THE MIDNITE SPECIAL - MIDNITE SPECIAL (USA '81 COUNTRY ROCK)

 The Midnite Special "The Midnite Special" (Dave Kennedy Recording Studios, 1981) 

An outlaw-ish band from Wisconsin, possibly from Racine or Milwaukee, featuring Mike Baker (lead vocals, lead guitar), Jeff Benner (rhythm guitar), Tom Hanson (bass), and John Johnson on drums... The repertoire includes plenty of 'Seventies classics, stuff from Willie, Waylon, JJ Cale and Charlie Daniels ("The South’s Gonna Do It Again," of course...) There's also an early Rodney Crowell song(!) giving them some contemporary hipster cred, though this is balanced by (groan) yet another cover of the ever-dreadful "You Gave Me A Mountain," a hammy ballad that just wouldn't die. Minimal liner notes, though the band also thanks Bob Rohner and Wally Schultz ("...and our friends at "Oh Johnnys") so there are a few breadcrumbs.

BAKER DECOCQ AND FRIENDS - SELF TITLE (USA '82 COUNTRY ROCK)

 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.

LUCKY PIERRE - You Got to Go Low to Get Low (USA '79 Hard Country Rock)

 You Got to Go Low to Get Low is a 1979 album by American rock band Lucky Pierre, known for blending country rock, blues, and hard rock in a style that reflects the grit and soul of late ‘70s rock music. Released under the First American label, this album showcases Lucky Pierre’s versatility and knack for storytelling through songs that mix raw emotion with energetic instrumentation. The album remains a hidden gem for fans of classic rock, capturing a unique fusion of influences from Southern rock, blues, and even a touch of honky-tonk

COUNTRY LEGEND BAND - DEADLINES (USA '81 COUNTRY ROCK)

 The Country Legend Band "Deadlines" (Blue Ash Records, 1981) (LP)

(Produced by Bob Lowe)

Not a lot of info on these guys... The group included John Dalyrimple (lead guitar, keyboards), Steve Quinn (guitars), Tim Quinn (bass), and Mike Tolliver on percussion... They were from a cluster of small towns east of Columbus, Ohio -- Crooksville, Roseville and Somerset -- though the sessions were recorded in town at Kingsmill Studios. Though they had the rural-sounding band name and wore big, old cowboy hats and 'Seventies-style fringe jackets, apparently the band later mostly played classic rock at their live gigs.

THE DAISY DILLMAN BAND - Daisy Dillman Band (USA '78 SOUTHERN COUNTRY ROCK)

 The Daisy Dillman Band "The Daisy Dillman Band" (United Artists, 1978) (LP)

(Produced by John Pete)

An exemplary hippie twang album by one of the handful of regional DIY bands to score a nationwide, major label contract in the late '70s. Formed in 1976, this Minnesota-based band named jokingly themselves after their bassist's great-grandmother, Daisy Ellen Dillman -- the name stuck and they built up a solid regional following which led to this album, as well as various gigs opening for folks such as Jerry Jeff Walker, Asleep At The Wheel and The Amazing Rhythm Aces (who all get shout-outs on the liner notes...) This album is a very strong recording, blending Poco-delic longhair twang with Marshall Tucker-esque Southern-pop, made even more impressive for the wealth of original material and the fact that the band really played all the music itself -- no Nashville superpickers called into the studio for this one! I remember hearing these guys, or at least hearing their name a lot, on the late, lamented, legendary KFAT radio station in the late '70s, though listening back to the album, I have to say none of the tracks stand out as "the hit" -- some of those KFAT classics stick with you, but I guess some don't. Still, it's a pretty solid record, and if you're looking into '70s longhair country and Southern rock, you don't want to miss this one!

VERNON WRAY - WASTED (USA '72 COUNTRY FOLK ROCK)

 Vernon Wray "Wasted" (Vermillion Records, 1972) (LP)

A stunning ultra-indie release from Vernon Wray (1924-1979) the older brother of rock guitar pioneer Link Wray. In the early 1970s Vernon Wray dropped out for a while and moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he recorded and self-released two intense and deeply personal albums. The first record, Wasted, was originally only pressed in a few hundred copies, which he sold at local gigs. It's a remarkable album, and a real find for hardcore fans of hippie-era country, with Wray (backed by his brothers) churning through mournful, contemplative, moody folk and tough, rugged country gems -- it's a real outsider-art album, and a compelling, cohesive statement by an artist with a truly singular vision. There's little of the brash, post-rockabilly proto-grunge of the Wraymen recordings, though the same level of intensity is there, just in a seemingly quieter mode. Highly recommended
