Relaxing with Rick Taylor

“Until He Comes” by Rick Taylor on Herald Records.  Taylor quickly released his follow-up album, “Rick Comes” which critics called “a mess” and fans dismissed as “over the top.”   Unfortunately, his career ended prematurely, though he did make a brief comeback attempt in the early 80’s with the forgettable “The Softer Side of Rick Tayor.”

Drawn together

“Inside Sauter-Finegan” A common, yet remarkable Jim Flora cover on RCA Records. (1954) This is Sauter-Finegan’s first 12-inch LP. It was packaged with a gatefold cover of a sort peculiar to RCA Victor at the time - the record is removed from an opening at the inside spine of the spread-open cover. There was no danger of a record falling out of one of these covers.  Here you can buy the T-Shirt!

Beeeeeep Beeeeeep

“Road Runner” Jr. Walker & The All Stars On Motown’s Soul subsidiary label. (1966) A stone cooker from Jr. Walkerthe kind of hard-driving soul that made his 60s Motown work a key link between the Detroit sound of the time, and R&B sounds of earlier years! Jr’s soulful sax is right up in the mix on most numbers — and the overall sound is nicely freewheeling and almost spontaneous — almost a Motown studio jam at times, with vocals and instruments dancing together in joyous formation! Most tracks are instrumentals, but many also have some sort of vocal chorus — and titles include “Anyway You Wanta”, “Pucker Up Buttercup”, “Twist Lackawanna”, “San Ho Zay”, “Money”, “Last Call”, “Ame Cherie”, “Mutiny”, and “Road Runner”. - Dusty Grooves
