Williamson formed Pukka Orchestra in 1979 with Neil Chapman and Tony Duggan-Smith. In 1985, Pukka Orchestra captured a CASBY Award for Most Promising Band before their bright future was upended. Solid Gold Records would soon fold in spite of the band's success, and Williamson would develop kidney problems while visiting relatives in Scotland.

Williamson would remain in Scotland to receive dialysis treatment while Chapman, Duggan-Smith and Toronto's music community held benefit performances to raise money in support. He would later return to Canada and receive a kidney transplant, before rejoining Pukka Orchestra to release four-song EP The Palace of Memory through their own A Major Label. The Pukka Orchestra whose 1984 single “Cherry Beach Express” highlighted police violence at Toronto’s Police’s 52 Division. Toronto Police are said to have attempted to block the single’s release.

Pukka Orchestra eventually broke up in 1988

The second live album by the Burrito Brothers, this was released after the core of the band tried to record under a new name (Sierra) to see if they could hit pay-dirt; they didn’t. So back to the old name.

Mostly known for his ballad, King of the Road, Miller was also a tongue-in-cheek kind of songwriter, also known for his humorous songs like Dang Me, Can’t Go Roller Skatin’ In A Buffalo Herd, England Swings and so on. His career straddled the line between country music and pop music, allowing him to have several cross-over hits in the process. Miller died from lung cancer in 1992 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later.

Stevens said of this song: "I was on a holiday in Spain. I was a kid from the West End (of London): bright lights, et cetera. I never got to see the moon on its own in the dark, there were always streetlamps. So there I was on the edge of the water on a beautiful night with the moon glowing, and suddenly I looked down and saw my shadow. I thought that was so cool, I'd never seen it before."

The 7th of 11 studio albums released by the Project between 1976 and 1987. Alan Parsons started out working for EMI and was the recording engineer for the last few Beatle albums. (He also worked on Dark Side of The Moon). In the mid 70s he teamed up with Eric Woolfson, a songwriter and composer, who was composing material for a concept album based on the work of Edgar Allan Poe. That became the focus of the first APP album. Ammonia Avenue is one of the band's biggest-selling albums. The album focuses on the possible misunderstanding of industrial scientific developments from a public perspective and a lack of understanding of the public from a scientific perspective.

http://www.sultansofstring.com


Violinist Chris McKhool was putting out some pretty interesting solo albums in the early 2000s when he met up with flamenco jazz guitarist Kevin Laliberté and that's when everything began to click. Fusing their wild sounds with world music, they formed the basis of the Sultans of String. Since then they've released several well received albums that have generated a lot of interest. What a treat to finally hear them on vinyl!! It's a totally different experience. Ten Years of Music is a compilation album of earlier works but it sure works to my liking.

After they disbanded in 1971, he recorded his first solo album, Can I Have My Money Back? After forming the band Steel Wheel he got into a contract dispute and wasn’t allowed to release any music until the City To City album (which went Platinum) came out in 1978.

Rafferty had a drinking problem that severely affected his career. He eventually succumbed to alcoholism after several years of living alone. A sad end to what could have been a cool story.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Martin Pradler at Sage & Sound Studios, Hollywood and Wireland Studios, Chatsworth CA

Ryland Peter Cooder b. March 15, 1947, Los Angeles

This song was written by “Blind” Alfred Reed (June 15, 1880: January 17, 1956) in 1927 but I didn’t know that until I checked it out. It sounded to me like a modern day, contemporary song about two-faced hypocritical religiousness. It is certainly set for the times in which we currently live. Ry Cooder is no stranger to Reed’s music; he recorded How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? On one of his earlier albums.  Reed died, supposedly of starvation.  He recorded between 1927 and 29.

The soundtrack album to the film the band starred in, Having A Wild Weekend, utilized some of their sax driven instrumentals and even, sometimes, highlight  the lead guitar abilities of Lenny Davidson, one of the most under-rated guitarists of the period.

After releasing two albums in the early to mid 70s, Mr. Joe signed a deal with Boot Records (Stompin’ Tom’s label) and recorded three really great albums (that didn’t sell well). Not Homogenized was the first, followed by Jack Frost and Let’s Party, all of which featured Joe’s unique artwork on the covers. He’s had a love/hate relationship with the music industry over the years but continues to release new material while he paints his life away from his rural home in Muskoka. Close to nature.

Wrench Tuttle was included in the Canadian music critics top 100 albums of all time.

Laurence Mustard Laing b. Montreal QC January 26, 1948

Leslie West was playing his heavy rocking blues around New York for a few years, always disappointed in how his band was perceived by the music biz. He met Cream’s producer Felix Pappalardi who was impressed with West but decided that he needed a new bass player, so Felix decided to play in West’s Mountain. Cream’s influence on Mountain was undeniable. After the band broke up in 72, West formed another band with Corky Liang (formerly from Montreal) and ex-Cream bassist Jack Bruce:  West, Bruce and Laing. Their first gig was at Carnegie Hall.

Produced by Cyril Jordan and Roger Bechirian, 1979

The Groovies began in 1965 by school friends and went from playing Kingston Trio songs to a Rolling Stones style band. They were signed to Epic Records in 1969 and got to open for The Stooges and Alice Cooper. Eventually they discovered what they called “power-pop” after working in the UK in the mid-70s. They were linked to the punk rock movement and took The Ramones over to England. One of the things that lead to the band’s break-up was covering Beatles’ songs but they covered them really well. John Lennon claimed: "Please Please Me is my song completely. It was my attempt at writing a Roy Orbison song, would you believe it? I wrote it in the bedroom in my house at Menlove Avenue, which was my auntie's place". It was The Beatles second single.

The vocal arrangements on the Shirelles’ version proved influential in subsequent versions, including that by the Beatles, who used the same one. The Beatles performed "Baby It's You" as part of their stage act from 1961 until 1963, and recorded it on February 11, 1963 for their first album, Please Please Me, along with "Boys", another song by the Shirelles.

Kramer and the Dakotas who scored a UK No. 2 hit. The song was inspired by "I'm Wishing", a tune from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which Lennon's mother, Julia Lennon, would sing to him as a child.

In 1980, Lennon said that he gave "Do You Want to Know a Secret" to George to sing because "it only had three notes and he wasn't the best singer in the world", but added "he has improved a lot since then." The song was recorded as part of their marathon ten-hour recording session on 11 February 1963 along with nine other songs for group’s first LP, “Please Please Me”.

Produced by George Martin
Recorded by Norman Smith at Abby Road EMI Studios 11 February 1963

The title was inspired by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's "Somewhere" from West Side Story, which contained the line: "There's a place for us." McCartney admits owning the album of the film's soundtrack when he and John sat down at Paul’s home and wrote "There's a Place" and he acknowledges its influence.

Lennon explained: "'There's a Place' was my attempt at a sort of Motown, black thing. It says: 'In my mind there's no sorrow...' It's all in your mind." McCartney is quoted as saying: "In our case the place was in the mind, rather than round the back of the stairs for a kiss and a cuddle.”

Produced by George Martin
Recorded by Norman Smith at Abby Road EMI Studios February 11, 1963

Twist And Shout was originally recorded by The Top Notes, but it became a chart hit as a single by the Isley Brothers in 1962. The Beatles’ version is based on the Isley Brothers' version and featuring John Lennon on lead vocals. The song was the last to be recorded during the marathon 13-hour album session; producer George Martin knew that Lennon's voice would suffer from the performance, so he left it until last, with only 15 minutes of scheduled recording time remaining. Lennon had a cold and was drinking milk and sucking on cough drops to soothe his throat. His coughing is audible on the album, as is the cold's effect on his voice. He remarked that his voice was not the same for a long time afterward, and that it "felt like sandpaper" to swallow

Recorded by Norman Smith at Abby Road EMI Studios 1 July 1963

Lennon and McCartney started composing "She Loves You" on 26 June 1963 after a concert at the Majestic Ballroom in Newcastle upon Tyne during their tour with Roy Orbison and Gerry and the Pacemakers. They began writing the song on the tour bus, and continued later that night at their hotel in Newcastle eventually completing it the following day at McCartney's family home in Liverpool. He was thinking “call and response” thus the yeah yeah answers.

John said in 1980:  "It was Paul's idea: instead of singing 'I love you' again, we'd have a third party. That kind of little detail is still in his work. He will write a story about someone. I'm more inclined to write about myself."

Shortly after the demise of Kensington Market, John Mills-Cockell formed the avant-garde band Syrinx, active from 1970 to 1972. Syrinx initially played the Toronto coffee-house circuit. After a time, Canadian music executive and talent manager Bernie Finkelstein signed the trio to his newly-created True North Records. The CTV television network commissioned a theme song for its forward-looking television series “Here Come the Seventies”.
