Recommend some 70s deep cuts

Bradshaw The Bison Hunter by East of Eden (1971)

 

Tenge Tange by Smak (1978)

 

Nice shout-out to Electra Glide In Blue. Fantastic film, and wow, that final scene and closing credit roll. It has stayed with me for years...

 

This entire album is full of gems....

 

Except it was recorded in 1968, as per the release of the Friends LP.

 

Oops! My bad.

The 70’s was a long time ago so release dates can get a little fuzzy. The Beach Boys did have a great run of under-appreciated albums around that time. I think the younger listeners have shown more love for those albums than most of the boomers did.

 

That’s pretty awesome that those songs were on WCCW in 1973.

 

It was great, as a teenager, in 1973 to discover and be exposed to all those new groups (to me) and deep album cuts that i normally wouldn't usually hear in my area growing up. Back then, it was usually top 40. WBAY-FM in Green Bay Wisconsin was the same album cut format. Both underground free form rock stations till about 1975 when both changed format within a few months of each other. Also, i think both stations would play album tracks just in the evenings. Sure miss those days, that's for sure. Thinking back now, they were both patterned after Tom Donahue and his shows from the late 60's and early 70's.

 

The Motors, Picturama / The Middle Bit / Soul Surrender:

 

Not British? Musta missed this, then. I would have too, if I hadn't spent overnights at my first radio station gig, ransacking the promo cabinets in the back room while the public affairs talk shows droned on into Sunday mornings...
I didn't even know freshly-signed singers were even allowed to use their own hometown accents...!

 

Now here's a guy whose fresh, cafe-jazz dinner-music sound swept the nation...
...after everybody took their doggie-bags and left their tips and went home...

 

Barely made it. From 1970's Cosmo's Factory. Creedence paying homage to Elvis.

 

my favourite ry cooder track

 

"Love Me For What I Am" by the Carpenters

Although it was released as a B-Side of the song "Solitaire", it garnered little attention. That's unfortunate because for me it is one of the best tracks they ever recorded. Karen gives a very intimate performance, and the song has a very strong message. I happened to flip over the record once, heard it, and never listened to the A-Side again (although Karen gives "Solitaire" a great performance, I just don't like the song itself).

Oak
Let It All Begin-pure excitement at getting a recording contract

Catfish
Dear Prudence-an excellent Beatles cover

NRBQ
Ridin In My Car-should have been a huge hit

Pousette-Dart Band
County Line-great country/folk/rock tune

 

Yeah, Crosby was always the "deep lyrics" guy in CSN, I love his "Shadow Captain" from the same album, one of my favorite CSN songs:
