In the early 1970s, bluegrass music took off in Canada, especially in southern Ontario. Numerous bluegrass bands got together, like the Dixie Flyers, Haywire, Bruce County, Humphrey & The Dumptrucks, Blue Mule, Bytown Bluegrass, Pulse Creek, Burton County Line and a host of others. I’ve got two LPs by the Humber River Valley Boys, lead by Brian Pickell and Randy Hill.

Based out of Harris, Saskatchewan in the 1970s, Eagle Creek, featuring the husband and wife team of Keith and Nancy Bartlett were joined by the amazing Nova Scotian fiddler Gord Stobbe. As far as I know, they never put out any other records but……I could be wrong! But probably not. This comes off an old CBC Broadcast Record featuring Cathy Fink & Duck Donald, The Ian McDougall Orchestra and Milan Kymlicka Orchestra.

Self Produced, 1968
Recorded by Robin Spurgin at Vancouver Recording Services
Mastered and Pressed at Imperial Record Corp.
This Vancouver band started out in the later part of the 1960s as a joke, with only one guy who could actually play. Over the next year they put together a real band and released One Ring Jane as a single in the US but it wasn’t promoted. That was when they formed their own Duck Records and recorded their first album featuring a re-recorded version of One Ring Jane. Bonded with the San Francisco music scene, the album did rather well considering it didn’t get much airplay. They went on to tour with the Yardbirds, Alice Cooper, opened for Cream and Deep Purple before calling it quits in the early 1970s.

Produced by Gregory Childs, 2020
Recorded by Steve Aylward at Frederick House Audio
Mastered by Phil Demetro at Lacquer Channel, Toronto
Toronto’s Gregory Childs claimed in an interview: “As a group we’re all drawn to raw storytelling. While we respect the pop elements of both classic and contemporary country we want our songs to feel like the mics just happened to be there, with the imperfections, throat pulls and chair squeaks included. We definitely aren’t perfect and we like it that way.”

This was the first ‘Crowbar’ release, the year after ‘Official Music’ with King Biscuit Boy. Steve Kennedy (of Motherlode) played the horns on this cut. Recording engineer Terry Brown would later make his mark recording Rush albums. I remember seeing Rush open for Motherlode (circa 1972) at the Midland (Ontario) Arena.

London
First Produced, 1939
Vera Margaret Welch b. 20 March 1917 East Ham, Essex UK / d. 18 June 2020 (103) Ditchling, East Sussex
Dame Vera Lynn began performing publicly at the age of seven and used her maternal grandmother's maiden name "Lynn" as her stage name.
Her first radio appearance took place in 1935 and has a Toronto / Beatles connection. Ray Sonin was a CFRB Radio broadcaster here in Toronto after emigrating from England in 1957. He did a show called ‘Calling All Britons’ and is credited as being the first North American DJ to air a Beatles recording – Love Me Do in 1962, before the song was released by Capitol Records of Canada the following February.
Ray had been a Melody Maker journalist in the 1930s and as such, is credited with having ‘discovered’ Very Lynn. According to Piers Hemmingsen’s fabulous book, The Beatles in Canada, “Ray was the person who got Very Lynn started with her first radio broadcast at BBC, in 1935. In those days, when music shows were broadcast live, band leader Joe Loss was rehearsing his orchestra shortly before going on air. His female vocalist had not turned up and Joe was becoming frantic as his ‘air time’ approached. At the time, Ray was a BBC scriptwriter and happened to be working late in the studio. When he heard of Joe’s dilemma, he told him there wss a young lady singing at a pub down the street who knew Joe’s repertoire. Joe said he couldn’t put an unknown on radio but Ray, who was recognized as a pop music expert, insisted that she would not let him down. Joe finally agreed so Ray headed off to bring Very Lynn back to the studio” to do the show.

Trying to be a bit more commercial and looking for some kind of a hit, Beefheart used successful hit makers to produce the album with him. The original American release was in a specially-produced clear plastic sleeve. The title Clear Spot was embossed on the front flap, with the record clearly visible inside without a liner. The original concept was for the disc to be of clear vinyl, but this was abandoned due to financial constraints

NYC
Bob Dylan: vocal, harmonica, guitar

Recorded January 15, 1965 at Columbia Recording Studios, NYC
Dylan wrote the song in January, 1965 as he was preparing to record Bringing It All Back Home, recording it the same day as he recorded "Mr. Tambourine Man". Typical of Dylan, he wanted to record the song before he became too familiar with it.
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" has been covered by a variety of artists, including Joan Baez, Bryan Ferry, the Seldom Scene, Them (also by Van Morrison as a solo artist), the Byrds, the Animals, the Chocolate Watchband, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithfull, Falco, the 13th Floor Elevators, the Grateful Dead, Hugh Masekela, Echo and the Bunnymen and Bad Religion. The Byrds recorded the song twice in 1965 as a possible follow up single to "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "All I Really Want to Do", but neither recording was released. The Byrds did release a 1969 recording of the song on their Ballad of Easy Rider album.

Acoustic Music to Suit Most Occasions, released in 1988, was named National Public Radio's “record of the year”.

Cindy Walker 1918-2006
Only two original Byrds left! This amazing country album was recorded after drummer Mike Clark & guitarist David Crosby had just left the band, replaced by Kevin Kelly & Gram Parsons. Bass player Chris Hillman would leave the band shortly to form the Flying Burrito Brothers with Mike Clark and Gram Parsons. This was the most ground breaking of rock albums which penetrated deeply into country music, hated by Nashvillites and poopooed by rockers who thought it was crap.

Produced by Ed Michel and Joe Zagarino, 1971
Recorded by Joe Zagarino at Olympic and Command
Studios, London; The Village Recorder and The
Record Plant, LA; The Hit Factory, NYC
This was from one of those ‘bring a bluesman to England and record him with British blues stars’ albums. Howlin’ Wolf also made one. So did Sonny Boy Williamson and Eddy Boyd. Wolf hated his London album; Ringo Starr walked out of the studio and didn’t come back. So is the album any good? Well let’s put it this way: there are a lot of BB King albums out there so there’s really no need to listen to a bunch (the list is a mile long) of songs backed by white blues rockers. These were crass albums to sell records and nothing more.

Produced by George Martin, 1967
Recorded at EMI Studios, London Sept / Oct 1967
This was different! The song was named after a street in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles where Harrison stayed in August 1967. The song features only western instruments capturing the sounds of India nicely. The Beatles were just coming out of their psychedelic period and used just about every contraption Abby Road studios had to offer to colour up the sound. Such studio overkill was also used on Strawberry Fields and I Am A Walrus, recorded that same year.

Crystal Gayle (born Brenda Gail Webb; January 9, 1951 Paintsville, Kentucky) is the youngest sister of Country star Loretta Lynn (b. 1932). Gayle became the first female artist in country music history to reach platinum sales, with her 1977 album We Must Believe in Magic. This song is perfect in every way: great writing, great production, great performance, great singing, great arrangement, and mood. Very inviting, like brown eyes singing in the rain.

Produced by Gus Dudgeon and Gerry Bron, 1968
The 1968 album ‘Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse’ was released as Urban Spaceman in the US and Canada by The Bonzo Dog Band. The phrase "the doughnut in granny's greenhouse" is obscure British slang for the lavatory.
Originally called The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, the Bonzos came to the public attention through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set. The band was officially formed on 25 September 1962 after several members bonded after listening to the Sonny Liston / Floyd Patterson championship boxing match. Their hit song, I’m The Urban Spaceman, was co-produced by Gus Dudgeon and Paul McCartney.

"When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again" is a song written by Wiley Walker and Gene Sullivan in 1940. They first recorded it in 1941. Wella wella Elvis sang this on his last appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show Jan 6, 1957 before around 50 million people. To me it’s the quintessential ‘Elvis’ sound.
