Tom & Jerry-O - Boo-Ga-Loo
Great Detroit Boogaloo from the 60's!
In May/June 1965 the R&B dance duo of Tom (Robert "Tommy Dark" Tharp) and Jerrio (Jerry Jerome Murray) became One-Hit Wonders as a team with their # 11 R&B/# 47 Billboard Pop Hot 100 Boo-Ga-Loo on ABC-Paramount 10638 b/w Boomerang, after it was first released on their own label, Jerry-O 110, before being picked up bvy the larger distributor. Their next two singles, the nonsense-lyric Great Goo-Ga Moo-Ga b/w Come On And Love Me on ABC-Paramount 10704, and Oolya-Coo, another gibberish-type tune b/w Bacardi on ABC-Paramount 10787 went nowhere. Another failure was the 1966 (Papa Chew) Do The Boo-Ga-Loo Part 1 b/w Part 2 on Jerry-O 111. The St. Louis-born Murray (1939) would score again in 1967/68 as a solo billed as Jerryo for the Bang Records subsidiary Shout, taking Karate-Boo-Ga-Loo to # 16 R&B/# 51 Hot 100 in September/October 1967 on Shout 217 b/w The Pearl, and in February 1968, Funky Boo-Ga-Loo to # 40 R&B on Shout 225 b/w Push Push. After that it was tough sledding as none among these releases could ever get him back on any national charts: (as Jerryo) - Afro Twist Time (Um-Gow-Wow)/Dance What Cha Wanna - Shout 228 in 1968; (Funky) 4 Corners/Soul Lover - Boogaloo 466 in 1968 (also White Whale 282); Soul Sister/Huckle Buck - White Whale 296 in 1969; There Was A Time/Funky Charge - White Whale 318 in 1969; (as Jerry-O) - Karate-Boo-Ga-Loo/The Pearl re-release in 1969 as Boogaloo 102; Popcorn Boogaloo Part 1/ Part 2 as Boogaloo 104 in 1969; The Funky Chicken Yolk/Get A Line as Boogaloo 107 in 1969; Scratch My Back/Soul Pearl as Boogaloo 110 in 1969; (Papa Chew) Do The Boo-Ga-Loo Part 1 b/w Part 2 re-release as Boogaloo 111 in 1969; and Funky Football/Wang Dang Do as Wand 11222 in 1970.

Shake Sauvage (French Soundtracks 1968-1973)
I really wish I could give this compilation CD 6 stars. I've given so many other CDs 5 star ratings - - yet this one's such a satisfied tripped out listen, I wish I could make it stand out...
Fans of acid Jazz, rare groove, funky black action sound tracks, and grooved out organ music ala Jimmy McGriff and Groove Holmes (circa the '70s) will be in soul heaven upon purchase of this well mastered well packaged CD... Remember those funky blaxploitation and nitty gritty crime drama soundtracks (my favorites including Cleopatra Jones, Coffee and Hell Up In Harlem)- - and of course the cool music during the mandatory "chase" scenes, even on those old TV shows ??? This is all that and a bag of escargot...(!) it also has lot's of surprizes... let me give one away : That's Brian Auger you hear bugging out on the Hammond Organ on that funky opening cut "Sexopolis" and "LSD Party" ! ! ! Though some of the other names, might not ring a bell, I'm sure when you hear them you'll start wanting to hunt down all their stuff (if not the movies from which they come) - - Take for example track 4, Phillipe Sarde "Jukes Boxes Chez Saidani" - - a Jazzed out ultra funky bassline, foppin "oriental tinged" funky conga and drum rhythms, and fat vibes swinging out Cal Tjader style with aid of an electric sitar - - Track 8 will even conjure up images of Lyn Collins of JB "It Takes Two To Make A Thing Go Right" people fame...This is the stuff some DJs wet their pants for... You'd probably think that would be the best track on the CD, but it continues to get better - - before you know it Claude Bolling is funking out... wild funky blaxploitation type orchestrations, the congas and drums overboard, psychadelic fuzz guitar, Ramsey Lewis type piano, and yes, a fat gushy chords sustained on a greasy Hammond. And yes, there are tracks with the mandatory funky orchestral arrangements as well as screaming brass, some Jazzy Rhodes, a Fela Kuti type track and lot's more ! - - 5 seconds into this incredible orgy of funky grooves, I got so excited I even forgot about the groovy booby on the cover !
From funky "acid Jazz" (before it was called that), red hot boogaloos - - this album, with its unbelievable music and fantastic sound quality is one of the best I've heard in ages... Comes with a great 16 page booklet (!) Must have for fans of rare groove, funky '70s stuff ! ! ! (Eddie Landsberg, Soul Underground)

Shake Sauvage (French Soundtracks 1968-1973)
The French know and love their movies like no one else in Europe, so it's no surprise that they've produced a few top-notch film composers over the years. The folks at Crippled Dick Hot Wax, the German label that has unearthed all manner of offbeat film music, pay homage to a little-acknowledged side of French movie scoring with Shake Sauvage, a disc featuring cues from 15 different Gallic films released between 1968 and 1973 (with a bit of funky library stock music and one retro-styled cut from the '80s rounding out the track listing). On Shake Sauvage, the focus is on French music that seemingly channels hipper American sounds of the day, from the cool jazz-funk of Claude Bolling's "Full Speed" and the naïve neo-psychedelia of Roland Vincent's "LSD Party" (complete with some of the least fluid wah-wah guitar ever recorded) to the ominous spy movie sounds of George Garvarentz's "Les Temps des Loups," and the lush, seductive organ groove of Jean-Pierre Mirouze's "Sexopolis." Actually, lush organ is one of the dominant themes of this disc (Brian Auger appears on several tracks) along with a pervasive fondness for American pop music filtered through the lens of classic-era European cool. Shake Sauvage seems to have been assembled with denizens of the space age bachelor pads crowd in mind rather than connoisseurs of notable film music, but thankfully this set works nicely on both levels -- fans of upscale Eurotrash cinema will eat this up, as will anyone who likes their pop music grand, polished and just a little bit strange. Mais oui! (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Tommy James - Tommy James (Roulette 1970, Expanded 2009 Rev-Ola)
A very cosmic/psychedelic album cover has seven black-and-white Tommy James heads coasting over what looks like an acid trip, rainbow behind him, colors dripping upwards. It's the opposite of the black-and-white psychedelic look of the Cellophane Symphony album and the first of James' three final albums for Roulette. If we are to take the discs as three chapters, this one is Tommy James and Bob King proving that Tommy James was the Shondells. "Ball and Chain" is poppy and intense, the Velvet Underground gone bubblegum. Clearly, drugs had some influence on Tommy James' work, and where his ex-bandmates took a stab at the third Velvet Underground album with their Hog Heaven track "Come Away," "Ball and Chain" from the first Tommy James solo album sounds like it is an outtake from the Velvet Underground's Loaded CD. "Meet the Comer" has bits of Neil Young's "Helpless," all gone pop, of course. Tommy James' reformulation of pop riffs he would create or nick kept the majority of his albums highly listenable. It's a real gift to tune in and grab melodies from the cosmos, and rest assured, memorable hooks and special sounds are all over these grooves. "Midnight Train" continues the party, making this a very underground pop album. "Come to Me" leads off side two, and it is the lost sequel to "Sugar on Sunday," the big hit for the Clique which first appeared on the Crimson & Clover album. "Come to Me" has a choir of backing vocals and should've been a smash with its flavors of past glories enhanced with a new bridge. Wonderful stuff. As the first part in his solo trilogy, Tommy James pays tribute to Tommy Roe, Billy Joe Royal, and even Bobby Sherman, but shows them all how a pop album is crafted and how Tommy James is the genuine article. It's perhaps the most experimental of all his projects, more cohesive than Peter Lucia and Mike Vale's Hog Heaven, and sets the stage for the refined Christian of the World and the reverent and very satisfying Nashville recording My Head, My Bed and My Red Guitar. Where a song like "Quick Silver would be out of place on those aforementioned titles, it fits perfectly on this descent into a pop maestro's psyche. An enlightening project, and like many of Tommy James' other artistic endeavors, tragically overlooked.(Joe Viglione, Allmusic)

Sly & the Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On [1971, Deluxe 2008]
Riot is unlike any of Sly & the Family Stone's other albums. Stripped of the effervescence that flowed through his previous albums, it is a dark come down from the late '60's high. What makes Riot so remarkable is that it's hard not to get drawn in with him, as you're seduced by the narcotic grooves, seductive vocal slurs, leering electric pianos, and crawling guitars. Featuring the hits ''Family Affair'' (You Caught Me) Smilin''' and now with 4 bonus tracks. (Record Runner)
It's easy to write off There's a Riot Goin' On as one of two things -- Sly Stone's disgusted social commentary or the beginning of his slow descent into addiction. It's both of these things, of course, but pigeonholing it as either winds up dismissing the album as a whole, since it is so bloody hard to categorize. What's certain is that Riot is unlike any of Sly & the Family Stone's other albums, stripped of the effervescence that flowed through even such politically aware records as Stand! This is idealism soured, as hope is slowly replaced by cynicism, joy by skepticism, enthusiasm by weariness, sex by pornography, thrills by narcotics. Joy isn't entirely gone -- it creeps through the cracks every once and awhile and, more disturbing, Sly revels in his stoned decadence. What makes Riot so remarkable is that it's hard not to get drawn in with him, as you're seduced by the narcotic grooves, seductive vocals slurs, leering electric pianos, and crawling guitars. As the themes surface, it's hard not to nod in agreement, but it's a junkie nod, induced by the comforting coma of the music. And damn if this music isn't funk at its deepest and most impenetrable -- this is dense music, nearly impenetrable, but not from its deep grooves, but its utter weariness. Sly's songwriting remains remarkably sharp, but only when he wants to write -- the foreboding opener "Luv N' Haight," the scarily resigned "Family Affair," the cracked cynical blues "Time," and "(You Caught Me) Smilin'." Ultimately, the music is the message, and while it's dark music, it's not alienating -- it's seductive despair, and that's the scariest thing about it. (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

Ry Cooder - Ry Cooder (1970)
Already a seasoned music business veteran at the age of 22, Ry Cooder stepped out from behind the shadows of the likes of Jackie DeShannon, Taj Mahal, the Rolling Stones, and Captain Beefheart, signing his own deal with Warner Brothers records in 1969. Released the following year, Cooder's eponymous debut creates an intriguing fusion of blues, folk, rock & roll, and pop, filtered through his own intricate, syncopated guitar; Van Dyke Parks and Lenny Waronker's idiosyncratic production; and Parks and Kirby Johnson's string arrangements. And while he's still finding his feet as a singer, Cooder puts this unique blend across with a combination of terrific songs, virtuosic playing, and quirky, yet imaginative, arrangements. For material, Cooder, the son of folklorist parents, unearths ten gems -- spanning six decades dating back to the 1920s -- by legends such as Woody Guthrie, Blind Blake, Sleepy John Estes, and Leadbelly, as well as a current Randy Newman composition. Still, as great as his outside choices are, it's the exuberant charm of his own instrumental "Available Space" that nearly steals the show. Its joyful interplay between Cooder's slide, Van Dyke Parks' music hall piano, and the street-corner drumming creates a piece that is both loose and sophisticated. If "Available Space" is the record's most playful moment, its closer, "Dark Is the Night," is the converse, with Cooder's stark, acoustic slide extracting every ounce of torment from Blind Willie Johnson's mournful masterpiece. Some of the eccentric arrangements may prove to be a bit much for both purists and pop audiences alike, but still, Cooder's need to stretch, tempered with a reverence for the past, helps to create a completely original work that should reward adventurous listeners.

Thanks a lot Gyro for "Riot" and more Ry Cooder!!
Cheers Daniel, from (already)scorchingly hot Spain...
gyro, in your sly share, you have the cut "a riot going on" listed at :04". is that a typo?
thanks for it and for detroit, boogaloo, and on-going thanks to you, ryp, and to all.
Gyro, many thanks For Tommy James & Sly.
cheers,ELtel
Gyro, thx for all things Tommy James!
@erasmus, that isn't a typo. The Rolling Stone review by Vince Aletti listed the cut at 0:00, & Sly's manager hinted it was "space for examination of the 'riot' all around you". ahhhhhhh...1971.....
Thanks
thanks, clarence
The anecdote that goes with the picture on the cover of the TX Tornadoes comp is that Buddy and the Crickets arrive in Dallas at the end of a tour with some cash in their pockets with a plan to buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles and ride them back to Lubbock. The employees at the Harley dealership refused to wait on the young West Texans so they walked out and went to plan B instead. Now you know why Buddy, Ivan and Joe B. roared back into town on Triumph motorcycles for their homecoming...
Thanks GYRO
The Tommy James will add to my quest. I recently purchased the album
My Head My Bed and My Red Guitar from a second hand store for $0.40
which made me want to listen to more of Tommy James.
Appreciate the share.
