CRAZYVILLE - LIFE IS JUST A CARNIVAL (USA '79 Country Rock)

 A Texas country-rock outing featuring the work of songwriter Leon Turner, Jr., with backing that included bass player Ronnie Leatherman, a founding member of the legendary psychedelic rock band 13th Floor Elevators, as well as guitarist Terry Penney and drummer Bobby Rector, who both also played in a later editions of the Elevators. Also on board are drummer Pete Davis and guitar picker Steve Yeargan... The album was recorded at Loma Ranch studios in Fredericksburg, Texas, where both Blaze Foley and Nanci Griffith recorded some of their stuff(!). Terry Penney (1947-2007) was a Kerrville native who played in some Austin-area bands including JellyRoll and others; he and his wife tragically died in an auto accident caused by a head-on collision with a drunk driver, as they were coming home from one of their gigs. As far as I know, this was Crazyville Hill's only record, and Leon Turner's career is a bit opaque as well...

ALEX HARVEY - SOUVENIRS (Usa '72 Country Blues Gospel)

 Do not confuse with Alex Harvey band, a splendid album for me listen to "Eva And The Evangelist

Alex Harvey originally hailed from Brownsville, Tennessee where he was born in 1945. The rural upbringing still rings true with a slap of reality that strikes the listener through his lyrics. He can at least claim an ‘ethnic’ birthplace, none of your coming in from the West Coast to play at hillbillies. Harvey is decidedly rooted in country music, having grown up in the south hearing both country and fock’n’roll and some blues and gospel which has given his music a strange hybrid that is both soulful and country styled.
