Roll by groups outside of America or England period. It sounds good to me but if those girls on the cover are trying to touch the pointed toes of The Sheapes or Les Sauterelles I'll eat the booklet included. But then again, they're Swiss so who knows. -- JohnnyDiego

Etta James - The Second Time Around (1961, Reissue 1988)
Etta James was just 22 when she made the recordings for this album in 1960 and '61, but she had already established herself as a youthful belter of spirited R&B numbers. Like Aretha Franklin in the same period, James felt pressure from recording executives to go in different directions. Chess was unsure whether to market her as an R&B singer or to press her toward mainstream adult pop and jazz. This CD presents both sides of the coin, with James doing rousing R&B numbers such as "Seven Day Fool" and the protosoul of "Don't Cry Baby," lounge tunes like "One for My Baby," the jazz-flavored ballad "Fool That I Am," and Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore." It hardly matters, though, for James's emotional immediacy and potent delivery make all the material her own. --Stuart Broomer

thanks LoFiLarry.... big fan of Gravedigger V... introduced to them from the Garage Sale! cassette back in the day.... "She Got" is a great song
Thanks, LoFi Larry. I downloaded Index on a whim. I've never heard them before but "Original Michigan garage psych" piqued my curiosity. These guys are certainly right out of the garage. And they sound like they recorded these albums in a garage. The Black Album is especially good and rough. It's easy to see why you call these guys obscure but that is right up my alley. Thanks again.
So much fun music here that I don't always hear it when it was posted but i would be remiss if I didn't thank Jillem for Charlie Whitehouse!! Didn't know about that one but now I do. Good stuff as always!! Thank you Jillem and all !!!!!!
Welcome back, RYP, and thank you for kicking things off with the incredible "Taste of Honey" compilation.
Visiting TwilightZone is like going record shopping, and I have to say that some of the records I buy are directly influenced by some of the shares found on this blog. Some reggae albums I've picked up recently, for example, were things I first heard through some of Jillem's shares.
JohnnyD - Thanks for the "Swiss Beat Generation," as it replaced my inferior quality one that I already had. Almost every tune on this collection is a keeper!
Gyro - I haven't heard too much of the later, more Memphis-style O.V. Wright albums before. I ended up playing an earlier album (which I likely got from you as well) and compared it to the later stuff and was blown away by change in style. Ultimately, I think I like the early material best.
LoFi Larry - You've been posting some awesome garage punk over the last couple of months and you've helped to make this already killer blog even better (as if that were even possible). And that goes for a few others as well, like Senseless, ronh1, etc.
Thanks to Jillem and Johnny Q.
Great blog. Thank you all for your efforts. In the light of the Jim Kweskin posting, does anyone have Jump For Joy? Bill
