THE YOUNG RATIONALS - "Under Control" (Mega rare 1984 US privately pressed EP)



The Young Rationals were Massachusetts' answer to Donnie Iris and the Cruisers.
Nebbishy Steve Stone, who had the Buddy Holly look down pat, was a more charismatic frontman than most and a better songwriter than just about anyone else on the MA club scene, but thanks to Boston's fascination with terrible bands with zero songwriting talent, The Rationals didn't put the town under a wonderful hold.
Their songs had too much melody apparently.
Young Rationals debuted somewhere around 1983 with a delightfully goofy music video, "World's Collide" (sic), and followed it with an EP, "Under Control" (Recon, 1984), on what I think was drummer Tim Jackson's label.
(Jackson was also Robin Lane and the Chartbusters' drummer, and Robin's 1984 EP, "Heart Connection," is the only other record I have on the Recon label.)
A second promotional video was produced, for the EP track, "Evidence."
With the title track, Stone penned what those shitty Boston "legends" could only dream of writing -- the perfect 3 minute pop song.
The band split up shortly after the EP came out, leaving "World's Collide" unreleased for whatever reason.

JOHN POLCE - "The Call" (1976 US Xian Folk - His Masterpiece)


First album of the 'John Polce' trilogy and his masterpiece.
Xian Folk at its best.

"The Call" is one of the Top 5 best albums I've run accross in 2009.
Except for the short opening track, I think it's as good as Bob Desper."

MICHAEL HANLY & MÍCHEÁL O'DONNELL - "Celtic Folkweave" (Great 1974 Irish Folk Rock)


Originally released in 1974 on Polydor Records, Mick Hanly & Mícháel Ó Domhnaill’s Celtic Folkweave is considered one of the most seminal albums in the Irish folk music genre.
The album features some of Ireland's most well-regarded traditional musicians, including Mick Hanly, Mícháel Ó Domhnaill, Liam O’Flynn, Matt Molloy, Donal Lunny, Tommy Peoples, Declan McNeils & Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill.
All of the musicians on Celtic Folkweave would go on to make notable contributions to the Irish and Celtic music genres, with Molloy, Lunny, Ní Dhomhnaill, Ó Domhnaill, and Peoples ending up in The Bothy Band, one of the most influential bands playing Irish traditional music in the 1970s.

DAVID NINNES - David Ninnes (1976 Australian Folk Prog)


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.
The album is predominantly a singer-songwriter, folk-rock album with superb musicianship by the accompanying band and heavy use of the moog, which consequently provides the album a progressive touch.

CHARLIE LOCHNER - "Winter in My Life" (1976 US Private Folk Psych)


From a music blog review :
“This is a very pretty, very obscure (it’s not even mentioned in the Lysergia/Acid Archives book) folk album from a songwriter who lived in Cheshire, Connecticut.
It was released in 1976, and definitely leans towards the downer/loner side of folk music.
Lochner has quite a unique approach to writing and recording music.
His singing is most-closely aligned with British singers: a higher-register voice with nice vibrato.
His guitar playing is very, very minimal."

A still unknown little gem in my opinion.
I can send some mp3s by email for those who could be interested !

Victor McManemy - "Land of the Free" (1983 US Private Folk LP)


Victor McManemy with Tom Dufelmeier & friends - "Land of the Free"
Very great Folk LP by this anti-nuclear activist.

Listen to this 'live' performance :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJa58nzC1mc

"Perhaps Northern Michigan’s greatest ‘undiscovered’ folk player, Victor McManemy had a voice in the same neighborhood as that of Gordon Lightfoot, with songwriting talents to match when he released “Land of the Free” in 1983.
McManemy, a resident of Old Mission Peninsula, also had an attitude firmly on the side of the underdog, writing in the lost tradition of the angry, aggrieved balladeer on behalf of the dispossessed, with the injustice to Native Americans being a favorite theme. The album also took a bare-knuckles stand on issues of the day, such as the Big Rock nuclear power plant near Charlevoix (“Big Rock Point’s On the Line”) and atomic weapons (“Let’s Stop the Tridents!”).
Album offers a revelation on the superb musicianship found on the album’s nine songs, with McManemy performing on six-and-12 string guitars, Tom Dufelmeier on six-string acoustic lead guitar, Jerry Sprague on bass, and exquisite harmonies from Linda Dufelmeier.
Back in the early days of Northern Express, we used to play “Land of the Free” at rocket-liftoff volume while laying out the paper, finding inspiration in its powerful songs. It’s simply a knockout of an album and a master’s class in the power of folk."
