Andrew Wartts and The Gospel Storytellers - There Is A God Somewhere (1982)
http://www.discogs.com/Andrew-Wartts-and-Gospel-Storytellers-There-Is-A-God-Somewhere/release/3510566
Andrew Wartts, based in Bloomington, Illinois, recorded his landmark gospel album There Is A God Somewhere album in the early 1980s and released it on the small Champ imprint based in Nashville, Tennessee. It took funk archivists years to discover this gem, but it’s a timely resurface. Wartts sound – a mixture of soulful, funky, melancholic yet celebratory exhortations to the Lord – belies the music’s age. In a time when most contemporary-leaning Gospel acts were moving towards the “boogie” sounds of then-pop stars such as Prince and Rick James, Wartts stood firm in his commitment to James Brown style funk. As an example, check out “Peter And John,” a quirky riff on “Give It Up, Turn It Loose.” Turning around neatly in 4/4, the rhythm section chooses to skirt, rather than emphasize, “the one.” The result is a slightly off putting, but wholly original entry into the Gospel-Funk archives.

The Blue Notes - The Truth Has Come To Light (1977)
http://www.discogs.com/Blue-Notes-The-Truth-Has-Come-To-Light/release/2183303
This group was formed in the mid 70's from the departed members of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes minus Harold Melvin and Teddy Pendergrass. The new lineup were members Bernie Wilson, Larry Brown, and Lloyd Parks. The lead vocalist was Bernie Wilson. Several of the songs contain a disco beat of the day and the classic Blue Notes harmony is also present. The album was originally produced by George "Chocolate" Perry who was a musician with TK Records over the years.

Jason Falkner - Everyone Says It's On -Demos (2001)
Japan...what a country! So far it's the only one with the insight to realize there is a deceptively eager population of Jason Falkner fans out there who have been anxiously awaiting a release like this for years, biding their time with silly little files called mp3s. After listening to all 24 glorious "officially released" tracks in a row, I really can't think of anything better.
Since I was fortunate enough to get my hungry little hands on an advance copy of Japanese indie label Air Mail Recordings' Everyone Says It's On, I thought I'd let everyone know what's up with this release with a mini-review. (Please note: if you don't know what the JELLY-L or the Jellyserver is, don't worry about it.)
Disc 1 is the covers portion, and starts off with a great studio-sounding version of "Great Big Yes," followed by a similar quality version of "Song For Her," different from the version released on Songs For Summer, and different than the demo version provided to us on Necessity. Next is a great early demo of "Eloquence" with a few surprise lyrics. The demo of "She Goes To Bed" is the same one on Necessity, as is the version of "His Train." Another early Can You Still Feel? take is offered up next with "All God's Creatures." A priceless early take of "Upside Down Frown" follows, full of lush lyrics abandoned in the later versions. "Became Anita Captured" is another early demo version, fully electrified and built upon a bouncy melody. The takes of "I Live" and "Miracle Medicine" that follow are the same as on Necessity (and for you JELLY-L members out there, are the same versions that are up on the Jellyserver). Next up is a gorgeous early take of "Revelation" which features Jason's haunting vocals and a driving drumbeat. One of the real treasures of this compilation is an old demo of a Grays tune, "Friend of Mine." The last song on disc 1 is "Down At the Lake" first issued on Lovitt's 7-inch of "Holiday."
The all-covers disc 2 jump starts with a rockin' new version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now," with updated guitar work and vocals. The version of the Kink's "Wicked Annabella" is the same version on the Australian single of "Follow Me," and Brian Eno's "Burning Airlines" is the same version released on the LP release of Can You Still Feel? Next is a true gem: an acoustic studio take of Tom Wait's beautiful "Johnsberg, IL" with a gorgous piano outro. (My only complaint is it needs about 20 more verses, it's too gorgeous of a song to last under 2 minutes!) Next is another wonderfully melodic song, the Left Banke's "Pretty Ballerina" (another Jellyserver track). Magazine's "Song From Under the Floorboards" follows, the same version as originally released on the UK single of "I Live." The next track is Essential Logic's groovin' "Fanfare in the Garden" and the Swell Map's "Midget Submarines" (both Jellyserver tracks). The next track is the Strangler's "Goodbye Toulouse" (pow!), a song I'd never had the pleasure of hearing until now. The "last" track on this disc is the Monochrome Set's "Tomorrow Will Be Too Long" (another Jellyserver offering). As a grand finale, a surprise bonus track has been tacked on to finish off this lovely 2-disc compilation, but I'm not one to spoil a surprise.

Jason Falkner - Everyone Says It's On -Demos (2001)
And that's it kiddies! Only 4 of the songs on "Everyone Says It's On" are also on "Necessity," and only 6 others have been officially released only on hard-to-find cd singles, LPs, or various artist compilations. The majority of the songs on this Japanese release will be new to the ears of the average falknerd as well as the obsessive collector. I think you'll all find this great collection of Falkner tunes as enjoyable as I do.

Jerry Corbitt - Corbitt (1969, Remastered 2015)
1969 us, awesome acid folk psych with country and classsic rock shades, 2015 korean remaster
Corbitt was performing as a folksinger in the Cambridge, MA area when he met and started playing with Jesse Colin Young. Young already had a burgeoning career with two albums to his name but, in 1965, the two started to tour in Canada under the name The Youngbloods. The two eventually added Corbitt's friend, bluegrass musician Lowell "Banana" Levinger, and drummer Joe Bauer to flesh out their act into a full band.
The Youngbloods would become the house band at Cafe Au Go Go and signed with RCA Records where they released their self-titled first album in early 1967. A single from the set, the Corbitt written Grizzly Bear, went to number 52 and the follow up, the Chet Powers song Get Together, stalled at 62. The band followed with Earth Music later that year and 1969's Elephant Mountain, none of which broke into the mainstream. Their big success came when New York DJ Dan Ingram used the song Get Together behind a public service announcement he recorded for the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The renewed interest in the track propelled it back up the charts to a peak of numbers.
Corbitt left the Youngbloods in 1969 before the recording of Elephant Mountain to work on a solo career. His first success came in 1971 touring with Charlie Daniels in the duo Corbitt and Daniels. While he did record a couple of solo albums, his main work from the 70's on was in production, starting with Don McLean's Castles in the Air and going on to work with such artists as Pete Seeger, Buffy St. Marie, Janis Ian, Charlie McCoy, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Joy of Cooking, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, Felix Pappalardi and many others. He also worked on numerous movies, TV shows and commercials.
Jerry Corbitt, passed away on Saturday March 9, 2014 at his home in Smiley, Texas of an undisclosed cause.

Papa George Lightfoot - Goin' Back To The Natchez Trace (1969)
Until producer Steve LaVere redicovered him in 1969, harp giant Papa Lightfoot was revered for a mere handful of '50s sides. This album for Vault served as his comeback announcement, a gloriously down-in-the-alley affair cut at then-fledgling Malaco studios in Jackson, MS. Six bonus tracks have been added to the import CD reissue, enhancing an already fine album. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)
Papa George Lightfoot holds the distinction of being one of the few bluesmen to hail from Natchez, Mississippi. While most know Mississippi as the "birth place of the blues", the vast majority of those musicians came from the delta, which is a four hour shot on highway 61 north of Natchez. Natchez, by comparison, is much closer to Lousiana (just across the 'sippi river), and this proximity is forefront in Lightfoot's music. Thus, instead of the country-hard luck blues of the delta (a-la Muddy Waters, Son House, Pat Hare, etc.), Lightfoot's music embraces an r & b based flat-top beer joint good timeyness. Lightfoot's harmonica playing is rhythmic and distinctive. He tends to find a good riff and hang on, and he knows the value of not playing too many notes. He also doesn't do much wailing, a-la Little Walter or Sonnyboy Williamson. All in all, this is good, down-home, backyard BBQ party music, and should give the listener a feel for the electric blues popular in Natchez in 1969, and generally performed (and recorded, if at all) by regional, non-famous working class guys.

Bruce Henderson - The Wheels Roll (1997)
Oklahoma-born, New York-based singer/songwriter Bruce Henderson leads a pickup band of session pros called the High Plains Drifters, including G.E. Smith of the Saturday Night Live band, Andy York, Paul Ossola, and Shawn Pelton, and all of them turn up backing him on his debut solo album, efficiently giving him a Southwest sound that ranges from the acoustic folk of "Texas or New Mexico" to the rock & roll of "I Can Drive" with plenty of country in between. Henderson has a Southern-accented tenor in which he sings lyrics that paint a portrait of a man who is more interested in lust than love and more interested in traveling than settling down. He puts his cards on the table right away, with the double-barreled sentiments of "Feet of Clay" and "House of Love," in which he warns a romantic partner that he is liable to be inconstant ("I fall in love and then I walk away") and restless ("You want to build a house of love/I want a mobile home"). By the time of the fourth song, "There's a Hole," he has found a back-handed way of proposing marriage ("There's a hole in this ring/That you could put a finger through/And there's a hole in your head/If that's what you intend to do"), but he reserves his real enthusiasm for hitting the road ("I Can Drive," "The Wheels Roll"). To put it mildly, there is a conflict in this man's worldview, but it's not one he's unaware of. In fact, he sometimes emphasizes the contradictions, such as in the album-closing "City Folk," in which he acknowledges that he's become a New Yorker over an arrangement that is in Western Swing style, straight out of Bob Wills. So, the character Henderson defines in his songs is an engaging one, not least because of his and his bandmates musical facility. (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic)

Bruce Henderson - Beyond the Pale (1999)
If you like Steve Earle, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams or Emmylou Harris, you will love Bruce Henderson and his great band. A fine, dark CD with by a writer with Oklahoma and Texas roots. (No Depression)
Beyond the Pale is the sort of album that musically seems to disappear into the atmosphere of the bar it might be playing at, but which actually defines and shapes that atmosphere. It demands close scrutiny, especially lyrical scrutiny. The bent is decidedly rootsy and country-rockish, but Henderson seems more influenced by Bob Dylan (and, consequently, Woody Guthrie) than his commercial country-pop brethren, which is not to say that he eschews pop altogether. Beyond the Pale is full of melodies with teeth that are much more distinctive than they first seem. Though sneaky, there are plenty of hooks on the album, but they are hooks that necessitate repeated listening before they begin to sink in. The playing is not at all plodding, but assured and easy. Twangy, reverbed, electric guitars are superimposed over finger-picked acoustic guitars. Accordian pops up on "Flatlands" and "Wash It Away," and there is occasional mandolin and banjo touches. The album would sit comfortably beside (or at least nearby) efforts by the Wallflowers and John Mellencamp. Henderson displays a lyrical and melodic acuity (as well as a melancholy streak) similar to Jakob Dylan (check out the wonderful "Bone Tired"), while his themes are pure country desolation and grief, filled with nowhere towns where nothing happens, drunken nights, and ill-fated relationships. "Speed Rack" features the sort of weezing organ you here on mid-'60s Dylan albums courtesy of Al Kooper, and includes the immortal couplet, "I've never loved another woman/but then again I don't love you," which goes a long way in setting the general mood of the album. The loneliness of the characters about which Henderson writes have empty spaces in their lives that have been there so long they have become permanent, holes that cannot be peopled no matter how hard they try to make human connections. Sadness is inevitable in this world. Henderson's warble, caught half-way between Dylan and Mark Knopfler, adds a world-weary quality to the music that is real and sincere. Yet, as bleak as it may seems and as powerfully as those themes resonate, there is also a sense on Beyond the Pale that Henderson is turning country cliches on their head, making playful jest of "my-woman-left-me-and-my-dog-died" stereotypes. The music is not overtly gloomy, though it is certainly moody. Yet it is a moodiness that lets listeners in, if not to make them share that feeling than at least to help them understand it.
