The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


"Ricochet," the Dirt Band's second album, finds the group transitioning from a folky-pysch sound into something a little more rootsy. It's a fun record with a couple of rare Jackson Browne tunes tossed in, but I could've used with a little less kazoo.

Jerry Merrick


Jerry's songs have been recorded by B.J. Thomas, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Susan Tedeschi, but he is best known for writing "Follow," which appeared on the 1967 Richie Havens album "Mixed Bag." Here is his LP from 1968.

The Abstracts


One-off record on Atlantic’s short-lived Pompeii subsidiary. No great work of art, but not without merit.

Chad Mitchell


In which the veteran folkie jettisons his trio and becomes ... himself. If anyone has his "Love, a Feeling Of" album, please put a link in the comments.

Remember Me


So I am a peephole
Into a windowless room
Where the sweat on the tiles
Is the only perfume
On the desk is a diary
And next to it a vase
The rose draws blood
And it drips on the lace

Ray Brown


Aussie Ray came to L.A. in 1967 with high hopes, one would assume. After all, Capitol had just signed him, and studio ace David Axelrod was to be his producer. But despite a $30,000 budget, the album tanked - something about an odd choice of cover songs. Still, this lush little record has its moments. (This is a re-up, by request.)
