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.)
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.

Great and rare 1972 Spanish Prog Folk LP released on Hispavox.
Tinges of 'Trespass' era Genesis and early Yes, plus the familiar stylings of French and Italian Prog.

Lee Richard "Songs Of The South" / Toby Pollock "Songs Of The Prison" (Dell Monica Records).
Obscure, split LP of loner/outsider country folk from Santa Monica, CA.
Depressing songs include one about a wandering dog who gets killed and then is honored by its trucker friends ("Dog Named Whitey"), an Indian who gets killed seeking revenge for his father's murder ("Bo Lightning"), a tornado that kills 400 in a small town and the following rebuilding project ("Greenwood Tornado") ... out there !!!

I think this is an amazingly great LP.
Often one can get a pretty good idea about a record just by checking out the titles & various details on the cover and/or in the liners; this is a prime example of such examination. How could it not be raw, rustic folk with a label name like Weary Wolf & a publishing company called Folked Up Musics, with songs like "Trapper", "Yodelin' Cowboy", and "Knock Kneed Country Woman" ? How could it not have a slight beat/jazzy/coffeehouse cool to it with a poem like that by Robert "One Man" Johnson on the back ? Right - what you see is what you get, and it's all the better for it.
Only two songs have full accompaniment with drums, bass & femme backing vocals; otherwise Clay sticks to himself & he's doing just as good that way. The guitarplaying is absolutely topnotch, vocals are soulful & deliver the moodiness of "Me And My Old Man" and "Yodelin' Cowboy" with the same ease as the ironic wit of "Movin' To The City Rag".
The songwriting is also of a very high class, balancing the derivation that is part of this game with original ideas that stand up to comparisons with (should-be) classics of the genre, like the Bob Frank LP on Vanguard. Also mandatory for folkblues LPs, at least to my ears, is the need for a few spins to let the songs grab hold of you - it hardly ever happens right away.
Rivaling "Me And My Old Man" for the hotspot is the, also aforementioned, melancholic "Yodelin' Cowboy", full of nostalgia and late-night sadness that may come when looking back upon happier and/or easier times but I wouldn't want to be without any of these ten songs. "Rollin' In My Changes" is a seemingly lost chapter in the record lists, but I'm sure collectors will catch up eventually.

Produced by Rikki Stein, 1968's "Captain Disaster" featured a mixture of Grignard originals and revamped traditional tunes. While his sound remained firmly rooted in '60s singer-songwriter folk and American blues (as interpreted by a Flemish hippie), producer Stein slapped an update sound on the ten selections. With backing from an un-credited band, performances like 'I Won't Have a Dance', the single 'Yama Hey' and the title track mixed his folk and blues moves with a heavy dose of psychedelic effects. Again singing all of the material in English, the combination of Grignard's ragged voice; limited English and those psychedelic arrangements made for a truly strange album. To be honest, had it not been for his "hippie" reputation (long hair, mod clothing, don't-care attitude), it's hard to imagine that Grignard would ever have worked himself out of a small Antwerp club. And maybe that "real person" vibe was part of what made this album interesting. Okay, half of it was lousy, but exemplified by tracks like the opener 'I Won't Have a Dance' and 'Hansie Pansey', the other 50% was fascinating in a train-wreck fashion.

Very nice Experimental German LP with psych, cosmic, prog touches !
Absolutely stunning and rare German Progressive Krautrock album. It has it all, great male/female vocals, great Hammond organ and amazing fuzz guitars, flute, fantastic psychedelic effects and spooky vocal narrations on two tracks! It sounds like it was recorded in the early 70’s.
