 In 1975 Sandy Creek Pickers was formed with band members John, Mike, Steve Heironymus and Kevin Avey. The “Pickers” toured much of the US and enjoyed considerable success at bluegrass festivals. John loved to recall the time Bill Monroe entered and danced on the stage as the Sandy Creek Pickers played at the Rocky Mountain Bluegrass Festival. Recored 1 & 2 March 1977 Sound Recorders Omaha, Nebraska. RIP JOHN

BUCK BARKER - ROCKIN' ALL NITE LONG (USA '79 PSYCH FOLK BLUES)

Rare private label Tennessee folk-rock. Buck recorded everything himself, overdubbing guitar, vocals, bass, drums, and sometimes banjo and string synthesizer. There's a real outsider vibe, with a strong influence from the psychedelic rock scene. The songs have unusual structures and lyrical themes and really draw you into the unusual viewpoint of the singer. A lot of the performances are right on the edge of falling apart structurally, with strange and unexpected guitar riffs and extra beats showing up in the middle of a song.

BACK PORCH BOOGIE BAND - CRANKIN' UP ! (USA '81 COUNTRY ROCK)

 Back Porch Boogie Band "Crankin' Up!" (Southern Star Records, 1981-?) (LP)
(Produced by Bill Hunter, Joe Spivey & D. W. McKnight)
A down-home twang band from Shreveport, Louisiana, featuring Roland Hall and Jim Buckelew on vocals and guitar, along with bassist Rick Hagler and Kerry Hunter on drums Dunno exactly when this one came out, but it must have been some time before they (temporarily) broke up in 1982... The group reformed (several times) has been together for years, well into the 2010s, and has self-released a CD or two in their time.

DANNY HOLIEN - SELF TITLE (USA '71 PSYCH FOLK COUNTRY ROCK)

 In 1971, Larry Ray and Bill Szymczyk fled L.A. to found their own label in Denver, Colorado. This label, Tumbleweed Records, had started well, with a fairly substantial fundraising effort from Gulf + Western, whose executives believed the label would produce the next hippie icon. But instead of finding the next Hendrix or the next Janis Joplin, Ray and Szymczyk turned to figures more iconoclastic than iconic: Pete McCabe, the melodic singers Robb Kunkel and Danny Holien, and the psych-folk rocker Arthur Gee.

WAKEFIELD - SELF TITLE (USA '85 HARD ROCK AOR)

 WAKEFIELD was one of these US bands that despite its quality never got a recording contract with a major label, but mostly due to their location. Formed in the mid-Seventies in South Dakota, Wakefield was a popular act in the area playing venues from Canada to Kansas, and Colorado to Illinois.
When they recorded this, their self-titled LP released on a small private label, Wakefield were offered to distribute the album nationally with the condition to tour nation-wide to support it. At the time all band members got a family firmly established in South Dakota, so the potential opportunity for major exposure was declined. THANKS hardrockaorheaven.blogspot.com

CASHMAN VAQUERO BAND - IN MEMORY OF BERRY OAKLEY (USA '79 PSYCH BLUES JAZZY)

 Vaquero means "cowboy" from its Spanish translation. Band leader Doug Cashman chose the name at whim, with no particular meaning attached to it. He and bass player Ron Sadus were close friends of Ray (Berry) Oakley, and formed a seminal garage band together in Park Forest, IL in 1963. Oakley later took his guitar skills south to Florida in the late 60's, eventually hooking up with the Allman Bros, and succumbing to head injuries from a motorcycle accident in 1972. Sadus also passed away, he while recording this album, in 1979. Anyone expecting this to be an Allman's tribute album will be off the mark, though they still shouldn't be disappointed. It's musically very diverse and rather light, semi-commercial rock with some light jazz elements included. There are several instrumentals mixed in with the pleasant vocal tracks. Everything is bolstered with solid guitar provided by Cashman and guest guitarists. Though there are numerous styles present, all seem to flow well together, even the somewhat out of place pedal steel driven "Drivin' Me Crazy", the only outright country track on here. I don't think many would consider this essential by any stretch, and it's reputation among the psychedelic rock set is a mystery. But anyone seeking a solidly entertaining and yet highly obscure offering should dig these grooves. Thanks RYM
