Dusty Springfield - A Brand New Me (1970 LP)
Sticking with the soul stylings of her stellar Dusty in Memphis recording, Springfield takes her sensual huskiness north to the City of Brotherly Love for this 1970 slice of Philly soul. Doing incredible justice to a batch of top-quality Gamble & Huff songs, Springfield trades in the Stax-inspired swamp grit of her Memphis album for the urban soul kaleidoscope of A Brand New Me. Surrounded by angelically funky string and horn charts from guitarist Roland Chambers and Thom Bell (along with Gamble & Huff, Bell can be counted as an architect of Philly International sound), Springfield sounds positively liberated ranging through the gospel pop closer "Let's Talk It Over," an Aretha-inspired "Silly, Silly Fool," and the Bacharach-styled ballad "Joe." These get topped off by the upbeat Jackson 5 knockoff "Bad Case of the Blues" and covers of two of Jerry Butler's best Mercury hits, "Lost" and "A Brand New Me." Along with Dusty in Memphis and her early You Don't Have to Say You Love Me record, Brand New Me figures into Springfield's handful of really top-notch albums. (Stephen Cook, Allmusic)

20 Greats From The Golden Decade Of Power Pop (2005)
There have been many compilations that cover the same ground as Varese's 2005 collection 20 Greats from the Golden Decade of Power Pop, often with the very same songs -- it must be an unwritten law that power pop various-artists collections have to have the Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action," 20/20's "Yellow Pills," Phil Seymour's "Precious to Me," Dwight Twilley's "I'm on Fire," the Raspberries' "Go All the Way," and Todd Rundgren's "Couldn't I Just Tell You" (although it is true that any album anywhere would benefit from inclusion of the latter). Nevertheless, this 20-track set is the best single-disc sampler of '70s power pop, since it not only contains all the aforementioned standards, but it also has selections from Big Star and Badfinger, the Spongetones and the Beat, Shoes and the Scruffs -- plus, it's the first power pop disc in recent memory to actually license Cheap Trick's perennial "Surrender." So that means that this disc is arguably the best available single-disc, multi-artist introduction to power pop, which means it's useful for the curious, even though every power pop fanatic in the world has each of these songs several times over already.

Memphis Jug Band (Yazoo L-1067)
Essential for any real music collection. If you've gotten as far as this page, you must be at least somewhat interested in blues and old-time music. If so, you really shouldn't miss out on the Memphis Jug Band. This is music of the highest order.
I've run across a couple of music writers who've said that another well-known jug band, Cannon's Jug Stompers (including all the variously-named versions of Gus Cannon's groups), are in some way superior to the Memphis Jug Band. First, just to get it off my chest, I totally disagree, I think the Memphis Jug Band is the better of the two. Second, and much more important, whichever you prefer, they are both absolutely essential to anyone who wants to know the history of American music.
This music is just sublime. What you'll hear are sloppy-but-absolutely-perfect harmonies, the elevation of hokum to a high art form, a fine command of their instruments, and a wide emotional range. Some of the songs are flat-out masterpieces, like Stealin' Stealin', On The Road Again, KC Moan, Fourth Street Mess Around, Cocaine Habit Blues, and others. The ones that are not quite at that level are still interesting and fun. If you're a musician, this material offers a wealth of learning.
Since I am a devotee of this group, I have the four-disk complete collection on Document Records, but I only graduated to that collection after years of listening to this one. Some quibbles might be made about two or three of the selections on this one (especially the inclusion of both Newport News Blues and Aunt Caroline Dyer Blues, which are the same song. Omitting one of the versions would have made room for one of the several fine MJB tunes that are not on here), but only quibbles. This definitely gets you all of the Memphis Jug Band's masterpieces....
Don't choose between Cannon's Jug Stompers and the Memphis Jug Band. Get them both. Both are terribly underrated--they should be included on any list of the best pre-electric blues ever made (though both go beyond the blues form), and, for that matter, among the best music America has ever produced.

Datura4 - Demon Blues (2015)
Australians are a people who traditionally prefer their rock & roll hearty and full-bodied, and Datura4, a new combo featuring several veterans of the Aussie rock scene, certainly seem to bear this out. On their debut album, 2015's Demon Blues, Datura4 reel off a broad range of stylistic influences that almost entirely reach back to hard and heavy sounds that enjoyed their heyday before 1974 -- high-swagger boogie and blues-rock, psychedelic guitar exploration, simple first-generation hard rock, and just the slightest dash of garage rock sneer and fuzz for flavoring. Given the history of the guys on board -- guitarist and lead singer Dom Mariani was a founding member of the Stems, guitarist Greg Hitchcock worked with You Am I and the New Christs, bassist Stu Loasby was in Ripples Souls, and Warren Hall played drums with the Drones -- one would certainly expect Datura4 to rock hard, and they do. But unlike a lot of bands with a taste for vintage heavy sounds, Datura4 also know when to apply a light touch, and the greasy slink of "Another Planet" and the stretched-out jamming on "Love to Burn" are the work of a band that's learned something about dynamics, with players who can turn it up or dial it back as the circumstances dictate. But even when Hitchcock is surveying the universe on the more psych-leaning tunes, Datura4 know how to get to the point, and the jams manage to maintain a healthy focus while rockers like "Journey Home," "Out with the Tide," and the title tune are dirty-denim rockers that get the job done with plenty of attitude and not too much fuss. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)
So great to see Dom Mariani put his Rock n Roll Shoes back on. Everything he does is excellent and I consider him one of the most underrated musicians in rock. The Stems, the DM3 and his numerous surf side projects are all spot on perfect. Mr. Mariani refuses to be nostalgic and has a wide spectrum of sounds of which he is the master. If I could turn one rock fan onto Dom Mariani, I would feel I did a very good thing. As others have mentioned this rocks hard as hell. Dom has left the garage for good now and has reached it's logical conclusion, sorta like the years of 1965 up until the full blossoming of Hard rock around 1972 (with bands like Led Zeppelin, Mott the Hoople, Spooky Tooth and Humble Pie roaming this desolate land.) Thanks to the great people at Bomp/ Alive Records for keeping the rock spirit alive. (Record Runner)

Charles Brimmer - Soulman (1976)

Jethro Tull - Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull (2007)
To some, Jethro Tull will always be associated with Ian Anderson's flute playing and more rocking, arena-worthy moments. But like Led Zeppelin, Tull was all about balancing their sonic mood swings; they could effortlessly transform between being loud & proud rock & rollers to more tranquil folksmen in the blink of an eye. The 2007 compilation, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull is self-explanatory, since the 24-track set focuses solely on the "unplugged" side of Tull. But some of Tull's finest moments were acoustic guitar-based, including such early classics as "Mother Goose," "Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)," and "Fat Man" (here's a fun game to play: the next time you watch the movie Boogie Nights, try to spot the scene that uses the latter song). And while the never-ending title track from Thick as a Brick is primarily a rocking prog number, its intro is certainly one of Tull's finest acoustic moments, and is included here. However, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull isn't just about the early-'70s era, as it includes selections from all eras, including such forgotten or oft-overlooked tracks as "Jack in the Green," "Weathercock," and "One Brown Mouse." As an overview of Tull's acoustic side, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull thoroughly covers all the bases. (Allmusic)

Very nice. Thanks to RYP and crispy!
Gyro, many thanks for sharing, Jethro Tull and Crowded House...great.
Harmonica Frank Floyd was his own best caricature. A hobo and refugee from the old Southern medicine shows who sang and played like a throwback from the 1920s, he was as colorful as they come, and a case could be made that without Frank there wouldn't have been an Elvis. He was born to itinerant parents on October 11, 1908, in Toccopola, MS, and his parents promptly separated without even giving him a proper name (he decided to call himself Frank Floyd as a teen), leaving Frank to be raised by his sharecropping grandparents. He taught himself to play harmonica when he was ten, and eventually became a pretty decent guitar player as well, developing a hands- and rack-free method of playing harmonica that allowed him to play both instruments at once and still manage to sing.
Following the death of his grandparents, and while still a teenager, Floyd began working as a comedian and musician on the carnival and medicine show circuits, leading to some 30 years of hoboing that would generate his frequent boasts that he never spent two nights in the same place. He began working in radio in 1932, and cut a few sides for Chess Records in 1951, the most notable of which was "Swamp Root." He cut the ultra-primitive "Rockin' Chair Daddy" for Sam Phillips' Sun Records in 1954, becoming the first white musician to record at the studio. "Rockin' Chair Daddy" sounded like a song and recording straight out of the country blues era of the 1920s, but it had just a tinge of what would eventually be called rockabilly, and one can imagine Phillips wondering what would happen if he could find a young, good looking white guy who could sing this kind of stuff -- enter Elvis.
Floyd never abandoned his archaic, medicine show-derived style, and when the folk revival hit, he found himself in demand again. He continued to perform and record occasionally right up until his death in Blanchester, OH, on August 7, 1984. An American original, his life linked the medicine show tradition to early rock & roll, and there are precious few who could ever make that claim.
