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!

Sky Saxon Blues Band - A Full Spoon Of Seedy Blues (1967 Crescendo)

Sky Saxon's first album issued in 1967. Sky was later one those who formed psychedelic garage punk band The Seeds.

Country Joe McDonald - War War War (1971 Vanguard)

Joe McDonald composed the music and the poems are by Robert Service. The poems are stories from the World War I. I don't know.. This is the second time I listen to this and I have to say it does not make me too impressed. Maybe I need more time...

The Glitterhouse - Color Blind (1968 Dynovoice))

High quality psychedelic pop from NY. The openin piece "Tinkerbells Mind" reached Top 50 of NY in 1968. One of my favourite keyboardists Moogy Klingman plays on this. He became later better known playing in Todd Rundgre's Utopia. I can't praise this too much. I think if this was issued on West Coast, it woul be be known now. A little lost pearl.

The Illusion - Together (As A Way Of Life) (1969 Steed)

Excellent heavy psychedelic bluesy rock from Long Island New York. I enjoy very much listening to this kind of american sound. Some Zeppelin-kind of playing is to be heard too. This one is very worth digging up if it were available on CD.

Sand - Sand (1973 MGM Barnaby)

This is a quite rare album. It is a double album but there is music only on the one side of each discs. The music is well produced country-pop ala Poco and Eagles. Some may here eagles and CSN&Y too. The voice of the vocalist's is very nice anyway, maybe a bit like Steve Still's. Good feeling music.

Sundowners - Captain Nemo (1968 Decca)

Sundowners started their career already in 1959n in Lake Georgia, New York. The music is light psychedelic and sunshine. This album is their one and only which did not sell too well. Some like this a lot and it is is some kind of rarity among collectors and those who really like this. The music is occasionally like Beatles by American accent. I post in here albums I like and this really is one of them. If you like to know more about The Sundowners, please go to allmusic.com.
