Artists who played every bit of music on their album

This a toughie.
Name the artists who play and sing (if there are vocals) on every bit of music on their album. They have to be the only person on the whole album- no guest stars!
Sampling does not count either!

I'll start:
Paul Rodgers- Cut Loose

Does McCartney II count or is Linda on that?

 

Todd Rundgren
Emitt Rhodes

 

The Monkees. Just kidding!

The Incredible String Band's first album (self-titled) comes to mind.

Jim W

 

"The Monkees. Just kidding!"


What about "Head Quarters"?

 

Steve Winwood on his first solo effort.

 

There is a credit to Linda for "additional vocals". So technically that's out under your rules.

 

"Oar" by Alexander "Skip" Spence.
"Stereo" and "Mono" by Paul Westerberg
"Intolerance" by Grant Hart
Three of Dylan's first four albums
"Metal Machine Music" by Lou Reed

 

robert johnson
james p. johnson
bob dylan
tomita
lightnin hopkins
anita bryant?
buffy saint-marie
sandy bull

 

Nick Drake -Pink Moon

 

Session players were used on "Headquarters", too.

Jim W

 

If you're going to San Francisco.....

Debut albums (1966-1967) from these hippie do-it-yourselfers:

"Jefferson Airplane Takes Off"
"The Grateful Dead"
"Moby Grape"
"Electric Music for the Mind and Body" - Country Joe & the Fish
"Big Brother & the Holding Company"

 

yo-yo ma
glenn gould

 

The Band's "Music From Big Pink" and "Stage Fright", and probably every Creedence Clearwater Revival album.

Jim W.

 

Mike Oldfield ? Tubular Bells ?

 

Jason Falkner

Television

 

I think bartels76 intended to ask which solo artists performed every lick of music on their albums. A lot of groups, more than we could list, played all their own music.

We probably want to restrict it to rock and soul genres, too, since we could also list every classical performer that recorded pieces written for solo instrument, as well as hundreds of traditional folk and blues singers that typically record with only their own accompaniment.

 

That figures !

 

The Blue Ridge Rangers, everything by John Fogerty.
JG

 

Prince - "Prince" (and possibly others, but I cannot recall the details re background vocals)

 

Yes has to be 1 guy or gal playing everything themselves on the entire record.
So Bob Dylan would count but not CCR.

 

Mc Cartney

 

Les Paul

 

Roy Wood's Boulders and Mustard are basically one man band albums, although someone contributed a bit of harmonium to the former, and then-girlfriend Annie Haslam contributed a bit of backing vocals on the latter.

Kwad

 

Grant-Lee Phillips' MOBILIZE

 

Both Sides-Phil Collins
