Album Review: Various Artists - Americana Railroad

All of the songs are about trains and several of them employ harmonica or horns to ape locomotive whistles. But that’s where the similarities end and the tracks diverge on Americana Railroad.

The album was originally a limited release Record Store Day special and is now out on digital platforms.

The brainchild of co-producers Carla Olson and Saul Davis, the 19-song, various artists’ compilation goes all the way back to Elizabeth Cotten’s “Freight Train” by A.J. Haynes and travels as far forward as Dom Flemons’ original “Steel Pony Blues.”

Two versions of “Mystery Train,” the first by Rocky Burnett and Barry Goldberg, and the second by James Intveld and Goldberg, sum up the LP’s diversity, from fairly true to Elvis Presley’s famous take to a bluesy shuffle, respectively.

While there is no filler, the track-jumping can be districting as the music shifts from the hard country of Robert Rex Waller Jr. and Chip Kinman’s “The Conductor Wore Black” to the folk of John Fogerty and Mickey Raphael’s “City of New Orleans” to the hard rock of Gary Myrick’s “Train Kept A-Rollin’.”

But it’s worth the 75-minute journey because just when the Americana Railroad starts to grow tiresome, surprising gems like CSN’s “Marrakesh Express” (Dustbowl Revival) and Procol Harum’s “Whiskey Train” (Olson and Brian Ray) come in to earshot.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Gene Clark / Carla Olson So Rebellious a Lover

Good luck didn't visit Gene Clark often after he left the Byrds, but meeting Carla Olson of the Textones was a rare example of the right thing happening at the right time. 1987's So Rebellious a Lover grew out of informal jams between the two, and it was an inspired pairing that gave Clark the right vocal foil and musical partner; it was an indie success and his last great album.

The Rolling Stones Hit the Big Apple      You may or may not consider the Rolling Stones the world’s greatest rock and roll band, but you’d have to agree that when it comes to mining the vaults, only a few other acts are in their league. Just in the past few years, we’ve witnessed the release of such albums and DVDs/Blu-rays as Sticky Fingers Live at the Fonda Theatre, Bridges to Bremen, Bridges…

Post-Byrds

Folyamatban lévő projekt, még közel sem hallottam az összes Byrds-tag összes Byrds utáni lemezét, de talán a legjobbakat már igen. (Szóló mellett, duó és zenekari lemezek is értek, a pre-Byrds dolgok viszont nem.) 

1. Gene Clark: No Other (1974) 2. The Flying Burrito Brothers: Gilded Palace Of Sin (1969) 3. Gram Parsons: Grevious Angel (1974) 4. Gene Clark: Roadmaster (1973) 5. David Crosby: If I Could Remember My Name (1971) 6. Gene Clark: White Light (1971) 7. Gram Parsons: GP (1973) 8. Gene Clark with The Gosdin Brothers: S/T (1967) 9. Dillard & Clark: The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark (1968) 10.  The Flying Burrito Brothers: The Flying Burrito Bros (1971) 11.  Roger McGuinn: Back From Rio (1991) 12.  Roger McGuinn: Cardiff Rose (1976) 13.  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Deja Vu (1970) 14.  Crosby, Stills & Nash: S/T (1969) 15.  Chris Hillman: Morning Sky (1982) 16.  Gram Parsons And The Fallen Angels: Live 1973 (1982) 17.  Stephen Stills/Manassas: S/T (1972) 18.  Graham Nash & David Crosby: S/T (1972) 19.  Gene Clark: Two Sides To Every Story (1977) 20.  Graham Nash & David Crosby: Wind On The Water (1975) 21.  Gene Clark & Carla Olson: So Rebellious a Lover (1987) 22.  Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen: Bakersfield Bound (1996) 23.  The Flying Burrito Brothers: Burrito Deluxe (1970) 24.  Gram Parsons / The Flying Burrito Brothers: Sleepless Nights (1976) 25.  Dillard & Clark: Through The Morning, Through The Night (1969) 26.  McGuinn, Clark & Hillman: S/T (1979) 27.  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: 4 Way Street (1971) 28.  Roger McGuinn: S/T (1973) 29.  Gene Parsons: Kindling (1973) 30.  Chris Hillmann: Slippin’ Away (1976)

Gene Clark a legjobb, nálam nem kérdés, Gram Parsons meg a majdnem olyan jó. Roger McGuinn mostanra szimpatikus lett, régen nem feltétlenül volt, David Crosby meg sosem volt az. Chris Hillman egységes életművel rendelkezik, dolgos fickó, nem rossz lemezekkel. A többi későbbi tag közül Gene Parsons híresebb lemezét hallottam, az sem rossz. Clarence White Byrds előtti zenekara, a Kentucky Colonels pedig nagyon jó bluegrass/Appalachian folk.

A No Other... olyan meg nincs még egy.

A kérdés, hogy ez az erősebb sor, vagy egy hasonló post-Beatles lenne az. Más nem nagyon van versenyben, esetleg Velvet Underground, de az egy(két)síkú - vagy az N.W.A, még inkább a Wu-Tang. Fleetwood Mac? The Beach Boys? Genesis?

NEW PLAYLIST: WAITING FOR THE SUN

In 1996, St. Martin's Press published a book called Waiting For The Sun by a British writer named Barney Hoskyns. The book is the single best history I've ever read about the California music scene. It spans 50 years, and covers everything from the Jazz of the 1940s to the Hip-Hop of the 90s. But the major portion of the book focuses on the Rock and Pop scenes of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

I enjoyed the book so much that I put together a 90 minute mix tape of music discussed in the book. A couple of years later, with a CD burner handy, I expanded the original to a double CD that featured 38 tracks, and more than 150 minutes of music. I was so happy with the result that I wrote a letter to Rhino Records and proposed they issue a boxed set based on the book in co-operation with the author. I even sent them my track list as a starting point. Of course I never heard from them, and my hopes for a boxed set were dashed.

Here we are a couple of decades later, and we have playlists, and streaming services available. So, I thought I'd share with you the best mix tape / burned CD set I ever made. I still think Rhino missed an opportunity. See if you agree. After you listen to it, you really should read the book. It's the cheapest ticket you'll ever find for that West Coast trip you always dreamed of taking.

Here's the track list, and it should be listened to in the order given here. I spent almost as much time sequencing it as I did picking the songs - all of which spotlight some aspect, and some of the history of the Golden State.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lili-Babs, Samuel Barber, Carl Betz, the late, great guitarist Chris Bovard, Trevor Burton (The Move), John Cale, Robert Calvert (Hawkwind), Ornette Coleman, Jane Antonia Cornish, Jim Cregan, Jerry Eubanks (Marshall Tucker), Jimmie Fadden, Linda Fiorentino, Martin Fry (ABC), Will Geer, Mickey Gilley, Zakir Hussain, Raul Julia, Kato Kaelin, Laura Lee, Mahler’s 3rd Symphony (1897), Mark Mancina, Jeffrey Osborne, Lloyd Price, Bobby Sands, Thomas Schippers, Bodhi Setchko, Keely Smith, Taeyeon, Chris Thompson (Mannfred Mann’s Earth Band), Diego Torres, Robin Trower, U2’s 1987 JOSHUA TREE album, Gary Walker (Standells, Walker Brothers), Paul Winter, and one of the greatest frontman in rock’n’roll: Mark Lindsay, best known as the singer for Paul Revere & The Raiders. In their major label era of the 1960s and early 70s, PR&TR were one of the tightest and most visible acts in the business. They were the first real rock band signed to Columbia Records, and their garage band energy and declarative stage look pushed back on the British Invasion bands of 1964.

The Raiders kicked out hit after hit in multiple genres including bubblegum, country rock, hard rock, psychedelia, and soul/r’n’b, all with dazzling excellence. They cut the first definitive version of “Louie Louie” before leaving their Oregon base for Los Angeles, joining Terry Melcher (Byrds producer) to launch a prolific and innovative run of great records that still play today: “Just Like Me”, “Kicks” and (recently in the film ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) “Good Thing,” “Hungry,” “Mr. Sun Mr. Moon,” etc. Between 1965 and 1970, as Dick Clark expanded his jukebox TV empires, he hired PR&TR to host three TV shows. Before The Monkees even twanged “Last Train to Clarksville,” PR&TR had already set the bar for TV bands, gluing pre-adolescent me to the tube with rock’n’roll comedy and ear candy—and there was eye candy for 1000s of girls screaming for teen idol Mark Lindsay. He set the bar as a powerhouse vocalist, able to croon soft sensual pop ballads then flip to paint-peeling bluesy growls.

The Raiders crested in 1971 with the #1 hit “Indian Reservation,” which was a repackaging of a Mark Lindsay solo recording (backed by the Wrecking Crew). As a solo act, Mark was already charting with “Silver Bird” and the hippy girl anthem “Arizona.” He branched into other music business roles, composing jingles and songs for films and TV shows. Legendary author Stephen King expressed his fan-dom with Mark’s 2001 cover of “Treat Her Right,” backed by Los Straitjackets. 

Meanwhile, Mark’s career intersected with The Carpenters, The Chesterfield Kings, Eric Johnson, Carla Olson, Gerry Rafferty, Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, and The Monkees, whose orbit led me to cross paths with Mark a couple of times, and he always treated me like a gentleman. I first saw him in concert in 1993, and it was a rock solid show loaded with the hits and deep cuts. Lately he’s been active doing radio shows and webcasts, the latest being “The American Revolution” on Sirius XM.

If I had to pick one Mark Lindsay track, it’s "Too Much Talk.” It blew my mind when I was a kid—my 45 of it cracked but I kept pressing it with my fingers till the vinyl tissued. The fidelity on this clip is a tad distorted, but the visuals speak volumes. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG30aN53GkY Meanwhile, HB and thank you Mark for continuing to inspire and entertain with your skills and talents.

Watching The Covers Flow Podcast Debuts : A Musical Feast Of Dylan Cover Songs

 Many superb podcasts begin in another format. Some podcasts begin as blogs, others as newsletters, still others as articles or books. 

Author and music savant Ray Padgett has published blogs and books that have offered music fans greater insight into popular music. 

Now, he has a new music podcast out that is sensational. It's called Watching The Covers Flow. It's a podcast that dives deep into covers of, and by, the most covered songwriter in rock and roll: Bob Dylan. 

 Host Ray Padgett (Flagging Down the Double E's (about Dylan concerts) newsletter, Pledging My Time:Conversations with Bob Dylan Band Members book) explores covers across era and genre, from a hip-hop "Subterranean Homesick Blues" to a bluegrass "Ring Them Bells" to Dylan's own frequent detours from writing his own songs to singing other people's.

Clearly, Padgett has the passion and the bona fides to discuss Bob Dylan, and he does so with gusto and encyclopedic knowledge of all things Dylan.

Padgett also has a passion for cover songs, as evidenced by his Cover Me blog (since 2007), which is the most prominent blog devoted to cover songs on the internet. Padgett released a highly-touted and well-received book, Cover Me: The stories behind the Greatest Cover Songs of all time, in 2017.

Cover Me doesn’t just take the reader through 19 famous cover songs and their origin stories. Padgett has something more profound, more relevant, and ultimately more satisfying in mind. Each chapter about the 19 cover songs uses the investigation into the genesis of famous cover songs as a framework to tell a larger story of how each music genre and artist has evolved. 

As if Padgett's music resume needs more burnishing, he is also the author of I’m Your Fan: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen.

Fittingly, the podcast is part of the FM Podcast Network, whose slogan is "Great Music Pods for Serious Music Fans." Talk about truth in advertising.

 To kick off the first episode, Padgett picks Dylan's Empire Burlesque album, which was released in 1985, and received generally positive reviews, but a number of critics dunked on the production. Padgett explains to listeners that the album was divisive because Dylan used drum machines, synthesizers, backing vocals, sounding like Prince.  

Padgett reviews all ten songs on the album, offering listeners a masterclass of musical criticism on the bands or artists who covered these songs. As listeners, we get to hear long clips of each cover song, with Padgett adding his musical expertise and background info. 

For example, the very first song, Tight Connection To My Heart, is covered by Jon Carrol and Love Returns. Padgett tells us that Carrol was a member of the Starland Vocal Band, which had a # 1 hit single in 1976 with the novelty song "Afternoon Delight."

On Never Gonna Be The Same Again, Padgett became a musical detective, hunting down a cover by an unknown named Ron Sexsmith, who had the song recorded on an album only in the singer's possession.

One of my favorite covers was by Carla Olson, who took Dylan's Clean Cut Kid and, by Padgett's own admission, improved the song. In Trust Yourself, June Carter Cash's daughter, Carlene Carter, belts out the song with Bob Dylan as one of the backup singers. 

When one of the album's least covered songs, Something's Burning Baby, is played, a musician named Scott Sympathy rocks out on the song.

Padgett is superb here as our musical tour guide. He knows Dylan. He knows music of all genres, and he has an insatiable curiosity about how music affects our culture. Padgett has a natural inclination toward engaging storytelling. As a host, his tone is relaxed, low-key, and endlessly fascinating.

 If you're wondering if this concept is deep enough in material to sustain a podcast, then consider this. Over 600 musicians have released their own recordings of songs written by Dylan, creating more than 1,500 covers of nearly 300 unique songs.

You don't have to be a Dylan fan to enjoy this podcast. If the first episode is any indication of what's to come, listeners will be treated a wide range of musical talents covering Dylan songs. In the first episode alone, we heard from the Carlene Carter, Lucius, and The O'Jays.

Famous artists who have covered Dylan songs include The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, and Trisha Yearwood. As Padgett will explain, sometimes it's the unknown artists who do the most with Dylan songs.

For serious music fans and Dylan acolytes, Watching The Covers Flow is going to be an ear worthy podcast. And if you just like music, then this podcast with covers galore will be a feast of musical variety where your ears can overindulge.

To paraphrase one of Dylan's most famous songs, "Hey, Mr. Ray Padgett Man, play a cover song for me."
