Recorded at The House of Miracles
Mastered by Andy Magoffin at The House of Miracles
As far as I’m concerned… David Celia is one of those guys who might be one of those guys who fall under that category of “one of the best unknown talents in town”. An excellent, tasty and unique guitarist who seems to coax just about any sound he wants out of his instrument. He creates a Beatlesque pop from his songs while remaining heavy enough to brand them his own. I’ve followed his career since the release of his first CD, watching him grow and just get even better. His 2015 album was released on vinyl, made in the UK and transported back to Canada in his luggage.

As a classically trained musician, he conceived a blend of oboe, English horn, and strings with guitar and drums, and presented instrumental interpretations of hits of the day. Played Illya Kuryakin on The Man From UNCLE 1964-68. Such was the popular hysteria surrounding him that he was referred to in newspaper reports at the time as ‘the blond Beatle’ or the ‘fifth Beatle’. While playing Kuryakin, McCallum received more fan mail than any other actor in the history of MGM

Robert David was a little known singer-songwriter outside of Montreal who put out a few cassettes and a CD of his eclectic songs. What I like about his recorded work is that it’s raw, emotional and far reaching and certainly not very commercial. East of the Sun is maybe an exception to that.

Unknown jug, pipe, mandolin, guitar
Produced by Samuel Charters, 1963
Recorded Atlanta GA, Nov 1930
Samuel Charters wrote: KDJB is one of the shadowy country groups who were recorded and forgotten; their names lost somewhere in a company file. The music, however, is not shadowy, but is in the best country tradition of rough “breakdown” dances. The jug, in this case, may be a piece of pipe, and it is interesting to notice that it is being used as a lead instrument. The singer, who also seems to be playing a jug, alternates choruses between instrument and the voice.

When the popular British TV series Danger Man (starring Patrick McGoohan) was shipped to America, they wanted a new theme song which Sloan and Berri wrote and demo'd (as Danger Man). When the Americans wanted a name change (to Secret Agent Man), they changed the title and got Johnny Rivers to perform it. He did it as a 15 second intro for the series. However, audience demand sent Rivers back to Sloan and Barri for a re-write and the song was recorded for general release. As usual, Rivers did most of his recordings live, off the stage at the Whiskey A Go Go in LA.
