Thanks, bob.
LeeRob, bob f., rocker, john9, Kula John......anyone......you all familiar with Bradley's Barn by Beau Brummels??!!
This is one of the truly greatest country-rock albums of all time (Appalachian meets acid rock!!). Not sure if it's
on CD, but the vinyl is worth the search. Beautiful cover, too. Nothing like vinyl album art!!
(It was reissued on CD with some new liner notes...read them on line.)
go to Mojo link below (it's the 1968 Mojo album of the week):

| I must've been asleep then because I wasn't aware of this one. I see one listener said it was like Michael Nesmith's stuff. Now that to me means it was probably "eclectic" country, eh? |

The Great Michael Nesmith!
Nesmith is a great comparison, rocker. Eclectic country-folk-rock-baroque. Guitarist Ron Eliot grew up listening to old country records with the idea that the lead & rhythm guitars were played by one guy! So, he learned to play BOTH at
once. He later became a much-in-demand lead guitarist/song writer on many LPs......guitar on Moon Dance for one.
You're not alone in having missed this one, rocker. Most have. But it is definitely worth the listen & the $....it's easy to find on CD. The earlier "Triangle" is considered their masterpiece.....another ground breaker in a mellower, orchestrated folk-country-rock-psych vein........predating FC AND as obscure as LOVE is to most. Bradley's Barn is another masterpiece, & I don't throw that around lightly...for what it's worth

Born To Lose You, was a great Nesmith tune.

Ha, what a difference one letter in a word can make; the song was: Born To LoVe You

Yep! I don't doubt wars have been started over misspellings, or less.
Great tune.

I've always liked Nesmith a lot.....even his tunes for the Monkeys were my favorites. Never collected him.
Which LP would you recommend first, rocker? I was thinking 'Magnetic South' with "joanne"??
I've read that 'And The Hits Just Keep On Coming' with only Nesmith on guitar & Red Rhodes on pedal steel
is his high water mark. Gonna have to look for that one.

If I recall I think I have two other records of his packed away and again I call them "eclectic". As you note he was from the Monkees, a band I knew that had a number of hits (allegedly by critics as America's packaged answer to the Beatles?????). When Nesmith came out with his lp's, it made me realize that personnel in those bands
had their own musical vision which were so different than the one they had succeeded with (and I go that with the Byrds too). In the back of mind was "how can a guy like this make music like that after being in the Monkees, a "popular" group with "hits". |

Been listening to more Pretty Things lately. SF Sorrow & Parachute have always been favorites, but lately
I''ve gotten into Freeway Madness (with some nice steel guitar on one) & Silk Torpedo....pretty damn great too.
Don't care for Cross Talk. Haven't listened to any new stuff though. What they doing now & what are your all time favorites, ever?

THIS IS WAY OUT THERE on my music appreciation list, at least for this site, but I picked up a first press
Tony Bennett six-eye Columbia LP of "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". Pretty smooth. Any one else into
the 50's & 60's era Bennett/Sinatra/Sarah Vaughn etc. heyday?? I was just a kid but it's all deep inside somewhere....

lk, Yes, of course, best voice ever recorded for love songs: Ella Fitzgerald. 'Love Sinatra's ealy stuff - through the 60's. Lou Rawls is a great, genuine L.A. talent who was big always, but especially at the cusp of LOVE's coming on the scene.
I saw Tony Bennett perform at Neil Young's Bridge Show Concert ,a couple of years ago. He was fine; did a duet with Paul McCartney!
