@EasyAce

Thanks for your time and info.

I consider "Evolution" by the Hollies to be a great album, I guess this is when we are talking about the deep cuts by a group. I read that Graham Nash left the Hollies because they decided to do that all Dylan album. I'm sure the songs are okay but why do an album dedicated to Dylan. I'm not sure if they one of just Springsteen songs, I like the artist but not the idea so much.

The Hollies "Butterfly" per one music connoisseur I know, is also respected.

Some songs from "Evolution":

The Olde Toffeeshop, nice. Very British.


The whole album which includes "CarrieAnne" is pretty good.

Hollies sing all Buddy Holly, I'd have to sit down and really listen to see if I liked this.


Obviously, if people don't know it, it is said the Hollies are named for Buddy Holly.  But I don't want to be wrong again.  9999hair out0000

Evolution is an excellent album. As for Graham Nash, he actually began to think beyond the Hollies
somewhat before the Dylan album project. He'd had to fence to get them to cut "King Midas in Reverse"
(it had the usual Clarke-Hicks-Nash songwriting credit but it was Nash's song all the way) and, when
that single didn't do as well as their previous ones, they rejected another new song he'd written at the
same time they decided on the Dylan project.

In the interim, he'd met Mama Cass Elliot when the Hollies were in California on a tour, and she in
turn introduced him to Joni Mitchell, who invited him to meet two friends of hers who were walking out
of their bands: David Crosby was being forced out of the Byrds, and Stephen Stills---who'd just
done the studio jam (as Mike Bloomfield's pinch hitter, when Bloomfield's insomnia struggle forced him
home to San Francisco after the first day's jamming) that helped Al Kooper complete the legendary
Super Session---was free from the collapsing Buffalo Springfield. The threesome took a liking to
each other and their impromptu playing and singing together in Mitchell's living room prodded Nash to
leave the Hollies ---as it happened, on the same day as Hollies drummer Bobby Elliott's birthday, which
rankles Elliot to this day---and move to Los Angeles to begin proper rehearsing with Crosby and Stills.

(Two years earlier, another supergroup formed in kind of the same way: Eric Clapton was pondering
walking out of John Mayall's Blues Breakers after former Graham Bond and incumbent Manfred Mann
bassist Jack Bruce sat in with the Blues Breakers for a couple of gigs and Clapton was impressed with
Bruce's improvisational abilities. They began working together a bit; meanwhile, on another occasion,
another Bond alumnus, drummer Ginger Baker, sat in with the Blues Breakers and he and Clapton
took a liking to each other---at which point Baker let it drop, "I'm getting a band together, do you want
to do it?" Clapton agreed so long as Bruce could be the bassist; Baker agreed to "let bygones be bygones"
and bring Bruce in; the three jammed at Baker's flat one afternoon and clicked. And thus was born
Cream . . . )

This, by the way, was the Nash song the Hollies spurned . . .

According to Bobby Elliott, the Hollies were pushed to reject the song by their then-producer Ron Richards.
Elliott swears he liked the song and would have done it in a minute but for that. Nash's last live
performance with the Hollies before he left the band was at the London Palladium.

This was the Hollies' first post-Nash British hit single . . .

The Hollies, "Sorry, Suzanne"

Today's birthdays also include Sy Oliver, the jazz arranger/composer who fashioned first the trademark
two-beat style of Jimmie Lunceford and then put some teeth into Tommy Dorsey's band (where a
young trombonist named Nelson Riddle paid very close attention to Oliver's work) . . .

. . . Jim Alexander, one of the two Bar-Kays who weren't killed in the plane crash that killed
Otis Redding (the band had been groomed to become Redding's touring band); Alexander
wasn't on that fatal flight, but trumpeter Ben Cauley was and survived, the only known
survivor of the crash . . . they formed a new lineup and became successful in
the 1970s, on their own and, for a time, as Isaac Hayes's studio group for a landmark
album . . .

The Bar-Kays, "Soul Finger"

Isaac Hayes, Hot Buttered Soul

. . . And, for my man Paul Butterfield, his own landmark recording from 1966, when he
let guitarist Mike Bloomfield have his head and Bloomfield (with his buddy Nick Gravenites)
came up with a jam song influenced by six parts Indian raga (the piece's working title,
while Bloomfield and Gravenites developed the idea, was in fact "The Raga") and half a
dozen parts John Coltrane . . .

Sometimes I like Mick and Keith, George, John, Paul and Ringo but it's pretty clear, the pre-British-invasion rock is a little better and we just don't appreciate it like we should.

Well, we are talking about rock and roll, not rhythm and blues though I know some of the groups did blues like the Animals and Rolling Stones and plenty of others dabbled into it like the Doors and so on.

Some birthdays today:

Edith Piaf:


Popular with this crowd, Alvin Lee, born in Nottingham England, TYA, Ten Years After:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Lee
Alvin Lee ended up making an album with Mylon Lefevre who is part of a well known Southern Gospel group and family, the Lefevres.  From the wikipedia article, I would concur, this was some of his best work. 


The Lefevres:

Ten Years After discography at All Music Guide: https://www.allmusic.com/artist/ten-years-after-mn0000020050/discography It seems they came up a bit short often. Good but not great. 

Phil Ochs, if one has listened to Dylan, Baez or Arlo Guthrie, one might see this name from time to time.  With all about Joan Baez's political views, persona, one sometimes forgets she was just an ideal singer, a great soprano, great voice, singing one of Och's songs here:



Little Jimmy Dickens, country singer:


John McEuen, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, known primarily for that one song:

The song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker.

Janie Fricke, country singer, here with Charlie Pride:


Robert Sherman, apparent co-writer of a number of songs in Mary Poppins:
