"cat walk" by village soul choir from 45
a serious strutter. from 1970, some killer slow burn soul/funk. one hit wonder outta nyc i believe. props to WMBR outta cambridge, mass and especially their killer "lost and found" program (every weekday at noon eastern) for hipping me to this treat.

"through a window" by euphoria from a gift from euphoria
recording this album must have been an expensive and glorious mess. done in london, los angeles and at bradley's barn which i guess makes sense as it alternates from orchestral pop, to folk-rock shredders, to straight up hippie country. from 1969. TOTD.

"apartment twenty-one" by john buck wilkin from in search of food, clothing, shelter and sex
dude is heavily featured on "the american dreamer" soundtrack which, apparently, is a doc of dennis hopper working on "the last movie" and fucking and smoking at some commune in the southwest. he then went to make this one spotty but rad downer orchestral country pop thing. and his mom wrote "long black veil," so there's that. apartment twenty-one.

"ain't what you eat but the way how you chew it" by delbert and glen from s/t
mr. mcclinton and some dude named glen clark who, from what i can tell, disappeared after this and the next lp (72 and 73 respectively). funky, swampy, country blues that rips. plus best song title in forever. ain't what you eat but the way how you chew it.

"my thoughts" by high mountain hoedown from s/t
finally got around to setting up my tascam cd-rw900 and i'm loving it. this is some 1970 country-soul-rock gem that an other music cat hipped me to. apparently the songwriter is this dude but that's info from some old ebay auction and isn't verified anywhere else on the web. regardless this is a real gem of a record somewhere between terry reid and the band. my thoughts.

"rule of mind" by 9th creation from falling in love
heavily sampled (pete rock and cl smooth, black moon, 3rd bass) record from 75, i think. love the flute and rhodes. so smooth.

"exhumation folklorique" by demba camara et son groupe from discotheque 70
aside from the stellar antenna farm records showcase (apologies for the self-promotion), the record swap and breakaway records out on the east side were definitely the best things about this year's trip to sxsw. record shopping is really the only legit reason i would ever have for moving out of the bay area. it is fucking bonkers what i find when i get out of town. this puppy was courtesy of the euclid records (st. louis) stand at the swap and it hasn't left the office turntable since. sterns in france has been blowing minds of late with their syliphone records (outta guinee) reishes, this is the first of that label's annual comps that went from 70-76 i believe. exhumation folklorique.

"runnin' down to memphis" by eggs over easy from good 'n' cheap
reading this history of pub-rock (thanks hamburger) written by the dude from kursaal flyers and the records, and just got to the point where eggs over easy (an american band who supposedly sparked the whole movement) get to the uk. never actually heard the whole record 'cause i can't fucking find it but this jam is pretty solid. great book if you have any interest in nick lowe, graham parker, stiff records, etc. runnin' down to memphis.

"sleep song" by unicorn from blue pine trees
re-ruling a sorcerer jam from a few years back. dope little david gilmour production that i finally picked up on lp today (thanks mill valley music). the rest is on the usual csn/floydian goodness but this one sounds like a beachwood sparks number, so mellow yet driving. looks like this here link may still work for the whole thing.
