Les Lolitas were a Berlin-based band who sang primarily in French.

Their sound was a combination of influences that included American garage rock, rockabilly and French yé-yé, played with a punk sensibility. They formed in the mid-1980s and split around 1993.

Lead singer Françoise Cactus met Brezel Göring soon after, and they founded the fabulous multi-lingual
French-German electronica pop/rock duo, Stereo Total.

'Fusée d'amour' was the third Lolitas LP, recorded in Memphis, Tennessee in August of 1988 and produced by music biz chameleon
Alex Chilton.
Chilton plays just a bit of piano on the album, as does his friend and fellow Memphis legend Jim Dickinson.

Here's the second LP by Ira Ironstrings; The name was a pseudonym used on a string of albums recorded by bandleader / guitar innovator Alvino Rey.

In the earliest days of Warner Bros. Records, the label had something of an 'anything goes' attitude while they were establishing themselves.

Alvino Rey was brother-in-law to WB exec
Jim Conkling, and had the idea for recording campy, light-hearted (though not quite 'novelty') hi-fi Dixieland music.

The pseudonym was used because Rey was still under contract to Capitol Records, but the name and the mystery around it added to the fun.

Produced and arranged by Warren Barker, the quality of the music surpassed many expectations.

As part of the label's initial round of releases, the first album ('Ira Ironstrings Plays for People with $3.98') sold surprisingly well.

Blues singer / pianist Marcia Ball has become something of an institution in Austin, Texas, and down in New Orleans, and at all the music festivals and venues she's played all over creation in the past thirty years or so, rocking audiences like a force of nature.

Born into a musical family, playing piano since childhood, she began playing professionally sometime during her college years in the late 1960s.
She went from playing in Gum, a psychedelic rock band in Louisiana to leading 'Freda and The Firedogs', a progressive country band in
Austin, Texas.

After that band's breakup, she began using her own name in her own band.

Her first solo LP was released in '78, and though a fine effort, it featured a country sound that (like Marcia herself, then ▼) bore little resemblance to the distinctive Gulf Coast R&B sound of the artist she'd become.

Janie Fricke, and Nicolette Larson.

This less-seen Willie Bobo album was the third in the Afro-Cuban Jazz percussionist's string of recordings for the Verve label (following the stellar 'Spanish Grease' and 'Uno, Dos, Tres 1,2,3'), and brought new focus to his vocals.

Bobo was a contemporary of Mongo Santamaria, and first made a name for himself during the mambo dance craze of the 1950s as a member of
George Shearing's band, before joining with Cal Tjader.

By the '60s, Bobo's 'Latin' sound grew to encompass Boogaloo and Soul-Jazz Fusion.

Singer-trumpeter-band leader-lounge king Louis Prima had several distinct career arcs during his long career.

When this 45 was released in 1965, Prima's downward slope from the pinnacle of his Vegas years had begun, though it's doubtful that you could have told him that at the time.

In '63, he'd married singer Gia Maione, his fifth wife, who'd joined his band the year before, following the departure of Keely Smith, his previous wife and singing partner.

In '64, as he and Maione were starting a family together, Louis founded his own independent recording label, Prima Records.

This 45, capitalizing on the recent success of Disney's film, 'Mary Poppins' was released on the Prima label, but a deal was struck to release the LP 'Let's Fly With Mary Poppins' (recorded with Maione and Prima's backing band, Sam Butera and the Witnesses) on Disney's Buena Vista record label.

Likely that relationship forged with Disney had something to do with their approaching Prima in 1966 to lend his vocal and musical talents to their next upcoming animated feature,
'The Jungle Book'.

If you lived through the folk music scare of the 1960's, you probably remember singin' or strummin' along to The Kingston Trio and their big 1959 hit 'M.T.A.' (a.k.a. 'Charlie On The M.T.A.', or
'The Man Who Never Returned').

There's a dearth of information out there regarding 'Eileen Grayam' and The Storytellers, but one possible theory suggests that this Eileen could be the same American-born yé-yé girl Eileen who recorded in France in the 1960's and had a hit with her French-language version of Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots Were Made For Walking' in 1966.

That Eileen (a.k.a. Eileen Goldsen) had been in L.A. in the early '60's, had translated folk songs into French following her graduation from UCLA, and following her move to Paris, released a 4-song EP around '65 that included a version of 'Le Metro de Boston'.

The pieces fit for all these Eileens to be one and the same, but without verification it's still
just a theory...

Pat Suzuki was the first
Japanese American singer signed to a recording contract to a major label in the U.S.

It's a shameful state of affairs when just about all of her classic albums are currently
out-of-print.

Take a listen to Ms. Suzuki's voice on this LP, accompanied by Ralph Burns and his orchestra (including Doc Severinsen and Milt Hinton), and you'll likely agree.

Pat Suzuki was born in 1934 in California's Central Valley, in the farming community of Cressey, where she sang in church and at community events as a child.

Born second-generation Japanese American, she and her family were relocated to the
Amache internment camp near Granada, Colorado during World War II.

Following the war, her family returned to California, where Pat graduated from San Jose State University in 1954.

During a return to San Jose State for postgraduate work in education, Pat sang at local jazz clubs.
Members of the teaching credential committee disapproved, and Pat was denied her teaching certification.

She soon moved to New York, where she began an acting career.

While appearing in the play 'Tea House of the August Moon', the touring company she was with traveled to Seattle, Washington.

Following one evening's show, the cast wound up at The Colony, a popular jazz club in Seattle.
After an impromptu performance on their stage, Pat was offered a regular gig by the club's manager, Norm Bobrow.

Pat Suzuki soon became a staple of Seattle's nightclub scene, and the story goes that it was while singing at The Colony in 1957 that she was 'discovered' by Bing Crosby, who helped her obtain a recording contract with RCA Victor, beginning with it's Vik subsidiary label.

Suzuki had her Broadway debut in Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'Flower Drum Song', which opened in December of 1958 and ran for 600 performances.

During the show's initial stage run and on the original cast album, she popularized the song 'I Enjoy Being A Girl' (though, unlike her co-star Miyoshi Umeki, she did not appear in the 1961 film version).

This was the second LP from the group called Smith, an L.A.-based rock band that had a specialty with cover tunes, and was most notable for the songs that featured vocalist
Gayle McCormick.

They were signed to the Dunhill label in 1969, reportedly after having been 'discovered' by musician Del Shannon, and gained some notoriety after the release of their first album.

The band broke up in 1971, after personnel changes and this second album.

Various members went on to do session work, while Gayle McCormick pursued a solo career.

Among producer Ethel Gabriel's many credits during her tenure at RCA Records was the creation of George Melachrino's
'Moods for Music' series of albums in the 1950's, which she followed up by masterminding the 'Living Strings' series of easy-listening LPs for RCA's 'budget' label, Camden.

The 'Living Strings' concept blossomed into several other instrumental series, including 'Living Guitars', which Gabriel put under the direction of prolific session guitarist Al Caiola, who was already working on a seemingly endless string of albums recorded under his own name at United Artists.

I guess I can't stay away - - My road just winds back again to country singer Dave Dudley (1926 - 2003).

Recorded during his fertile period with the Mercury label, this 1969 album is another good example of how easy it could be for him to stray from his 'typecast' image and perform songs that weren't about big trucks.

Some great songs, and as always, what a great voice!

Including four original songs by Dudley, a couple from Tom T. Hall (always a perfect fit for Dave) and a couple more covers from 'new kids' John Forgerty and Bob Dylan, the album stacks up nicely.

With Warren Barker's arrangements and orchestra behind him, Tommy Morgan achieved a lushness with his harmonica on this classic instrumental exotica record that eluded many other players.

- Click here to view the liner notes to this LP in a new window.

You've heard Tommy Morgan's harmonica, as has most everyone else on the planet at one time or another.

As of this writing, after 50+ years in the business he remains one of the top harmonica session men in Hollywood, and can be heard on countless recordings and on film and television.

In the 1970's, it was his harmonica on The Carpenters'
'Rainy Days And Mondays', while on TV it was his distinctive playing in the themes to 'The Rockford Files' and 'Sanford and Son'.

Back in the '60's, he was on The Hollies' hit 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', and if you remember that amazing deep harmonica sound in composer Vic Mizzy's incidental background music on 'Green Acres' - - guess what...?

Not to be confused with a British rock group from the same era, the American 'T-Bones' group began in the early 1960's as a fairly loose affiliation of
Los Angeles-based studio session musicians, known primarily for surf instrumentals.

Guitarists Judd Hamilton and brother Dan Hamilton, bass player Joe Frank Carollo,
multi-instrumentalist
Tommy Reynolds, and drummer Gene Pello solidified as a performing group after the
T-Bones single 'No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)' (based on a melody from an
Alka Seltzer TV commercial and recorded by a slightly different line-up) became a hit in 1965.

The band performed live together and released several more 45s and a few LPs over the next couple of years, but when their radio airplay and hit singles began to dry up, they disbanded in 1967 following a concert tour of Japan.

By the end of 1970 however, the old band had morphed into the new group Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds ▼ and were all over American Top 40 radio airwaves the following summer with their hit 'Don't Pull Your Love'.

The recorder makes for a surprisingly apt lead 'voice' in this irrepressibly happy batch of recordings from the mid-'50's through early '60's!

Lazy Ade Monsbourgh (sometimes spelled as 'Monsborough') was an Australian multi-instrumentalist, and a leader of the traditional jazz scene in that country.

Born in 1917, he came up as an alto saxophone player and clarinetist, forming his first band while at college.

He'd first trained as a pianist, but also became proficient at trombone, trumpet and various reed instruments.

His association with danceband leader Graeme Bell began in 1930, and Monsbourgh was part of Bell's influential band through the '40's and '50's, including during several major European tours.

Whether as a sideman or bandleader, and regardless of instrument, 'Lazy Ade' was quite busy during his career and made many recordings before entering semi-retirement in the 1970's.

Recording personnel on this album includes:

Ade Monsbourgh, recorder
Graham Coyle, piano
Frank Gow, piano
Peter Cleaver, banjo
Jack Varney, banjo
Ron Williamson, tuba
Roger Bell, washboard
Jim Beale, washboard
Len Barnard, washboard

Vocalist & mandolin player Sammy Allred teamed with vocalist & guitarist
Raymond Dewayne 'Son' Smith not long after they met in high school in Austin, Texas.

It was the last part of the 1950's when they began to perform country novelty tunes as The Geezinslaw Brothers, and it was the 1960's when they flourished in the recording studio and in TV appearances.

After their string of albums recorded that decade, they sort of receded into the sunset for a while, returning stronger in the '80's, '90's and beyond as venerable regular fixtures of the Austin music scene, now known simply as
'The Geezinslaws'.

The A-side of this 45 is the original country version of a tune that would later become a popular single by Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs, released as 'I Couldn't Spell !!*@!', with the 'yucch' in the chorus replaced by a blown razzberry.

The B-side covers a song previously recorded by Buck Owens.

Both of these tracks were produced by Kelso Herston, a Nashville session musician who'd played guitar and/or bass on records by Loretta Lynn,
Ernest Tubb, George Jones, Ferlin Husky, June Carter Cash, Bobby Bare and others.

Herston would also produce records for these artists and others like
Bobbie Gentry, Merle Travis, Sonny James and Wanda Jackson.

He went on to work as the musical director for the TV show 'Hee-Haw', before becoming a successful writer of commercial jingles.

A swingin' instrumental version this month, from a giant of the big band era with his 1960's
'New Swingin' Band' lineup, featuring Buddy Rich on drums.

Musician and band leader Harry James (1916 -1983) began playing trumpet as a child, and was performing with local bands in and around Beaumont, Texas in his teens.

He joined Ben Pollack's Dance Band in 1935, and moved over to Benny Goodman's orchestra in 1937 and '38.

James began leading his own band in 1939, and was hugely popular during the war years and beyond.

He led his orchestra for over forty years. In 1983, diagnosed with cancer, he continued performing up until 9 days before his death, in Las Vegas.

Canada's Arc Records was a budget label similar to the Crown label in the U.S.

The label was one of the first to promote Canadian music, and several Canadian artists had their first recordings released on Arc, including Anne Murray.

But another of Arc's specialties was releasing 'sound-alike' albums of top pop hits covered by Canadian artists and session musicians, as part of the CRTC's Canadian Content rule.

(ADDENDUM, 8/12/08: Please check comments on this post for some helpful info and clarifications regarding the Arc label and the CanCon rules. Many thanks to folks in the know for sharing!)

Judging by the vintage of 'Wheels' and the other hit instrumental tunes covered on this album, an educated guess places its release somewhere around the end of 1962.

But judging by the back-cover roster of other albums available on the label, it looks like this pressing of the album is from a run issued roughly 6 years later, towards the end of the sixties.
