Jeff Beck Group - Beck-Ola

1969

Very similar to Led Zeppelin. Except this is more stiff and white sounding. Good record with good players. I wish it was more balls out.

Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet

1968

The first one where things really start getting good.

You could throw this one on before Led Zeppelin III at your next record party.

Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On

1969

Laid back loose vibe of awesomeness in Led Zeppelin III/Mellow Pink Floyd territory. Great record. I love it.

Ladies W.C. - Ladies W.C.

1969

Garagey tunes meets SF hippy band from 1969. I think these guys are from Venezuela. They get some bluesy harmonica/guitar interplay going sometimes. You might think of The Who or Cream too.They mix in a few different sounds here all the while your waiting for them to bust out G.L.O.R.I.A.

The Smack - Smack

1967

This recording from 1968 is a bunch of Hendrix and Cream type covers. Maybe the best cover of Purple Haze I've heard. They give the covers their own personality a couple of the songs sound like they're 3/4 speed or something. Interesting stuff, but hardly essential.

Procol Harum - A Salty Dog

1969

Been diggin' this one quite a bit lately. Background tunes for old people.

Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues

1965

Awesomeness!

Morgen - Morgen

1969

Killer Garage Psyche. This has been getting lots of play around here lately. Awesome record.

Dragonfly - Dragonfly

1968

Blue Cheer inspired psyche with touches of The Who here and there. Bluesy fuzzed out guitar rockin'. Killer stuff.

Lalo Shifrin - Bullit OST

1968

Jazzy Funky 70's gameshow vibe. Smooth.

Chuck Berry - St. Louis to Liverpool

1964

Lots of catchy toe tappin'. Good singing and good guitar rockin' in a 50's style, but the Rolling Stones, Beatles and Beach Boys may all come to mind at certain points during this record. Pretty cool record for 1964 and I'm guessing he's doing a bunch of stuff he came up with in the 50's.

Bobby "Blue" Bland - Two Steps Away From The Blues

1961

Killer blend of Blues, Soul and some other stuff I don't know much about, but I know what I like.

Followed it up in tonights listening party with these two.

Charlie Musselwhite's South Side Band - Stand Back Here Comes

Groovy blues similar to early Bluesbreakes.

The Vanguard Records release brought Musselwhite to notability among blues musicians and also helped bridge the gap between blues and rock and roll, musically and in marketing.- Wikipedia

The Move - The Move

Good stuff, 60's psychedelic pop rock.

Mount Rushmore - High On Mount Rushmore

Bluesy hard rock with psyche guitar. Big Brother and the Holding Company, Blue Cheer, Cream territory here, but second level.

Nazz - Nazz Nazz

Power Pop..is this the first ever power pop band.

Catchy mostly up tempo numbers. More than just that...solid record.

There's a rocker on here too. There's a bluesy rock out song. There's some smoking guitar playing on a few songs.

This is their second album. Todd Rungren was in this band and wanted to get more experimental. The rest of the band wanted to stick to a pop sound. Rungren left the band after this record was finished.
I thought these guys were from England, but they're from Philadelphia.

Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons

Transition record for the Stones. They must have been running out of R&B songs to cover. This isn't quite psychedelic yet. Some non rock instruments going on as well as piano. All these songs are in the same zone and it's a unique one.

Mike Bloomfield - It's Not Killing Me

Mostly mello Chicago style blues. Early on the album there's a couple country tinged tunes that remind me of the way the Stones do country. I wish this album had more songs in the country vein. Unfortunately it's most;y crap that reminds me of an old Eric Clapton.

Buddy Miles - Expressway To Your Skull

Rock and Soul blended to near perfection. Awesome horns killer guitar...groovin' tunes.

Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan

The last of his early acoustic/folk albums. Mostly just guitar and harmonica. Piano on one song. Cool stuff,probably not the best of the early albums, but not that much different. It's all about listening to the lyrics...you can still figure out what he's talking about sometimes. Not really, you can understand the words though.

-Recorded in a day.
