		<title>Kinky Friedman &#8220;Sold American&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Most country music is geared toward tear-in-the-beer stylings, but no other country album makes me sob into my Budweiser quite like Sold American. And not because it’s overtly sad – Kinky Friedman is a fearless humorist who turns racist rednecks and rough treatment into comedic gold – but because too much of this 1973 album still [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Four Seasons &#8220;The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette is as good as (if not better) than many of the more vaunted psych pop creations.  The songwriting is dense, adventurous and very strong this time around.  Like all great legends, Frankie Valli comes through in a big way, delivering some of the best vocal performances of his career.  The harmony singing is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freedom &#8220;Nero Su Bianco (Black On White)&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The history of this MIA sixties popsike gem seems to be better known than the music itself, possibly
because it’s such a quirky tale. Almost immediately after the runaway success of Procol Harum’s
first 45 rpm outing, “A Whiter Shade Of Pale”, in the summer of 1967 drummer Bobby Harrison
and guitarist Ray Royer left the band for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fairport Convention &#8220;Full House&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Full House marked the consolidation of Fairport’s transition from West Coast-styled, hallucinogenics-
influenced outfit – a British Jefferson Airplane, perhaps &#8211; to purveyors of rocked-up, electrified
British traditional folk, a courageous move tentatively started with the inclusion of “A Sailor’s Life”
on Unhalfbricking and triumphantly completed on Liege And Lief, perhaps the most influential and
important UK rock album [...]]]></description>

		<title>News &#8220;Hot Off The Press&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Definitely not what I was expecting from a 1974 private pressing with a strangely modern sleeve and a pedal steel guitarist. News, who were four or more lads from Yale University, had the late 60s sound nailed down five years too late, but who&#8217;s to complain about a throwback to the best era in rock [...]]]></description>

		<title>uReview: The Byrds &#8220;Sweetheart of the Rodeo&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;d be happy to see a uReview for every Byrds record in the discography (excepting Maniax), seeing as they&#8217;re one of the house bands around here, but it&#8217;s the middle of country season and I wanna hear your honest opinion on this one. Are you all about Sweetheart or did you never quite get it? Is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mark Leeman Five &#8220;Memorial Album&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The UK didn’t produce garage bands; in post-austerity Britain few enough people had cars,
let alone covered accommodation for them. The Brit equivalents cut their teeth during the
early sixties in youth clubs or in the few schools whose music teachers were sufficiently
broad-minded to admit that anything more recent than Elgar was actually music. In these
restrictive settings [...]]]></description>

The story of Mac Gayden&#8217;s Skyboat is one of bad promotion, bad cover art, and bad luck. Gayden was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deep Purple &#8220;The Book Of Taliesyn&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The first incarnation of Deep Purple has tended to be ignored until lately, shaded by the
overwhelming success of Mark II which benefited from a homogeneous (and supremely
timely) musical direction and the outstanding talent of Ian Gillan. By contrast Mark I found
itself at a many-sided crossroads; musically the band was pulled in the conflicting directions
of freakbeat, [...]]]></description>
