Baker DeCocq "...And Friends" (Mountain Music Company, 1982) (LP)
The Michigan-based duo of Bob DeCocq and Marshell Baker led this small band for about a few years i the early '80s, breaking up around 1984-85... DeCocq had previously been in rootsy groups such as the Houston, Texas's Shake Russell Band, the Country Line Band, and the TNS Blues Band, in the early '70s. Alas, this mostly rings false as "country" material, with more of a tepid, trying-to-sound-slick bar-band rock sound, too much blues, not enough twang, with fairly iffy vocals and lots of gratuitous, tinny electric guitar riffs swirling all over the place. A lot of the twang elements seems a bit forced or exaggerated to me... Worth a spin, I suppose, but not much here that wows me. Oh, well.
