"WHERE BIRDMEN FLEW" - Legends of Marsupial Punk - LP bootleg, US Taz Devil TAZ001

"Pretty much every song here kicks major ass!"Great LP. One of the earliest of the late 70's Australian punk compilations…
…Most of the material has since been made available on other compilations, many of these tracks are on the Murder Punk CDs. Still worth picking up though for the tracks that aren't, if you can find it cheaply! Now you've found it here very very cheaply!!!

"Cajun Classics" The Kings Of Cajun At Their Best - Vol 1

This 24-song disc has one notable advantage over many other Cajun compilations: the chronological span is very wide, going from Iry LeJeune's "Grande Bosco" in the mid-1950s to 1990s efforts by Jimmy Breaux, the Jambalay Cajun Band and David Greely...
...Partially for that reason, it has more variety than the usual Cajun anthology, though if you're the type who can only handle a few songs in the style at a time, this isn't going to change your mind about the diversity (or lack of it) in the genre. Dewey Balfa and Nathan Abshire are some of the big Cajun names to be found here, yet most of these artists have a much lower profile. Includes the only Cajun song to make the Top 100, Cleveland Crochet's 1961 single "Sugar Bee," whose guitar player sounds besotted by the kind of sounds Chuck Berry got on "School Days." Bill Matte's "Parlez Vous L'Francais" (from the same year) also has a hot rock & roll guitar break. For slightly outrageous novelty, the album concludes with Nolan Cormier's "Hee Haw Breakdown," where the vocals are either riding commands from rider to horse, or imitation animal noises. - by Richie Unterberger

The Black Seeds "Solid Ground" 2008

...Into the Dojo was also the start of the bands movement from their New Zealand base to the rest of the world. After signing a 2-album deal with respected German-based label Sonar Kollektiv, Into The Dojo was successfully released in Europe in 2007, supported by two 12" vinyl EP's (Best Seven/Sonar Kollekitv). The album received critical acclaim and strong airplay, particularly in Germany and France where it reached high rotate and was featured as Album Of The Week on stations such as Radio Nova (France), Radio Eins (Germany) and more...
...Tracks from the album featured on compilations such as Nova Tunes 07 (alongside songs from Radiohead, Jose Gonzalez) and The Answer featured as iTunes France’s Single of the Week, all of which contributed to the start of a fast-growing fan base for the band in Europe.

Written and workshopped in beach-house locations around Wellington, The Black Seeds fourth and latest album Solid Ground was successfully released in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, between August – October, 2008, and reaching well-over platinum sales in New Zealand.
Produced by the bands guitarist Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo), the album oozes with The Black Seeds distinctive flavour – from the heavy-hitting, Karma-inspired Slingshot and darker reggae/dub-infused tracks like Send a Message and The Bubble, to infectious reggae gems like Love Is A Radiation, Come To Me, and the funk/soul filled Rotten Apple and Afrophone...to be continued - muzic.net.nz

The Cramps "File Under Sacred Music" (10-single vinyl boxset) 2011

The Cramps may have swept to attention in the wake of the ‘70s punk rock wave, but they were of a different species entirely...
...This otherness is what makes the Cramps so special. By accident, design or mutated genetic disposition they were able to tap directly into the deep India-ink-black essence that lies at the core of all primal rock’n’roll. What they created with their best music and their live performances—that otherness—was something that existed out-of-time with the rest of the world—and certainly the rest of the music scene. The Cramps’ unique vision spawned hundreds of imitators, hopping blindly, stupidly like so many fleas on the back of a big hairy dog. The wanna-fleas may have grokked the mad rockabilly pulse or the voodoo mystique, but the vital essence of it was beyond their understanding. Only the Cramps themselves fully grokked that secret, sacred magic.
If you’d forgotten or, god forbid, never knew just how great the Cramps were, this 10-single vinyl boxset will set you straight in a hurry. Some of the very best of their earliest primal goo-goo muck is here: “The Way I Walk,” “Human Fly,” “Mystery Plane,” “Garbage Man,” “TV Set,” “Goo Goo Muck,” “New Kind of Kick”—the list goes on. Six of these 10 discs are splendid repros of the original 1978-81 singles; four are new pairings with specially-designed cover art in keeping with the all-important original aesthetic. The vinyl box also includes a nifty envelope stuffed with picture postcards.
Liner notes by original Legion of the Cramped fanclub prez Lindsay Hutton seal the deal for this box of Uranium-infused rock’n’roll juice that’ll provide thrills and chills for a million years to come. Sacred. (Mike Stax) Ugly Things

CAMEO-PARKWAY RECORDS: All The Odds & Ends Vol. 14 (Novelty, Instrumental, Rock, Soul)

Cameo Records was founded in December 1956 in Philadelphia by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann (it has no connection to a 1920s record label also called Cameo Records). Parkway, initially a subsidiary label, was formed in 1958...
...Mann and Lowe had been a successful songwriting team prior to the start of label, with Mann writing lyrics and Lowe the music; their biggest hit prior to starting the label was Elvis Presley's "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". Dave Appell joined the label from its inception as A&R director, and the three worked together as a production team on many early Cameo releases. Mann and Lowe wrote many of the label's early singles, while Mann and Appell also became a successful songwriting team that was responsible for many of the label's hits, particularly after Lowe cut back on his songwriting (c.1961/62) to attend to the business of running the label. In addition, Appel's group The Applejacks functioned as the de facto Cameo house band for the first few years of the company's existence, serving as backing musicians for the label's vocalists as well as issuing a handful of instrumental singles on their own. Lowe, also a musician, played piano on many early tracks.
The first hit for Cameo was "Butterfly" by Charlie Gracie, which reached #1 nationally in early 1957; it was also Cameo-Parkway's first of five chart toppers. Throughout the remainder of the decade Cameo continued to have hits by groups like the R&B group the Rays, who had a #3 hit with "Silhouettes" later that year. In 1958 the label had further hits with "Dinner With Drac", a novelty record by John Zacherle in the top 10, and "Mexican Hat Rock", an instrumental by The Applejacks, in the top 20.
A major factor in Cameo-Parkway's success was its relationship with the Philadelphia-based TV program American Bandstand. Being located in the same city where this popular nationally-broadcast music show was produced meant that Cameo-Parkway artists were always available to perform on the show—especially in the event any other act should cancel. Bandstand host and producer Dick Clark has spoken of the "warm relationship" the program had with Cameo-Parkway, and the of the label's willingness to ensure that quality musical acts were always available to the program on short notice. The label benefited tremendously from the arrangement, as the exposure many Cameo-Parkway artists received on American Bandstand helped propel them to stardom.

The Black Seeds "Into the Dojo" 2006

...The Black Seeds released their debut album Keep On Pushing in 2001 and despite a tiny marketing budget the album reached platinum sales in New Zealand, as well as being successfully released in Australia through Shock Records...
...The second album, 2004's On the Sun, added a heavy dose of funk and soul to their dub reggae sound. Debuting at No. 3 in the New Zealand Charts, the album achieved double-platinum sales with the single So True becoming one of the most successful New Zealand singles of 2005.
In July 2007, The Black Seeds released their third album Into the Dojo in New Zealand. Spending five consecutive weeks at No. 1, and a total of 52 weeks in the album charts, the album has sold well over double-platinum sales and spawned four radio hits with singles The Answer, Sometimes Enough, Cool Me Down and One By One. The album showed a great deal of development in the group's sound; and for the first time song-writing duties were shared between the band members...to be continued - muzic.net.nz

"Troubadours" Folk and the Roots of American Music, Pt. 1 CD 3

Bear Family split their 12-disc American folk retrospective into quarters: four sets covering roughly 1936 through 1972, each following a loose chronology but assembled to make big, broader points about the music's evolution...
...Even though this first volume reaches back as far as 1928 for the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower," most of the music on the first disc of this edition dates from 1940 and beyond, with much of it dedicated to Woody Guthrie, who was undeniably the pivotal figure of '40s and '50s folk. Think of this as the companion set to Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. Where that collection curated the songs of the old, weird America, the Troubadours of Folk series traces the evolution of folk from a communal art to a personal one, one where the focus was often on the singer as much as the song. On this first volume, the spotlight is on Guthrie -- who has 11 songs on the first disc, including "Do Re Mi," "I Ain't Got No Home," "Grand Coulee Dam," and "This Land Is Your Land" -- and his immediate followers, most of whom comprised the great folk scare of the '50s. This starts to surface on the second disc, which concentrates on Pete Seeger and the Weavers, but also finds space to slip in some early Terry Gilkyson and Merle Travis' "Sixteen Tons," the latter showing how folk and country sometimes blurred the lines. Singers and songwriters alike comprise the third disc, which is devoted to the '50s: Cisco Houston, Jean Ritchie, and Oscar Brand are the heavy-hitters here, acts that often brought traditional songs into the mainstream, but Bob Gibson and Paul Clayton are the first signs that the spotlight was starting to shift from older songs to self-penned originals. In a sense, this is all a prelude to the explosion that takes place in the '60s in the wake of Bob Dylan, but this is both fascinating -- and entertaining -- history in its own right, history that's essential to the understanding of American song in the 20th century.(Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

Squirrel Nut Zippers "The Best Of Squirrel Nut Zippers" 2002

In early 2007, the band's official website announced tour dates with a lineup consisting of Jimbo Mathus, Katharine Whalen, Chris Phillips, Je Widenhouse, Stuart Cole, and Will Dawson. With the proclamation "Ladies and Gentlemen...They're Back," the band performed concert dates throughout the U.S. and Canada in the spring and summer of 2007 and through 2008...
...In late February 2009, Phillips sent an e-mail announcing a forthcoming live album called You Are My Radio, recorded in Brooklyn in December 2008. The album title was later changed to Lost at Sea and was released on October 27 through Southern Broadcasting/MRI. They also announced plans for a studio album in 2010. The band taped a performance for NPR's Mountain Stage, which aired in mid-November.
Following renewed interest at the approach of the 20th Anniversary of Hot, Mathus began assembling a revival band, focusing on musicians in the New Orleans area. They began touring in June 2016, with the initial line-up including Mathus, Dr. Sick (fiddle, vocals), Ingrid Lucia (vocals), Kris Tokarski (piano), Charlie Halloran (trombone), Dave Boswell (trumpet), Henry Westmoreland (saxophone), Tamara Nicolai (upright bass) and Kevin O’Donnell (drums), with original Zippers drummer Chris Phillips managing, and Alex Holeman as road manager.
The band has continued to tour; a new studio album, Beasts of Burgundy was released March 23, 2018 via their own label Southern Broadcasting. Performers on the album include Mathus (guitar, vocals), Dr. Sick (fiddle, banjo, various instruments, vocals), Cella Blue (vocals), Vanessa Niemann (vocals), Tamar A. Korn (vocals), Dave Boswell (trumpet), Kevin Louis (trumpet), Aurora Nealand (clarinet), Charlie Halloran (trombone), Colin Myers (trombone), Henry Westmoreland (tenor and baritone saxophone), Kris Tokarski (piano), Leslie P. Martin (piano), Tamara Nicolai (upright bass), Neilson Bernard III (drums) and Chris Phillips (percussion). - wiki

The Black Seeds "On the Sun" 2004

...Lyrically The Black Seeds music expresses messages on different levels. Personal triumphs and failures, the fear of love, death, apathy, and relationships, give a personal insight into the lives of the musicians. Ultimately though, their songs are always under-pinned with an underlying positivity and optimism...
...Headquarters is, and always has been, the Surgery Studio in the capital city of Wellington. A former Karate Dojo and condemned building, the band’s sound engineer Lee Prebble took advantage of the cheap rent to set up the studio, which has since been responsible for producing some of New Zealand’s finest albums of recent years (TrinityRoots, The Phoenix Foundation). The Surgery is the practice room, recording studio, and general hangout space for the band, with all four of their albums having been produced there...to be continued - muzic.net.nz

The Atomic Mosquitos "Atomic Mosquitos" 2002

If you enjoy trad-meets-sci-fi surf sounds, the new Atomic Mosquitos CD is for you. Cool sounds, solid playing and great artwork from Stephen Blickenstaff. One really cool thing is that the CD contains all original material (13 tunes). No covers necessary. Pick up this CD! - Art Bourasseau MuSick Recordings
I've been hearing ripples on the water for quite a while about the Atomic Mosquitos. Their album is nearing completion, and I'm privileged to be able to review this advance CD-R of the tracks. You can feel the compressors breathe as the band drives these fine melodies home. This is a really nice set of surf tunes, well written and maturely arranged, yet fun and adventurous. - Phil Dirt - Reverb Central

CAMEO-PARKWAY RECORDS: The Vocal Groups, Vol. 12

Cameo Records was founded in December 1956 in Philadelphia by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann (it has no connection to a 1920s record label also called Cameo Records). Parkway, initially a subsidiary label, was formed in 1958...
...Mann and Lowe had been a successful songwriting team prior to the start of label, with Mann writing lyrics and Lowe the music; their biggest hit prior to starting the label was Elvis Presley's "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". Dave Appell joined the label from its inception as A&R director, and the three worked together as a production team on many early Cameo releases. Mann and Lowe wrote many of the label's early singles, while Mann and Appell also became a successful songwriting team that was responsible for many of the label's hits, particularly after Lowe cut back on his songwriting (c.1961/62) to attend to the business of running the label. In addition, Appel's group The Applejacks functioned as the de facto Cameo house band for the first few years of the company's existence, serving as backing musicians for the label's vocalists as well as issuing a handful of instrumental singles on their own. Lowe, also a musician, played piano on many early tracks.
The first hit for Cameo was "Butterfly" by Charlie Gracie, which reached #1 nationally in early 1957; it was also Cameo-Parkway's first of five chart toppers. Throughout the remainder of the decade Cameo continued to have hits by groups like the R&B group the Rays, who had a #3 hit with "Silhouettes" later that year. In 1958 the label had further hits with "Dinner With Drac", a novelty record by John Zacherle in the top 10, and "Mexican Hat Rock", an instrumental by The Applejacks, in the top 20.
A major factor in Cameo-Parkway's success was its relationship with the Philadelphia-based TV program American Bandstand. Being located in the same city where this popular nationally-broadcast music show was produced meant that Cameo-Parkway artists were always available to perform on the show—especially in the event any other act should cancel. Bandstand host and producer Dick Clark has spoken of the "warm relationship" the program had with Cameo-Parkway, and the of the label's willingness to ensure that quality musical acts were always available to the program on short notice. The label benefited tremendously from the arrangement, as the exposure many Cameo-Parkway artists received on American Bandstand helped propel them to stardom.

The Black Seeds "Keep on pushing" 2001

Originating from Wellington, The Black Seeds have carved out their reputation through platinum selling albums, a masterful live show, and a sound that fuses infectious grooves and melodies with undiluted roots music. With numerous European festival tours behind them, and a successful 2009 North American album release, their following continues to spread quickly around the globe...
...Led by the vocals of Barnaby Weir and Daniel Weetman, at its core The Black Seeds music is a boundary-crossing sound fusion of big-beat funk, dub, soul, mixed with vintage roots-reggae.
Described by Clash Magazine as "one of the best reggae acts on the planet", their legendary 8-piece live show brings the raw energy and good vibes wherever it goes. They have countless sell-out New Zealand and Australasian tours behind them, and regularly perform at many of Europe and North America’s biggest festivals...to be continued - muzic.net.nz

"Troubadours" Folk and the Roots of American Music, Pt. 1 CD 2

Bear Family split their 12-disc American folk retrospective into quarters: four sets covering roughly 1936 through 1972, each following a loose chronology but assembled to make big, broader points about the music's evolution...
...Even though this first volume reaches back as far as 1928 for the Carter Family's "Wildwood Flower," most of the music on the first disc of this edition dates from 1940 and beyond, with much of it dedicated to Woody Guthrie, who was undeniably the pivotal figure of '40s and '50s folk. Think of this as the companion set to Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. Where that collection curated the songs of the old, weird America, the Troubadours of Folk series traces the evolution of folk from a communal art to a personal one, one where the focus was often on the singer as much as the song. On this first volume, the spotlight is on Guthrie -- who has 11 songs on the first disc, including "Do Re Mi," "I Ain't Got No Home," "Grand Coulee Dam," and "This Land Is Your Land" -- and his immediate followers, most of whom comprised the great folk scare of the '50s. This starts to surface on the second disc, which concentrates on Pete Seeger and the Weavers, but also finds space to slip in some early Terry Gilkyson and Merle Travis' "Sixteen Tons," the latter showing how folk and country sometimes blurred the lines. Singers and songwriters alike comprise the third disc, which is devoted to the '50s: Cisco Houston, Jean Ritchie, and Oscar Brand are the heavy-hitters here, acts that often brought traditional songs into the mainstream, but Bob Gibson and Paul Clayton are the first signs that the spotlight was starting to shift from older songs to self-penned originals. In a sense, this is all a prelude to the explosion that takes place in the '60s in the wake of Bob Dylan, but this is both fascinating -- and entertaining -- history in its own right, history that's essential to the understanding of American song in the 20th century.(Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

The Sonics "Psycho-Sonic" 2003

PSYCHO-SONIC is a 29-song retrospective of garage-rock band the Sonics, whose name was inspired by the Boeing aircraft surrounding them in their hometown of Tacoma, Washington. The collection includes the Sonics' first single, "(She's a) Witch" - which reportedly holds the record for the best-selling indie single in the Northwest - plus two live versions of the song. In an era when the raw sounds of '60s garage-rock heroes the Sonics have been featured in an SUV commercial, it's possible to underestimate the fierceness of their straight-for-the-jugular attack. That is, until you hear the quintessential Sonics compilation, PSYCHO-SONIC. Here are 29 tracks of garage-rock grandeur featuring Tacoma's favorite sons in all their unfettered glory, tearing into a mix of blues, R&B, proto-psychedelia, and frantic rock & roll that's often gotten them labeled as "the first punk rock band.
"Everyone would agree that the Sonics reached their peak on their 1964-65 recordings for Etiquette. This 29-track compilation has everything they recorded for the label, extended not just to everything from their singles and two albums, but also with an alternate take of "The Witch" and live recordings of "Psycho" and "The Witch." Consequently, it's the best Sonics release on the market, though you should be warned: it's not wall-to-wall greatness. After the first half-dozen or so songs, you might well be ready to buy into their legend as one of the great (and certainly rawest) '60s garage bands, as those tracks include their toughest elementary riff-fueled pounders: "The Witch," "Psycho," "Boss Hoss," "He's Waitin'," and "Strychnine." But too much of the rest is filled out with covers of '50s and '60s rock and R&B standards, and the relentlessly frantic bang-it-out frat punk and throat-tearing vocals get blurry after a while, though at least they threw in a little-covered tune with their version of Adam Faith's "It's Alright." [The 2003 CD edition of this anthology, incidentally, is substantially different from Big Beat's first release of the material, though it has identical tracks and the same title. It's taken from first-generation tapes, and also has a 20-page booklet of liner notes with extensive quotes from several band members (including lead singer Gerry Roslie) and others involved in the group's career.] --Richie Unterberger, AllMusic (Rating: 4,5/5 stars)

Ghost Club "Suicide Train" 2006

Abbott’s name was a new one to most NZ rock and pop train spotters, his CV not as canonical as the rest of Ghost Club. His earliest band, Selwyn College’s self-deprecating The Worst, saw Abbott on drums, with Peter McLennan (Hallelujah Picassos) on guitar and Troy Ferguson (long time 95bFM radio host and music writer) on bass. A posthumous cassette comp released in 1984 rated an enthusiastic Chris Knox review in RipItUp. The Worst birthed an experimental side project, The Jellys, with Abbott, Ferguson and Simon Josey on small and homemade instruments, and tape loops...
...Abbott first met Mitchell in 1985 and met Roughan around the time he was playing bass with the short-lived Toad (1991-92), which featured former Axel Grinders John Segovia, Duane Zarakov and Celia Mancini, with Abbott on bass. “We only played live a couple of times,” says Abbott. “I went away to Wellington for a few weeks and when I came back to Auckland, Shaft and King Loser had formed and Toad were no more.”
After Auckland, Abbott landed in London in 1993, and formed the Club with Roughan and Mitchell when they arrived in 1997. “Our first practice was in my fourth floor council flat at the Elephant and Castle in South London using small amps and a child's drum machine.” (Abbott)

"Truckers, Kickers, Cowboy Angels" The Blissed-Out Birth of Country Rock, Vol. 1 disc 2: 1966-1968

Appropriately enough, the first volume of Bear Family's seven-volume country-rock series Truckers, Kickers, Cowboy Angels kicks off with the voice of Gram Parsons, the man who wrote the line that gives this project its title and the man commonly acknowledged as the Hank Williams of country-rock...
...Parsons wasn't the first or only West Coast cowboy to get to this hybrid of Bakersfield country, Nashville craft, hippie ideals, and rock & roll amplification, which this double-disc, 41-track set makes perfectly clear. Gram gave country-rock a mythos and enduring sex appeal but he was supported by a number of long-haired refugees, Music City freaks, and Hollywood misfits, all of whom feature prominently on this compilation. Covering the years 1966-1968, this first volume happily blurs borders not just between country and rock but between the respectable and not, rightly finding place for Rick Nelson and the Monkees' "What Am I Doing Hangin' Round" in between Parsons' first band International Submarine Band and his second, the Byrds. Other L.A. folk-rockers show up, namely Buffalo Springfield and Bobbie Gentry -- who was always halfway between California and Tennessee -- and they also have a strong presence on the first disc. The second has places for the Band and Bob Dylan but this collection of 1968 sides is heavy on the Byrds (who had then enlisted Parsons to complete their country makeover, the Dillards and the Beau Brummels, along with the Everly Brothers, who were the only '50s survivors working in this idiom. Every one of these names will be familiar to aficionados of country-rock and perhaps even to fellow travelers, but surprise isn't quite the goal of this set. What this intends to provide is a portrait of the rise of country-rock in all its wooly glory and Truckers, Kickers, Cowboy Angels does so, quite gloriously.(Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

The Paladins "Slippin' In" 1999

This album contains authentic rockabilly sounds, real country music, western swing and a surf instrumental tune thrown in for good measure. If you are a Paladins fan that came on board with Ticket Home (later reissued as Rejivinated) you may not dig this cd as much as the rest of us. I think this is one of their best albums to date and it is certainly the best rockabilly they have recorded. - amazon
Slippin' In marks a return to the predominantly rockabilly sound of the Paladins' first two albums, strongly recalling the early years of Sun Records, when the line between rock & roll and country could be blurred to varying degrees at any time. There are bits of Western swing and surf music thrown in as well, adding to the group's freewheeling vibe; a fairly consistent set of songs, too, helps make this one of the Paladins' better albums. ~ Steve Huey

Ghost Club "Ghostclubbing" 2001

Amidst the millennial guitar rawk revival, when Detroit was the new Detroit, and groups like The White Stripes and The Datsuns were shooting up the charts and shuffling on your iPod, a cadre of New Zealanders settled in London and wielded a Ghost Club, and the hard rock sound got roundly clocked. A few years earlier, EnZed’s extra-dimensional adventurers The 3Ds had “quietly moved apart”. “I don’t think there was any animosity or bad feeling,” recalls guitarist David Mitchell, “all of a sudden, we were into the big [music] machine and I don't think we had any idea of what was out there.” (NZ Herald, 8 April 2005)
Though their band had broken up, guitarist Mitchell and drummer/ bassist Denise Roughan got together and made the shift to London. As Roughan remembers it, “We wanted a change of scenery, and from what we both knew of London we really loved it and wanted to have a crack at living there. So that was kind of the end of The 3Ds … we ran out of steam, basically.” (Musical Chairs, Radio New Zealand National, 19 November 2011)
Ghost Club bassist/ drummer Jim Abbott recalls their portentous arrival. “Dave accidentally left a bag containing his wah wah and various other effect pedals at Victoria Station. The police were called, rush hour trains were cancelled and the station was evacuated until it was confirmed that the bag didn't contain a bomb. When they got hold of Dave the police asked, “Have you got any idea what you've done?' " (interview with the author, 2015)

Covering the years 1966-1968, this first volume happily blurs borders not just between country and rock but between the respectable and not, rightly finding place for Rick Nelson and the Monkees' "What Am I Doing Hangin' Round" in between Parsons' first band International Submarine Band and his second, the Byrds. Other L.A. folk-rockers show up, namely Buffalo Springfield and Bobbie Gentry -- who was always halfway between California and Tennessee -- and they also have a strong presence on the first disc. The second has places for the Band and Bob Dylan but this collection of 1968 sides is heavy on the Byrds (who had then enlisted Parsons to complete their country makeover, the Dillards and the Beau Brummels, along with the Everly Brothers, who were the only '50s survivors working in this idiom. Every one of these names will be familiar to aficionados of country-rock and perhaps even to fellow travelers, but surprise isn't quite the goal of this set. What this intends to provide is a portrait of the rise of country-rock in all its wooly glory and Truckers, Kickers, Cowboy Angels does so, quite gloriously.(Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)

CAMEO-PARKWAY RECORDS: The Vocal Groups, Vol. 9

Cameo Records was founded in December 1956 in Philadelphia by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann (it has no connection to a 1920s record label also called Cameo Records). Parkway, initially a subsidiary label, was formed in 1958...
...Mann and Lowe had been a successful songwriting team prior to the start of label, with Mann writing lyrics and Lowe the music; their biggest hit prior to starting the label was Elvis Presley's "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear". Dave Appell joined the label from its inception as A&R director, and the three worked together as a production team on many early Cameo releases. Mann and Lowe wrote many of the label's early singles, while Mann and Appell also became a successful songwriting team that was responsible for many of the label's hits, particularly after Lowe cut back on his songwriting (c.1961/62) to attend to the business of running the label. In addition, Appel's group The Applejacks functioned as the de facto Cameo house band for the first few years of the company's existence, serving as backing musicians for the label's vocalists as well as issuing a handful of instrumental singles on their own. Lowe, also a musician, played piano on many early tracks.
The first hit for Cameo was "Butterfly" by Charlie Gracie, which reached #1 nationally in early 1957; it was also Cameo-Parkway's first of five chart toppers. Throughout the remainder of the decade Cameo continued to have hits by groups like the R&B group the Rays, who had a #3 hit with "Silhouettes" later that year. In 1958 the label had further hits with "Dinner With Drac", a novelty record by John Zacherle in the top 10, and "Mexican Hat Rock", an instrumental by The Applejacks, in the top 20.
A major factor in Cameo-Parkway's success was its relationship with the Philadelphia-based TV program American Bandstand. Being located in the same city where this popular nationally-broadcast music show was produced meant that Cameo-Parkway artists were always available to perform on the show—especially in the event any other act should cancel. Bandstand host and producer Dick Clark has spoken of the "warm relationship" the program had with Cameo-Parkway, and the of the label's willingness to ensure that quality musical acts were always available to the program on short notice. The label benefited tremendously from the arrangement, as the exposure many Cameo-Parkway artists received on American Bandstand helped propel them to stardom.
