Putter Smith – “Movement 1”

Putter Smith – “Movement 1”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “El apellido Smith no es nuevo entre los contrabajistas de Jazz.

Terri Gibbs – “I’m a Lady”

Terri Gibbs – “I’m a Lady”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “Magic.

Steve Winwood – “Back in the High Life”

Steve Winwood – “Back in the High Life”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None.

It’s the Hendersons – “Baby Happy / The Merger”

It’s the Hendersons – “Baby Happy / The Merger”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: The liner notes are just the song lyrics.

When... Read More »

The Whitehorse Band – “The Ship That Never Returned”

The Whitehorse Band – “The Ship That Never Returned”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “When I was first asked to write a little something for the Whitehorse Band, I thought it would be easy.

Iron Eyes Cody & Alexander Longrifle – “Legends”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None.

(I... Read More »

Harold MacIntyre – “Area Code 705”

Harold MacIntyre – “Area Code 705”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “1979 was a hectic year. My personal business had kept me to the grindstone, and it seemed like everytime I opened up a newspaper some gorgeous tanned blonde would be inviting me to an exotic sun vacation.
