The Butterfield Blues band - The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967 Elektra)

Steam - Steam (1968 Mercury)

Stoneground - Stoneground (1971 WB)

This Californian band was a part of bigger "The Medicine Ball Caravan" tour. A quite big group of young and free musicians toured America in 1970 keeping concerts in many places and living in tiipees. Stoneground concists of the members of this happening. The music is mainly West Coast rock. Decent. Apart from the voice of the occasional female singer.

Mason Proffit - Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream (1971 Ampex)

Very listenable country rock. CSN&Y with a flavour of Byrds and Grateful Dead. Isn't that something?

Frummox Here To There (1969 Probe)

You find a very nice real life story concerning Frummox behind this link:

Freedom - Freedom (1970 ABC)

Freedom is very good hard blues rock. The Guitarist even cooks up his own riffs. This green plant is free to grow by its own grow how.

Linn County - Proud Flesh Soothseer (1968 Mercury)

Billy Mysner - Same (1973 Grit Records 2001)

Californian psych rock made in Canada. Very nice singer songwriter stuff. This album is one of those one can't understand why it isn't better known.

Mandrill - Just Outside Of Town (1973 Polydor)

Afrikus Retrospectus is a masterpiece of psyckhedelic funk. I have never heard anything like it before and after. Extremely enjoyable piece of eternal sound of mankind. It is not full of anything but full of room and full of all that is needed.

Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes (1970 Dunhill)

Beatles influenced poprock from US. This could be McCartney's solo as well. Even Emitt's voice sounds like Paul's. The album is full of excellent pieces. Worth digging up.

Pan - Pan (1973 CBS)

Quite nice acoustic West-Coast folkrock. I'd not say this is a lost gem but at leats it is a hidden pearl. Anyway this could have come more known through better luck and maybe more effots on marketing. If this is on CD know, I recommend on buying.

The Klowns - Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey ( 1970 RCA)

Moody and tired easylistening pop by a group of session musicians. Nice cover all over. I think this did not sell well and those extra ones were shipped to Finland with a saw cut or drill hole on them.

Guillotine - Guillotine (1971 Ampex)

This is blueshardrock with jazz-prog-psych flavour. The female vocalist sounds a bit like Janis Joplin. I mostly like it but here and there I get a scent of something artificial in her way of singing. Interesting but not much above medicore.

Joe E. (Joey) Covington - Fat Fandango (1973 Grunt)

Joe played drums in Jefferson Airplane on the album Dark. He was also member of Hot Tuna and Peter Kaukonen's Black Kangaroo. This album is a lost gem.

Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger & The Trinity - Open (1968 Atco)

Great, great, graet, great and great. I love this!
