This record is fantastic. Too bad reissue is CD only.

Was feeling a little jaded. Been posting and searching for 70s music for a long time. Stumbled upon Ernie Graham LP up on Ebay. Then found your blog. Wow ! Beautiful music.

Thanks for the great posts and for making me feel enthusiastic again.

Cheers

I missed this one the first time around. Just tracked back from the “Help Yourself” post. More great stuff! Thanks again.

On first listen these two tracks seem bordering on the beautiful, but the closing refrain on “for A little While” really seals the deal. I have never heard of Ernie Graham or seen this album before. Certainly, the backing is much warmer than any Brinsley Schwarz I’ve heard previously, and on “So Lonely” the sound is oddly reminiscent of early Frankie Miller, though definitely not in vocal style.

“For A Little While” is different again, and the guitars have that Beatles “Abbey Road” feel where everything is smokey brown and whiskey comfortable. Great stuff.

This is gorgeous. Not pub rock at all! Much more like The Band, as you point out. Thanks for posting Brendan.

So reminiscent of Meic Stevens, Gordon Jackson, Gary Farr .
Beautiful music that I’d never heard before. Thanks.
