Byrds - Fifth Dimension(Remaster)

In July 1966, the album Fifth Dimension appeared. Except for Gene Clark's swan song, "Eight Miles High," on which all five original Byrds appeared, the album featured the second incarnation of the band, McGuinn, Crosby, Hillman and Clarke. The album was a deliberate departure from the sound and substance of the first two LPs. No Dylan or Seeger songs were in evidence, though four of the songs had roots in folk music. McGuinn and Crosby each began to come into their own as songwriters with this album, and collaborated well together on several numbers.
This is the rematered 1996 CD with 6 bonus tracks.

Meisner/Swan/Rich

Ex-Eagle Randy Meisner, hit writer Billy Swan ('I Can Help') and Charlie Rich,Jr son of the silver fox. A underrated trio with the bare minimum of additional musicians namely Vern Monnett(steel, guitar), John Molo & Mitchell Delevie(drums), David Morgan(piano, organ). Randy ever was my favourite eagle so nice bass playing and vocals can be assumed. Charlie Rich,Jr wrote 6 songs, co-wrote 2 with Billy Swan and sang lead vocals on many of the tracks, too. This unassuming but stunning trio are in the same league as Rice/Hillman/Pederson or Poco and many other true greats of country based rock.

Bad News

I'm sorry to have bad news today. My machine had a headcrash so I had to buy a new disk. I'm underway now to recreate my environment, but this will take great work which will take several weeks. So I'll be online again when the work is done. Till then you can browse the archives to get some older music.

The Hillmen - The Hillmen

Chris Hillman became well known in San Diego's folk music community as a solid player, which garnered him an invitation to join his first band, the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers. When the band broke up at the end of 1963, Hillman received an invitation to join the Golden State Boys, then regarded as the top bluegrass band in Southern California, featuring future country star Vern Gosdin, his brother Rex, and banjoist Don Parnley. Shortly thereafter the band changed its name to The Hillmen, and soon Chris was appearing regularly on television and using a fictitious ID, Chris Hardin, to allow the underage musician into the country bars where many of his gigs were held.

Medicine Head - Medicine Head

Medicine Head formed in Stafford in 1968. The group recorded six albums. They Chart when Pictures in the Sky reached number 22 in 1971. One of their albums was titled Dark Side of the Moon in 1972, released the year before the Pink Floyd album of the same name. If the Medicine Head release had gained attention, Pink Floyd may have had to reconsider the title of their masterwork.
They went through line-up changes with their largely backing personnel, but did achieve a total of four hit singles, the best-known of which are
One and One is One (1973) and Rising Sun (1973). At various times the line-up also included Tony Ashton, formerly of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke, and Keith Relf, the former Yardbirds vocalist.
Two Man Band was their last album, and Medicine Head finally folded in 1977. In 2005 Angel Air released the album Don't Stop The Dance. In effect it was a 'lost' album, compiling some singles from an unsuccessful period and some unreleased sessions with the band as a five piece.
In March 2007 Medicine Head's debut album New Bottles, Old Medicine was re-released on CD by Cherry Red Records.

Desert Rose Band - Running

Their second album Running (1988) featured the John Hiatt-penned hit She Don't Love Nobody, Running, and a remake of Buck Owens' Hello Trouble.
