Hi Michael,
In the 70's, like in this decade, I never was strongly influenced by the
critics. I had my own set of ears, if I liked a song on the radio I bought
their music and attended their gigs.
You mention Bread, for example. They are one of my favorites. Two distinct
songwriters in David Gates and Jimmy Griffin, and their songs were marvelous.
They both were successful apart from Bread, and their music is still being
recorded - case in point, "Everything I Own" was just done by the Connells
and included on the 2003 Sparklefest CD. The Connells performed it on Sparkle-
Saturday as well.
See ya,
Sherman
NP: "Full Tilt and Swing", Walter Clevenger and the Dairy Kings
I am floored by this album. If you are open minded about slide guitars, you
will be rewarded by a very strong set of songs. Obviously influenced by the
Beatles and Dwight Yoakam.
