Rockin Folk/Joker Went Wild
CD (Item 462912) Philips/BGO (UK), 1965/1966 — Condition: New Copy
2 groovy mid 60s LPs from 60s pop troubadour and former teen idol Brian Hyland – the hard-to-find Rockin' Folk and the wonderful Joker Went Wild – back-to-back on CD! Rockin Folk follows the formula of Brian's previous Country Meets Folk LP – with Brian rolling through songs from the contemporary and traditional folk songbook. It was recorded in NYC utilizing veterans of the New York folk scene for the sessions – but Brian's awe shucks demeanor and some chiming elements really add an uncommon sweetness! Titles include "Everglades", "Rock Island Line", "Rasberries, Strawberries", "Walk Right In" and more. Joker Went Wild is even better – with the fantastic feel 60s LA pop! The record was produced by Snuff Garrett and arranged by Leon Russell and Al Capps, and it's got a groovy sophisticated sound that reminds us a bit of the hip Lenny Waronker pop on Warner Brothers at the same time. Hyland sings and plays guitar, and the arrangements have a bit of Beach Boys, some very tight drums, and these cool vibes on a number of tracks. The album includes the original tunes by Brian "The Joker Went Wild", "One Night Jimmy", and "Yesterday I Had A Girl" – plus great little numbers like "3000 Miles", "Sometimes They Do, Sometimes They Don't", "Just Out Of Reach", and "When You Touch Me". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
