I look at Bob Larson, and I feel like he’s just one of those guys you want to get to know. He released this album on Supreme Productions, inc., now my copy is a bit of a mess, because the record I’ve got is the 1966 CornerStone Records release (CR 3000/CRS 4000), but the sleeve... Read More »
So, this is actually the second time I’ve played this album, the first time being back around March and at the time, as I finished writing about it my computer crashed and I lost the write-up. So, here I go again with my second playthrough of Jim Roberts & Norma Zimmer’s “Whispering Hope” conducted by Kurt... Read More »
Vickie Lyn Harris was the daughter of Ray and Dolores Harris of Crusade Enterprises, and the older sister of Tammy Renee’ Harris.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, the real question in life is what is better than Steve Winwood? Early Steve Winwood. The album opens with “You Can All Join In” and it’s a whole lot of rhyming and great musicianship on this one, it’s something you can nod along to also, it’s... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I think it might be safe to say that Big Lew is the big on the far left. The album opens with the track “The Eastern Gate” – and well, it’s all very vocal… the piano playing is a bit too upbeat, but the vocal dynamic of... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: This one comes from Paul Henry Dallaire of Timmins, a local(ish) musician and former funeral director. The A-Side is “Princess Maggie of the North” and it opens a bit weird with some light drumming and some inaudible spoken word part, Paul Henry begins to sing as... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Father Robert White, known for his ridiculously expensive record – “The Reverend in Rhythm” – also, released this little 45 right here. Who woulda thunk? The A-Side is “A Heart That Understands” – and it’s you basic pop / vocal standard with the backing vocals, and... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So Claude François was almost like Elvis but in France. He wrote the original French version of the song “My Way” (“Comme D’Habitude“) and ultimately died after trying to change a light bulb in the shower. The A-Side of this EP opens with “Maman Chérie” and despite being... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So here we are with the greatest band of all time, Led Zeppelin with their debut self titled album.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: ““Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I’ve always been a George Jones fan, and this album has been sitting in my review pile for ages. So, I finally thought I’d get around to reviewing it. The album opens with the song “Four-O-Thirty Three” and it’s really that classic country that everyone loves, or... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Gatefold: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: Personal Review: Well, here we are April 10th, exactly 45 years after the Beatles broke up on April 10th, 1970 – with what is one of their greatest albums, “The White Album” – which is actually just self-titled. Anyways, the album opens with McCartney singing “Back in the... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “TALK ABOUT A HAPPENING! One took place at the SIPPIN LIZZARD coffee house, in Flint, Michigan, less than a year ago when Charlie and Paul first met.
