Early work on the County label – an imprint who could maybe get the sound of bluegrass even more classic than in earlier years! The group's a quintet – with Red Allen on guitar, Craig Wingfield on dobro, Porter Church on banjo, and a young Dave Grisman on mandolin! LP, Vinyl record album
(Back cover has a few light notes in pen, and cover has a small sticker in one corner.)
The masterful self-titled set and second album by Ray Benson and Asleep At The Wheel – a longtime acclaimed and award winning outfit that's been successful enough over the years, yet deserves mention among the more revered honky tonk iconoclast superstars of the 70s! Asleep At The Wheel bows ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Hoyt's got the kind of easygoing, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has a tracklist sticker and a lightly stained corner.)
Mindblowing early work from Robbie Basho – maybe one of the best Takoma albums of the 60s – and that's saying a lot, given that the label also issued important music from John Fahey! Yet on this set, Basho's as revelatory as Fahey at his best – but in a completely different way ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

With a name like Randy Beavers, you think he'd be a porn star – but instead, he turns out to be a heck of a steel guitarist! A sweet small label release from a tiny label in Arkansas, too. LP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful mix of modes – the songwriting skills of Will Beeley – aka William C Beeley – and the warm southern setting of the Malaco studios at the end of the 70s! The set's got a vibe that's maybe like the best rootsy work to come out of Memphis or Muscle Shoals in the earlier ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A lilting psych styled set from the early 80s by Johnny Blackburn & Mary Lauren – one that would have sounded right it home in the late 60s or early 70s – with an overall vibe that falls somewhere between dreamy psychedelic folk and some of the more adventurous soft rock of a decade ...

A folksy duo from the same generation as bigger British acts like Fairport Convention and Pentangle – and, like the best of those groups, one that has a sound that's much more compelling than you might expect!

Beautiful sounds from the Entourage ensemble – a group who were years ahead of their time, but hardly got recognized in the 70s – because all of their work was issued on the Folkways label!
