The First Edition “The First Edition” 1967 Reprise Records - Their debut album was far from the MOR country pop that Kenny Rogers later had mega-success with. Here they are a bunch of frustrated folkies, some who were ex-members of The New Christy Minstrels, letting their freak flag fly. They were fortunate to be signed by Reprise Records.

Harry Chapin “The Bottom Line Encore Collection” 1981 Bottom Line Records - Harry Chaplin never gets the props he truly deserves. Not only was he a fine songwriter, but he was an advocate for hunger awareness. His music is ripe for rediscovery for generations to come.

Twisted Teens “Florida Water Blues” 2026 Chain Smoking Records - The New Orleans punk band’s third full-length, and second of 2026, has them still sounding a little like The Minutemen, and that’s not a bad thing. Interesting lyrics as always. I definitely have to catch this group live.

Return To Forever featuring Chick Corea “No Mystery” 1975 Polydor Records - I was disappointed when I got this record back in 1975. I was into RTF for their progressive rock leanings and this one was pretty funky. It’s become my favorite of theirs over time.

Panda Bear & Sonic Boom “A ? Of When” 2026 Domino Records - Their second album of new recordings. I find myself reaching for records by these two over the later material by Animal Collective. Between this and the latest album by The Lemon Twigs, I think I’ve got my Beach Boys fix covered.

Elvis Costello and the Attractions “Live at the El Mocambo Club, March 6, 1978” CBS Promo LP - CDN 15 - A widely bootlegged early set from Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I saw them for the first time a few weeks before this recording in February, 1978, at The Ledge at Rutgers University.

The White Stripes “Live In Tasmania, Hobart City Hall, January 31, 2006 - The main serving from the latest Third Man Vault shipment finds Jack and Meg on fire.

Neil Young and The Bluenotes “Neil Young and Bluenote Cafe” 2015 Reprise Records - A four LP set of live recordings from their 1987/1988 tour. I was at one of the shows represented in this set, recorded at The World in NYC.

Ben Vaughn Combo “The Many Moods of The Ben Vaughn Combo” 1986 Making Waves/Mob Control Records - His blend of rockabilly folk and humorous lyrics should have been bigger than it was. I’ve always been fond of his version of “I’m Sorry (But So is Brenda Lee)” which was covered by Marshall Crenshaw. This is the Combo’s fine debut album.
