GLADSTONE - FROM DOWN HOME IN TYLER, TEXAS (USA '72 SOUTHERN COUNTRY ROCK)

 A soft-sounding Southern rock set, with a healthy undercurrent of twang. This band was a rainmaker project for producers Robin Hood Brians and Randy Fouts, whose Brians Studio was a focal point for local artists in and around Tyler, Texas. Apparently this record was released twice, the first time with the Tyler Texas title, and then again, with different album art as just plain old "Gladstone." They had an almost-Top 40 single with "A Piece Of Paper," but the mojo wasn't quite there for mainstream success... Apparently Mike Rabon, formerly of the pop band The Five Americans, was hooked up with this band, after his earlier country-rock efforts with the band Choctaw, though after this he bailed on the music business and went back to school.

APPALOOSA - MORNING RISER (USA '80 COUNTRY ROCK)

A country-rock band from Champaign, Illinois... Despite the evocative, rural-sounding band name these guys do set off a few it-was-the-'Seventies-man warning bells, mostly the presence of congas, flute, recorder and saxophone, none of which should be on a country record.

CHUCK MCDERMOTT & WHEATSTRAW - FOLLOW THE MUSIC (USA '77 COUNTRY ROCK)

DICK DESTINY & THE HIGHWAY KINGS - ARROGANCE (USA '86 HARD BLUES ROCK GARAGE)

 Rock’n’blues reigns supreme here, helped along by nasty, satiric lyrics and a gritty guitar sound. Perhaps accidentally, punkiness shines through a handful of tracks (like “Jealous”), though the primary impression this LP leaves is that of a cool, fun bar band. A good release.

KING PEACH - FAIR WARNING (USA '80 SOUTHERN HARD ROCK) Wav Files

He story of King Peach (not to be confused with the young Florida-based indie rock band formed in 2018) dates back to the late 1970s. It was a short-lived American rock band that made its mark on the Southern rock and hard rock scenes at the turn of the decade .Unlike many bands of the raw that featured a single frontman, King Peach stood out by sharing lead vocal duties among Copeland, McCutchen, and Haynes, bringing rich harmonies to their tracks. Their music fused the raw energy of hard rock with the melodic structures and grooves of Southern rock.

BLUE JUG - BLUE JUG BAND (USA '78 SOUTHERN ROCK)

 These funky Southern rockers sounded a LOT like The Band though maybe they stuck more to deep-groove Southern funk.  Different album, still good.
