One-Off Specials

This page differs from the One Hit Wonders, in that these artists had established careers; but released an album that made a significant impact in this time-frame. By and large, their other albums are worth exploring, besides those noted here. You'll see what I mean...

 


Pete Seeger

This is the song that got the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour TV show in trouble (Tom, Dick: are you on this site somewhere ??). Pete taped "Waist Deep.." for a September, 1967 show. CBS censors, being snotty old coots, cut the performance from the broadcast. Execs were really "waist deep" when the boys found out about this. And thus started one of the great censorship battles in TV history. Good thing we don't have to worry about that anymore—fake reality and corporate run news. Pete was invited back to sing the song (in a medley with more anti-war songs!) on the Feb 25 show (Youtube link). Plus, Pete influenced a lot of people on featured on this website.

Besides, Pete was from Beacon, where this humble writer lives. Always saw him at the Strawberry Festival, carryin' his banjo and singin' fer everybody. Always fightin' for the little guy and, most importantly, Mother Earth. The Hudson River thanks you, Pete. Nobody like him.

And another thing...

Before we leave pioneer Pete, there is one single from the previous summer to show (out of sequence so as not to confuse you). Pete covering a Phil Ochs song, Draft Dodger Rag. Billboard thought it'd be a hit! Yeah, Top 40 DJs wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole. Anyway, you should know about it.

Another stab at stardom...

In 1970, some bright lad at Columbia thought that a recording of Pete singing Country Joe's I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag would be a smash hit. Kids—a reminder: drugs are dangerous!
The track made it only to the promo stage as Columbia cancelled the single and Pete's contract. Makes a nice twin-spin with the above single. Listen at Youtube .

Chad & Jeremy

Chad & Jeremy had quite a few hits during the British Invasion (Yesterday's Gone, A Summer Song), but they really went over the top on this album. The Progress Suite was a side-long indulgence that featured The Firesign Theatre (who ??) in a supporting role. It may sound kinda dated now, but it's still a groove!

Dave Van Ronk

Dave Van Ronk, "The Mayor Of MacDougal Street," was a legend in the New York folk scene, with recordings going back to 1958 (A Chrestomathy is a good starter 2-CD set). He was instrumental in the development of Bob Dylan's career.
This release, in the spring of 1968, was his only major foray into electric folk-rock. His version of Clouds (From Both Sides Now) was a staple on WNEW-FM.

The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers, singers of pure country heart, had stumbled in the 60s, trying to become something they weren't. This album was literally a journey back to their 'roots' and was by far one of the best records of their career. Coming amidst Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, Poco and the rest of the country-rock boom, they taught them all a lesson.

Muddy Waters

In the spring of 1969, blues veterans Muddy Waters & Otis Spann were brought together with the "new kids on the block" (Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield and friends). Several days of studio sessions were followed by a live concert at the "Super Cosmic Joy-Scout Jamboree" and the resulting 2-lp set was released in the summer.

Leo Kottke

An album that reverberated throughout college campuses in the spring of 1970 was this masterpiece by (now) legendary guitarist, Leo Kottke. Recorded on one afternoon, in the order on the record (most one take). Leo signed a recording contract with our friends at Capitol and released Mudlark in 1971 and a whole bunch since then.

Booker T & The MGs

Two studios had great "house" bands creating some of the best recordings of all time. Motown had The Funk Brothers, while Stax had The Memphis Group. Backing Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, and Aretha Franklin (among others) were Booker T & The MGs. Two white dudes and two black cats laid on the soul stew to allow the records simmer. But, of these two house bands, only Booker T & The MGs had hit recordings on their own: Green Onions and Hip-Hug Her being top 10 hits. When The Beatles released Abbey Road, Booker was mighty impressed:
"I was in California when I heard Abbey Road, and I thought it was incredibly courageous of The Beatles to drop their format and move out musically like they did. To push the limit like that and reinvent themselves when they had no need to that. They were the top band in the world but they still reinvented themselves. The music was just incredible so I felt I needed to pay tribute to it."

Marvin Gaye
Marvin Gaye was a hit machine in the singles-oriented world of Motown [How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), Ain't That Peculiar, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing]. But, he had something to say about the Vietnam War, race relations, and other things on his mind. In 1970, Gaye recorded the mold-breaking What's Going On. Berry Gordy didn't want to release it, saying it wouldn't sell. Gaye forced his hand (by not recording or writing anything else), and in 1971 had a best seller.

Long John Baldry
Long John Baldry can be considered as a godfather to many of the English rockers of the 60s. He worked with Alexis Korner and Blues Incorporated (which featured future stars Mick Jagger & Jack Bruce). He then joined the Cyril Davies R&B All Stars, which he took over after Davies' death in 1964. Band members of the group included Rod Stewart. In the mid 60s, he formed Steampacket, which included Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger. His last major all star band, Bluesology, featured a young Elton John on piano. In the Spring of 1971, he reunited with Rod & Elton to record It Ain't Easy.

Howlin' Wolf
Backstage at the Fillmore Auditorium, after a concert by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Electric Flag, and Cream, Chess Records staff producer Norman Dayron spotted the guitar players of the latter two bands, Mike Bloomfield and Eric Clapton, talking and joking around. Dayron approached Clapton and, on impulse, asked "how would you like to do an album with Howlin' Wolf?" After confirming that the offer was legitimate, Clapton agreed, and Dayron set up sessions in London (wiki ) in early May, 1970.
