Daniel Dugès - L'autan (Rare 1981 French Folk LP on Kiosque d'Orphée)

 

His 2nd LP released in 1981 on Kiosque d'Orphée.

Daniel Dugès has his roots anchored in the family of French singers with folk orchestration, and here delivers us songs dedicated to his adopted region, Limousin, and sets to music his melancholy and his youthful memories. The texts are touching and require several listenings to appreciate their magic.

Mike Welch - Renovations (Excellent 1981 US Private Soft Rock / Folk Rock LP)

 

 

"Renovations," a great LP by Mike Welch, released on Welchy Grape in the U.S. in 1981.
Scarce original Massachusetts Soft Rock / Folk Rock with some rural angles.

A remarkably solid collection of tunes that lie in that certain sweet spot between breezy folk and yacht rock. It’s the perfect soundtrack to smoke a joint to on a Saturday morning. I’m surprised this isn’t more well known, snag your copy before it blows up and the prices skyrocket !
(review by cheddargoblin on discogs)

All originals and some very great tracks.
An amazing LP from start o finish in my opinion !

David Ninnes - ST (Great 1976 Australian Psych SSW LP on EMS Records)

 

Obscure South Australian folk-prog from singer-songwriter, David Ninnes, who released this somewhat rare self-titled album in 1976 on the small South Australian 'EMS' label. Information about David Ninnes seems to be rather unknown - this album and one single taken from the album remains his only known creative output. The album is predominantly a singer-songwriter, folk-rock album with superb musicianship by the accompanying band and heavy use of moog, which consequently provides the album a progressive touch.

Listen :    B3. The Raven


 A rare album in a great condition !

Excellent LP from start to finish !
