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 Band, circa 1982-86.

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.
