from 1977, Max Webster, from Toronto, with Diamonds, Diamonds. A song that should have charted on Billboard.
Ernie Graham - Don't Want Me round You Singer-songwriter from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Together with Henry McCullough he formed the psychedelic band "Eire Apparent", who released one album and a few singles in 1968 and 1969. He was briefly a member of the rock band "Help Yourself" and contributed to their second album "Strange Affair" in 1972. Afterwards, he co-founded the pub rock band "Clancy" who released two albums in 1974 and 1975. However, for me his finest moment was in between all these bands: "Don't Want Me round You" is a hauntingly beautiful and relaxed track from his one and only self-titled solo album, released on Liberty in 1971. Backed by members of Brinsley Schwarz and Help Yourself.
Country Funk - Really My Friend The group originally formed in Los Angeles in 1968, but then moved out to Boston. Nice blend of folk rock, country rock and psych with a shot of blues, and fuzzy guitars on some tracks. Country Funk released only one self-titled album on Polydor in 1970, shortly before disbanding.
