This one's perfect for your next hootenany cocktail party. I'm not sure who's idea it was to play a bunch of folk tunes (both new and old) on harpsichord with 12-string guitar accompaniment but they had a certain demented genius in their plan. The producer also got some fine session players to perform: Russell Bridges (harpsichord), Glen Campbell (guitar), Jimmy Bond (bass), Hal Blaine (drums), and Bill Cunningham (banjo & mandolin). Tracks include Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and some old chestnuts like "If I Had a Hammer" and "Greenback Dollar." I don't expect this one to rock your world but it is a pleasant enough excursion into instrumental folk with a bit of country twang. You can get it from medi*fire or o-share.This will be my last post for this year--but I will be back in January with some new vinyl rips. Happy holidays.

Oh ... the David Stoughton link to the download of Transformer is dead ... Is there any chance of a new link ? Anyway, thanks for your nice blog.

Sorry to write this as an entry's comment but couldn't find another way to e-mail/post you. I started a new blog : http://sakallimusic.blogspot.com.
It is what I hope will become a wonderful blog of music. 60s70s rock, progressive rock, folk rock and many other weird-o stuff...
I'd be very happy if you could link to it.
Hi,
There's a new link up for the Stoughton post. I'm going to try to update my links list in January and will add sakallimusic.
Thanks, Max ...

Max, my main man, I've moved from PLO to IRA. The new blog URL is invisiblerecordarchive.blogspot.com. Can you help me spread the word?
Max, Thanks for this one. LP
Thanks!

Your blog is great, greetings from Poland!
Max
love your site!!!
I was wondering if you could repost this " Sidewalk Swingers - Folk Swingin' Harpsichord (1964) Stereo"
i have been wanting to hear this like forever!!
Would really appreciate it
thanks,
Rich
Guess what, Russell Bridges is the great Leon Russell! Along with Glen Campbell and Hal Blaine, Leon was part of the revered "Wrecking Crew" bunch of topnotch LA studio musicians playing on thousands of familiar recordings. Leon's actual name is Claude Russell Bridges. Thought you'd like to know!
