A FOOT IN COLDWATER – A Foot In Coldwater (First Album Can '72 Hard Rock)

A Foot in Coldwater is a Canadian rock band initially composed of Alex Machin (vocals), Bob Horne (keyboard), Paul Naumann (guitar), Danny Taylor (drums), and Hughie Leggat (bass and vocals). It is best known for the song "(Make Me Do) Anything You Want" which was a Canadian hit single in 1972 and again in 1974. A Foot in Coldwater was formed in Toronto in 1970 from three bands. Leggat, Taylor, and Horne had been members of Nucleus, and the Lords of London. Machin and Naumann were in the band Island. Together, they signed with Daffodil Records, which coined the group's name.

CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN BOYS - ROCK THE MOUNTAIN (USA '85 SOUTHERN COUNTRY ROCK)

 Catoctin Mountain Boys "Rock The Mountain" (Stonehouse Records, 1985) (LP)

(Produced by Rick Hannon)

An album of all-original material from an indie twangband out of Smithsburg, Maryland... The group included bassist Bob Brown, Joe Brown on rhythm guitar, Gordon Connor (drums), Shane Swope (mandolin), and Dave Lingg playing lead guitar... Lingg was the bands primary songwriter, penning all the songs on Side One, while Side Two has a mix of composers including Joe Brown and others, and seems to be all original material as well. Songs include tunes like "Cowboys Never Cry," "Rock The Mountain" and "One Heartbreak Short Of Love" -- a lot of songs about love and heartbreak, actually, doubtless capturing the songwriters at a certain stage in life... Not a ton of info about these guys online, though the band seems to have kept together over the years and was doing local shows in the 2010's, with basically the same lineup along with a new member or two. This appears to be their only album, but ya never know, right?

THE BATTLE CREEK BOYS - BATTLE CREEK BREAKDOWN (USA '78 COUNTRY ROCK)

 The Battle Creek Boys "Battle Creek Breakdown" (Battle Creek Boys, 1978) (LP)

(Produced by The Battle Creek Boys & Nick Melnick)

A band from Minneapolis, performing mostly covers, including some Hank Williams, Bob McDill's "Amanda," Paul Siebel's "She Made Me Lose My Blues" and a couple of old Sons Of The Pioneers tunes. The lineup included Stephen P. Kocka (pedal steel), Thomas A. Kocka (lead vocals and bass), James E. Gaboury (lead vocals and guitar), Robert P. Gaboury (guitar, banjo and lead vocals), James R. ("Henk") Henkemeyer (percussion), with Robert Gaboury contributing a pair of original songs, "Country Rockin' Night" and "Battle Creek Breakdown." Not sure what became of the various brothers, but "Henk" Henkemeyer kept playing in locals bands, and later recorded a couple of albums with The SALT CREEK BAND, circa 1982-86.

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.
