The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “The music of the well known Peter & Carol is presented on this album in traditional old-tyme style. A blend of ancient Scottish, Irish, and self-composed make this album one of the best of it’s kind. Folk festivals, nite-clubs, tours, and concerts keep these two busy when they are not...

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Gospel song is a unique in the world of music, because of its success is not guaranteed by musical ability or accomplishment. A distinctively supernatural dimension evidences itself as the Holy Spirit is permitted to anoint singer and song. Herein lies the ministry of Gospel Music. The Apostle Paul expressed... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Yesterday on January 10, 2016 the world lost an icon, an innovator and a very brave and inspiring man. Bowie was my all time favorite musician, and his music helped me through a lot of hard times. Hearing of his passing is not an easy thing to... Read More »

The track is pretty good, a bit repetitive,... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Out of the people on the cover I have a hard time deciding who is Ralph Carlson, I’m guessing the dude with the hat. I’m also very much digging their outfits. So, the album starts with the title track “Thanks for the Dance” and the opening musicianship... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “This album was recorded in Bermuda in December, 1971 in two studio sessions. The first was completely solo; the second was with bassist Wally Russsell, drummer Allan Ganley and conga player Freeman Trott. Duggie (as he likes to be called) here plays a Cordovox electronic instrument on all the tracks,... Read More »
