DOUG SHAM (RIP) & THE SIR DOUGLAS QUINTET
GREAT ! GREAT! ARTIST!
Douglas Wayne Sahm (November 6, 1941 – November 18, 1999), was a musician from Texas. Born in San Antonio, Texas, he was a child prodigy in country music, but became a significant figure in blues, rock and other genres. Today Sahm is considered one of the most important figures in what is identified as Tejano music. He was the founder and leader of the 1960s rock and roll band the Sir Douglas Quintet, and later with Augie Meyers, Freddy Fender and Flaco Jimenez in The Texas Tornados, and also in Los Super Seven supergroup.

"Mendocino"....great song but we can thank Sir Doug's hit for the loss of innocence and population explosion in the idyllic community that was home to hippie rockers & back to the earth flower children .... Gene Clark lived a quiet life there with his wife and children away from the LA drug culture and hangers-on....writing NO OTHER.

Oh yeah!
But then I already have moved on to Pap Nez....so much music so little time!
Robert Michael Nesmith (born December 30, 1942) is an American musician, songwriter, actor, producer, novelist, businessman, and philanthropist, best known as a member of the musical group The Monkees and star of the TV series of the same name. Nesmith is notable as a songwriter, including "Different Drum" sung by Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poneys, as well as executive producer of the cult film Repo Man. In 1981 Nesmith won the first Grammy Award given for Video of the Year for his hour-long Elephant Parts.
The original Space Cowboy in my mind!

Eldorado To The Moon...love this video from Michael

I have most of Papa Nez on vinyl including the obscure vinyl box promo..."THE PRISON"
The Prison - A Book With A Soundtrack (or simply The Prison) is Michael Nesmith's seventh solo album of his post-Monkees career and his first to be released under his own record label, Pacific Arts. It includes a novella meant to be read while listening to the album as its "soundtrack". In 1994 Nesmith recorded a companion novella/album entitled The Garden. According to Nesmith's website (Videoranch), a third instalment is in development; however, no date has been listed for the release[1]
The Prison and The Garden were re-released together on CD in 2004 by Video Ranch.
Critical reception
Allmusic called The Prison "a brilliant multimedia concept marrying the personal and inner visual experience of Michael "Papa Nez" Nesmith's novella with the aural medium of an equally original soundtrack." Robert Christgau called it a "ghastly boxed audio-allegory-with-book."[2]

I love the music but is it just me?.....does anyone else wish they would have dropped that annoying guy making that background jug noise that invades much of their music?

| I'm not as up on just where differnt American bands are from.The only poeple I can definitely cite as Texans are Buddy Holly and am I correct here naming Stevie Ray Vaughn?When I was a kid,I used to think many of my favorite sixties artists were from LA,but found out many were actually from the Village in New York.(John Sebastian,Mamas and Papas,etc.)Then I thought Dylan WAS from the Apple and found out he hailed from Minnesota(of ALL places).I think I generally associate the Lone Star state more with country.But keep these postings coming and I'll tune in next time I remember to bring my frigen earbuds to the library! |

LAMB & Barbara Mauritz
Texas born & raised, but Haight Ashbury found...60's rock jazz soul psych...
Review
Lamb's second album used some far more conventional elements of electric rock production than their starker debut had, which in some ways made this follow-up more mainstream and less striking. On the other hand, the songs themselves were more eclectic, and complemented well by the greater textural depth of the arrangements. Most importantly, the songwriting continued to be as inspired and unusual as it had been on A Sign of Change, and only slightly less abstract, again mixing jazz, folk, impressionistic singer/songwriter rock, gospel, and classical, though in different proportions. Barbara Mauritz's singing continued to be mighty impressive, as sort of a more hushed and nuanced spin on the uninhibited woman rock singers coming to the fore in Californian rock, though with as much bluesy soul. "I'll spin a web of visions with the spider of my mind" she sings on "While Waiting," which is a pretty good indicator of the sort of oblique lyrics that permeate the record. Some of the material sounds decidedly happier than the more haunting tunes of A Sign of Change, approaching earthy country-rock on "Flying" (by far the most normal and accessible song on either of Lamb's first two albums). Gospel asserted itself as more of an influence, too, on cuts like the title track and "Reach High," though the lyrics were far more stream-of-consciousness in their wordplay than they were in mainstream gospel, and the orchestration backing the piano possessed an almost classical ingenuity likewise uncommon in most gospel arrangements. If you wanted some of the more intriguing strangeness of the hauntingly dreaming yet biting jazz-folk of the first album, that was here too, particularly in "Sleepwalkers." Other songs, like "Ku," sound almost like the classically-influenced art song territory explored by Judy Collins in some of her late-'60s and early-'70s albums, though with more sensuality in the vocals. David Ackles might be another reference point in how the material and arrangements of some of the more ambitious tracks are, in some ways, more closely tied to classical and theatrical music than to rock, though this was ultimately targeted toward the singer/songwriter audience. Something like "Now's Not the Time," however, isn't easily comparable to anything, coming off like a mix of Native American incantational music with blues-gospel-rock. Like A Sign of Change, Cross Between is highly idiosyncratic yet rewarding music of considerable experimental integrity, and has mysteriously eluded rediscovery and cult recognition. Richie Unterberger
Unfortunately not much if any from LAMB for you all to hear....the studio recordings are qute amazing!
This from Fillmore...she really can rock!!...isn't it just a beautiful day!
