BUCKY AND BARRY - VOL.3 (USA '80 SOUTHERN BAR ROCK)

                                           REPOST ON REQUEST

K-COUNTY COUNTRY BAND - SELF TITLE (USA '77 COUNTRY)

The K County Country Band "K County Country Band" (Sound House Records, 1977-?) (LP)

(Produced by Ron Huisings & The K County Country Band)

I guess that would be Kandiyohi County, in central Minnesota, where these fellas were from... They pay homage to their home in songs such as "First Street Bridge" and "Kandiyohi Rag," along with some Merle Haggard tunes, and a few slightly off-center covers such as John Hartford's "They're Gonna Tear Down The Grand Ole Opry," as well as "I Miss A Lot Of Trains" and "The Year Clayton Delaney Died," both by Tom T. Hall. Dan Bates was the band's main guitarist, and Bob Ohman (1932-2008) was their singer, while banjo plunker Neil Nyhus and bassist Don Wickstrom wrote the songs, with the group's drummer, Robert Drogousch keeping the beat. As far as I know this was their only album, though Ohman's obituary mentioned that he had made "a couple of records," so there may be more.

DOC HOLLIDAY - COUNTRY DOC HOLLIDAY (Cayton USA '78 COUNTRY ROCK) IN ANONYMOUS REQUEST


 Whoever the unnamed studio crew included, they did a good job, and even though many of these songs were basically little more than circular choruses, they musicians came up with decent grooves, and their arrangements hover near the edge of sounding radio friendly. 

DOC HOLLYDAY - SELF TITLE (Metromedia) - Usa '73 (Southern Psych Blues Rock) IN ANONYMOUS REQUEST


 Musically, this Doc Holliday is sorely overlooked and deserves an official CD release. A late psychedelic gem with special effects, backwards guitars, echoes, surrealistic vocals and that omnipresent mysterious vibe. Knock out killer psychedelic guitar madness with "Fix Me", "Captain Cooke" and especially "Messiah Song". Nobody talks about this band. How could they have gone off the radar? They remind me of Free just a little bit, but with more guitar fireworks if that's possible.

CANYON - SELF TITLE (GER '78 COUNTRY ROCK)

 Canyon "Canyon" (Nature Records, 1978) (LP)
(Produced by Gerhard Kampfe)

A German band with fluid boundaries between country and rock, though with a definite country direction... The trio included Manfred Wetterich (guitar), Wolfgang Ronsch (guitar, mandolin) and Achim Dresch (keyboards and harmonica) with additional backing by a slew of musicians, ranging from trumpets to pedal steel. Songs include "Brother Hobo," "Cowboy Song," "Don't Join A Rock'N'Roll Band" and a cover of the Beatles' "I've Just Seen A Face." An earlier iteration of this band cut an album under in 1976 the name Itcheyfoot, as a more modest, bluegrass-y trio.

DENNIS ROSS & AXBERG BROTHERS BAND - SELF TITLE (USA '80 SOUTHERN COUNTRY ROCK)


 Dennis Ross & The Axberg Brothers Band "Dennis Ross And The Axberg Brothers Band" (1980) 
An iconic, hard-working roadhouse band from Lubbock, Texas, with a tough mix of rock, blues and twang. The three principal members -- bassist Jim Axberg, drummer John Claude Axberg and singer Dennis Ross -- have worked together for decades, including this album from the late '70s (or early '80s?). The disc is packed with original material -- although John Claude Axberg and Dennis Ross trade off on lead vocals, Ross takes the spotlight here as the primary songwriter, penning eight out of eleven tracks. Jim and John Axberg each contribute one song, with the last one coming from Wright Waldrop, who was not a member of the band. The group was rounded out, though, with lead and slide guitar player Daniel Elzner who is awkwardly given a side credit on the album cover and inner label. It's worth noting that the Axberg brothers had a long history on the Texas rock scene, originally forming in a 'Sixties garage band called The Only Ones, which recorded a few tunes that have been reissued elsewhere.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SURPRISE - SALT CREEK BAND - BARN DANCIN' (USA '85 COUNTRY ROCK)

 


The Salt Creek Band "Barn Dancin' " (CBO Records, 1986) (LP)
(Produced by Ben Ewings & Steven Chandler)

This edition of the band was still a four-piece, but with a big change in lineup: Chris Thomas Becker (guitars, piano, pedal steel), James "Henk" Henkemeyer (drums and vibraphone), Dave Hutcheson (bass), Shawn O'Neill (fiddle, guitars, harmonica), with special mention below going to keyboardist Bob Blackford and Sam Mineer on banjo... Looks like all-original material, with tunes like "Best Of Two Evils," "Split Decision" and "Tennessee TNT."
