  ALPHATAURUS  Alphataurus  (Magma,1973) - Progressive rock       Definitely one of the classics of the early 70s Italian scene. Alphataurus reside on the heavier side of things with perhaps some influence by the likes of Black Sabbath or Deep Purple. But while I believe there is some outside English influence they are wholeheartedly steeped in RPI passion with a fertile blend of symphonic and heavy-prog. The music is really quite good. Dramatic vocals, heavy dark riffs drenched in organ with fluid bass. Some spacier sections come and go throughout providing balance.

  CATAPILLA  Catapilla  (Vertigo,1971) - Progressive rock       Highly-obscure before the rise of the internet and not exactly well-known circa 2014, British jazz-rock outfit Catapilla issued two albums before disappearing into the murky realms of rock 'n' roll myth. With original copies now fetching ridiculous sums, this 1970 debut has become one of the most sought-after Vertigo albums, and for good reason. Featuring a hazy, edgy sound and some thrilling instrumental sojourns, Catapilla blend daring jazz-rock dynamics with ethereal psychedelia and a sometimes frenzied ambience summed up by vocalist Ann Meek's extraordinary display of high-pitched howling, hooting, screaming and hollering.

  NUCLEUS  We'll Talk About It Later  (Vertigo,1971) - Jazz/Prog rock       Led by Scottish trumpeter Ian Carr, Nucleus issued a series of adventurous jazz-fusion albums from 1970 onwards, yet like many their finest moments came early. Issued on the Vertigo label, 'We'll Talk About It Later' followed the group's incendiary debut by a matter of mere months. Both album's are outstanding, yet this dazzling sequel just about edges it. Featuring a more muscular brand of jazz-rock than it's predecessor, this is Carr and his supporting sextet offering up a technically dazzling display from beginning-to-end.

  MAXOPHONE  Maxophone  (Produttori Associati,1975) - Progressive rock       The only album this short-lived Italian group ever issued, 1975's 'Maxophone' simply needs to be heard to be fully understood. Blending elements of jazz, rock and Neapolitan folk, whilst also featuring a strong symphonic streak, this is one of the all-time great Italian prog-rock album's from the country's golden era. TRACKLIST : C'E Un Paese al Mondo                        Fase                        Al Mancato Compleanno Di Una Farfalla                        Elzeviro                        Mercanti Di Pazzie                        Antiche Conclusioni Negre https://www.sendspace.com/file/3nsvb2

  STORMY SIX  L'Apprendista  (L'Orchestra,1977) - RIO/Progressive rock       This is the transitional album from a polit-folk group into a RIO group. With L'Apprendista (the apprentice), you can still hear the Biglietto Del Tram's very talkative folk (the opening Buon Lavoro) and you're already into a solid form of RIO with its free-form improvs and some chamber rock not far from what Univers Zero did, while still having some accessible, if slightly weird, tunes ala Gentle Giant (the closing Orchestra Dei Fischietti). TRACKLIST : Buon Lavoro                       L'Apprendista                       Carmine                       Il Barbiere                       Cuore                       Il Labirinto                       Rosso                       L'Orchestra Del Fischietti https://www.mediafire.com/file/2d768ec70bnimuy/SSApprendista.zip/file

  BILL NELSON  Chameleon  (Themes International,1985) - Ambient/Instrumental/Soundtrack       This is a definite oddity from the Nelson catalog. In 1981 Nelson was commissioned by EMI's library music division to compose and record an album of library music -- to be used for television, radio, or film as incidental music. Never available commercially, it was a rarity in the canon. Nelson's original titles for these pieces were different, but they were all renamed to be more indicative of their content -- "On the Beach" and "Like a Dream," for example, give strong hints as to the mood of the music. Given the period, which was very fertile for Nelson, there are plenty of tasty little items here, and the relatively free hand he was offered was a balm to him; just listen to "To the Sea in Ships" to hear the joy in the work.   TRACKLIST : City One                        Machine Voodoo                        Chameleon                        Circular Tour

        When it comes to groove, especially on bass, it’s all about feel. It’s a quality that perhaps can be taught, but oftentimes you’ve simply either got it or you don’t. And Bolt Thrower’s Jo Bench seems to have been born with it as the grind-turned-death-metal group helped spawn and popularize some of metal’s most enduring styles. Arguably the greatest groove-based band in death metal history, the now defunct Bolt Thrower never made even a remotely lukewarm album, much less an outright bad one. There for the whole ride was Bench, keeping the treads of the war machine moving forward with devastating effectiveness.

  ELLEN SHIPLEY  Call Of The Wild  (Capitol,1983) - Pop       Yeah it's very 80s low budget production. Using synthesizers wherever possible. It is what it is but if you're just chilling looking for something that sounds almost hilariously 80s, this is alright.   TRACKLIST : Heart Out Of Time                     Love's Out On The Line                     Stranded                     I Come Undone                     Look The Other Way                     Call Of The Wild                     Let Me Take You Under                     He's Not There                     Fugitive Kind https://www.sendspace.com/file/f9l521

  STYX  Caught In The Act  (A&M,1984) - Arena rock       Styx have always been a diverse act, and this album demonstrates a few sides of the band.  Shaw and Young tended to write rockers, and “Too Much Time On My Hands”, “Miss America”, “Snowblind”, “Rockin’ the Paradise” and especially “Blue Collar Man” are prime examples of the best kind.  Long nights, impossible odds…yet a killer set of rock tunes.  Then there are the ballads.  “Babe” is a slow dancing classic, and “The Best of Times” is even better.  Finally, the tunes that verge on progressive epics: “Suite Madame Blue”, “Crystal Ball” and “Come Sail Away” have the pompous complexity that punk rockers hated so much.  This album is a shining live recreation of some of rock’s most beloved music. TRACKLIST 1: Music Time / Mr.Roboto / Too Much Time On My Hands / Babe / Snowblind / The Best Of                        Times / Suite Madame Blue                   2: Rockin' The Paradise / Blue Collar Man / Miss America / Don't

  MARSHALL TUCKER BAND  The Marshall Tucker Band  (Capricorn,1973) - Southern rock       The Marshall Tucker Band's legacy was framed by the tone-setting bluegrass and country of their upstate South Carolina youth, though they weren't limited to those basic influences. Songs like "Can't You See," their first charting song, were completed with notable jam-band and jazz elements. So they had no trouble revving up ("Take the Highway," "Ramblin'"), down shifting ("My Jesus Told Me So," "AB's Song") or just simply cruising happily along ("Hillbilly Band"). And in the end, that's what really set the Marshall Tucker Band apart: While their Southern rock brethren were raising holy hell, these guys tended toward a sense of sweet, sweet reverie. TRACKLIST : Take The Highway                         Can't You See                         Losing You                         Hillibilly Band                        

  BLACK OAK ARKANSAS  High On The Hog  (Atco,1973) - Southern rock       Black Oak Arkansas likely would have been a lot more famous had they ever settled on one definitive Deep South style. Fame's loss, however, was  High on the Hog 's gain. Black Oak Arkansas flex every musical muscle here, even if the album will always be dominated by their stomping cover of LaVern Baker's R&B classic "Jim Dandy." For every classic Southern rock moment like "Red Hot Lovin'," they add left turns like the thunderous funk of "Swimmin' in Quicksand," the kitchen-sink instrumental "Moonshine Sonata" and the country honk of "Back to the Land." It's a wild ride, and a fun one. TRACKLIST : Swimmin' In Quicksand                        Back To The Land                        Movin'                        Happy Hooker                        Red Hot Lovin'                        Jim Dandy                        Moonshine S

  GEORGIA SATELLITES  Georgia Satellites  (Elektra,1986) - Southern rock       They shouldn't have been one-hit wonders, since 1988's  Open All Night  was pretty good too. Nevertheless, the Atlanta-based Georgia Satellites' self-titled debut remains their lone claim to fame. At the time, this kind of down-home rootsy rock was as rare as it was badly needed. But that left-field sound remained out of step with pop trends, and their humorous No. 2 smash "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" tended to come off like a novelty song. They soon broke up, only to reform later with a lineup that didn't include frontman Dan Baird. TRACKLIST : Keep Your Hands To Yourself                        Railroad Steel                        Battleship Chains                        Red Light                        The Myth Of Love                        Can't Stand The Pain                        Golden Light                        Over And Over                        Nights Of Mystery

  GREGG ALLMAN  Laid Back  (Capricorn,1973) - Southern rock       The title here says it all, as Gregg Allman  coasts out of the Allman Brothers Band's charging fusion-blues into something more contemplative and direct. That's best heard on his dreamy reworking of "Midnight Rider," which had first appeared on 1970's  Idlewild South . But the whole album, recorded as  Dickey Betts  began to take a more central leadership role on the Allmans' tandem  Brothers and Sisters  project, feels just as personal. Allman's best solo album also expands his sound into the influences of R&B and gospel that surrounded him as a kid in Florida. TRACKLIST : Midnight Rider                        Queen Of Hearts                        Please Call Home                        Don't Mess Up A Good Thing                        These Days                        Multi-Colored Lady                        All My Friends                        Will The Circle Be Unbroken https:

        Johnny Winter was born in Beaumont, Texas, in 1944, and grew up with music all around him. He started cutting records age 15, and got his big break in 1968 when Mike Bloomfield invited him to play in New York, Columbia Records paid attention and gave him a record advance. His debut album, 1968’s  The Progressive Blues Experiment , showed which way the wind was blowing.       Winter would enjoy a prolific career, making the angular silhouette of the Gibson Firebird his calling card – most notably his 1964 Polaris White Firebird V – but so too his  slide chops and fierce attack, the flurry of triplets and double-stops . Like many blues players of his age the influence of Muddy Waters was writ large in his style. Winter would repay the favor, jamming with Waters and producing three studio albums for him.

  MELLOW CANDLE  Swaddling Songs  (Deram,1972) - Folk rock       The members of the Irish psychedelic-folk band Mellow Candle were barely out of their teens (and a couple members were still 19) when they released their only album in 1972. Leader Clodagh Simonds was just 11 when she formed the group with Alison Bools; their intricate harmonies were key to their progressive sound. After Mellow Candle split, Simonds went on to work with Thin Lizzy, Mike Oldfield, Steven Wilson and others, while  Swaddling Songs  has become a cult favorite.

  LEO KOTTKE  Greenhouse  (Capitol,1972) - Folk       Guitarist Leo Kottke's fifth album is a mix of things: vocal tracks and instrumentals, folk and American primitivism, originals and covers. It's less venturous and virtuosic than his 1969 debut  6- and 12-String Guitar , which came out on American Primitivism godfather John Fahey's label and whose "In Christ There Is No East or West" and "Last Steam Engine Train" are covered here. In a way that makes it Kottke's most natural-sounding and relaxed work, and one of his most underrated. TRACKLIST : Bean Time                        Tiny Island                        The Song Of The Swamp                        In Christ There Is No East Or West                        Last Steam Engine Train                        From The Cradle To The Grave                        Louise                        The Spanish Entomologist                        Owls                        You Don't Have To Need Me    

  SANDY DENNY  Sandy  (Island,1972) - Folk       Former Fairport Convention singer Sandy Denny was hot off  Led Zeppelin IV  duet "The Battle of Evermore" when her second solo album arrived. Like her debut,  Sandy  features British folk-rock luminaries: Richard and Linda Thompson are here, but so are Americans Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Allen Toussaint. She recorded only four LPs before her 1978 death, and this is the best, an introspective set mostly penned by Denny. Her cover of Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" is definitive. TRACKLIST : It'll Take A Long Time                        Sweet Rosemary                        Tomorrow Is A Long Time                        The Quiet Joys Of Brotherhood                        Listen,Listen                        The Lady                        Bushes And Briars                        It Suits Me Well                        The Music Weaver https://www.mediafire.com/file/03zji1dofylus4g/SDSandy.zip/file

  RY COODER  Into The Purple Valley  (Reprise,1972) - Folk,Country       Guitarist Cooder was so busy leading up to this period – working with Captain Beefheart, Randy Newman and the Rolling Stones – that his solo career didn't take off until the '70s. His second album includes backing by Jim Dickinson, Chris Ethridge, Van Dyke Parks and "Tainted Love" singer Gloria Jones. This diverse crew gives  Into the Purple Valley  a questing feel that steers it through blues, folk and roots. More celebrated albums like  Paradise and Lunch  followed, but it starts here.
