Roadmaster ... CD Edsel/Demon (UK), 1972. Used ...
Just Sold Out!
A warm, wonderful set of Gene Clark recordings from the early 70s – material that probably should have been issued as a proper album in the States back in the day, as sounds pretty much as solid to us as some of his great work in preceding years – but was issued only in Europe at the ...

A wonderful album from the eternally underrated Hoyt Axton – whose rich, folksy lead vocals are given some fairly soaring arrangements on tunes that range from topical but not quite protest folk material to some trippier, chemically enhanced narratives!

(Sealed vintage stereo pressing! Cover has some wear near the bottom, where a bit of the shrinkwrap is missing with a scuff on the cover.)

Godlike work from the legendary Nick Drake – and exactly the kind of record that's made him a continuing legend over the years!

(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and initials in marker.)
A live album recorded at a Vegas casino, complete with some occasional sound effects from the floor!

$9.99
A sublime album from the great Bobbie Gentry – and maybe her strongest full-length set recorded during the classic Capitol years! The title's "sweete" is a hillbilly play on the word "suite" – and the album definitely works as an extended suite of tracks – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A straight-up incredible batch of recordings by the Austin singer-songwriter ghost of a legend that is Blaze Foley – a self-destructive character better known to the stars he influenced than he is to the masses (he is the "Drunken Angel" who Lucinda Williams wrote and sang about) ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An overlooked gem by the great Charlie Rich – an album recorded for Hi Records in the years before he broke big on Columbia in the late 60s – but at a level that certainly points the way towards his country fame to come! And yet, as with most of the best music by Rich – like his ... read moreCD

One of our favorite country singers of the 60s – the much-neglected Dave Dudley, voice of a side of America that really appreciated his support!
