Have you guys seen that black-and-white Youtube Gale Garnett video with Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, I think? I'm assuming it's from Shindig.

"i always see 70s bonnie raitt records in the dollar bins, but i never buy them ... are there any worth getting?"
no offense to bonnie, she seems like a great gal, but her records bore the hell out of me. my dad is a big rory block fan. maybe try her stuff instead. or on the jazz tip, try some emily remler. (not that bonnie is known as some sort of guitar virtuoso. just throwing names out there. i'd rather listen to 70's era ellen McIlwaine records too.)

i have that maggie bell record. that's a good one!
i think i gave my dad all my latter-day tracy nelson records. i still have a couple mother earth records though.

i like gale garnett a ton. i like the early folk/pop stuff as much as her later more 60's/rock-oriented records. she has a bunch of records that i still need to get.

I have a Scopitone of Garnett doing "Small Potatoes." Didn't know she was so earthbound earlier on.

I'll disagree with Scott here and recommend Bonnie Raitt and Give It Up. Also, Scott, there was a Dory Previn feature in last month's Uncut.

I have a couple of really very good Anne Murray LPs. I'm fairly sure she doesn't get hipster love, and it may be that she gets no love at all.
If I love the first Roches LP, will I love the other Roches LPs?
― Tim, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Joan Armatrading getting any love? she's up there with Bonnie in my book. i believe if you like the Roches debut you ought to at least love A Dove, which i own and like lots

the first, like, three roches albums are great.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 16:25 (sixteen years ago) link
me and john d and some others were giving joan some love not that long ago. she had so many great songs. and she's way unhip! "show some emotion" alone, man. what a great song.
i dig anne murray. but then i'm pretty goth.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link
and when i say the first 3 roches albums i'm including *seductive reasoning* which was just maggie and terre as a duo.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 16:31 (sixteen years ago) link
actually, come to think of it, that would be four great albums. *seductive reasoning*, *roches*, *nurds*, and *keep on doing*.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link
even the later albums had some choice songs though. "face down at folk city", "big nuthin", etc.

anybody familiar with the late 1960's Berkeley group Joy of Cooking that was led by two women, Toni Brown and Terry Garthwaite? their debut still holds up for me. Great tunes, and they rock but in a sort of relaxing way on account of piano being the lead instrument

toni brown still makes jam band records. as befits the former editor and publisher of relix magazine. i am not a huge joy of cooking fan, but they definitely had their moments.

That clip is nutso even by Scopitone standards. I can't believe I've never seen it before. And check out the crotch on Lucy Fur.
Not sure if this fits the thread but my fave Scopitone starlet is Joi Lansing.

How about Kathy Dalton (no relation to Karen, as far as I know). She had one LP on Zappa's Discreet label that was re-released a year later with a track change. Little Feat backed her up, with Van Dyke Parks and Carl Wilson guesting. They used to play the song "Cannibal Forest" on my local FM station when I was in high school, and despite not hearing it for over 30 years I can still recall the tune.
Anyone familiar with her, and is the rest of the LP as good as CF?

i picked up a 7" a while back by Heaven & Earth. this is the A side. spaced out femme folk. the B side is a funky number that was on the first Folk is not a Four Letter Word http://www.robotsinheat.com/trax/VoiceInTheWind.mp3
think another track from the LP Refuge was on the Bearded Ladies comp. i'd love to hear the LP, but it's kinda hard to google for.

― whisperineddhurt, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I finally broke down and bought Kay Huntington: What's Happening To Our World? for two bucks (Edd beat me) from a site that had it available for years. And, um, like wow, man! This album has bent my mind back and forth between pleasure/revulsion, joke?/serious?, masterpiece/worst record of all-time, A+/E-, etc. The Mr and I have laughed out loud many, many times (although I think I'm past the "this has GOT to be a joke" stage). First side's got the howlers many of which are packed into the first (and title) song. "Why is there so much SUFfering" a child (presumably) asks daddy and mommy, the SUF signifying a pleading octave leap. Also check out the doomy guitar fill once Little Kay learns that men use guns to kill one another. She pulls weeds and raises corn in "The Right to Poverty" and fires off this couplet in "Git To Git To Heaven": "So go right ahead and blow the whole world up/We'll just git to git to heaven right away."
But the second side's merely bad (although I haven't listened to it as closely). And she's certainly easier to take than Joanna Newsom which means the psych-folk set will probably find her too modest. Nevertheless, if you like your critical faculties all discombobulated, get thee to Ebay now!

I saw a quad copy of that Heaven & Earth lp in a shop recently for 60 bux.
In other news, I found a copy of what I guess is the self-titled debut of "The Joy" (aka what Toni Brown & Terry Grathwaite did after The Joy of Cooking broke up) for a buck and a half. I haven't listened to it yet. It came out on Fantasy. Elvin Bishop & Taj Mahal guest.
