Hoppy days are here again
A double-sided Hopalong Cassidy ep – “The Story of Topper” and “Hoppy’s Happy Birthday” Starring William Boyd. Bozo Approved Capitol Records. Nice old-timey children’s illustrations here. This looks like an early 50’s release to me. Hopalong was before my time. Neal Cassady was more my speed. But that’s a whole other kinda “hopped up”.
Cliff notes
Jimmy Cliff “Struggling Man” (1973) Jimmy’s follow-up to one of the greatest records ever “The Harder They Come”. Not as celebrated musically, but the cover is pretty damn cool. Cliff is one of the 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.
Dancehall days
“One the Hardway” Chuck Turner Reggae from 1988. Produced by King Jammie and Lloyd James
I’ll be there
New Orleans Jazz Festival Turk Murphy Columbia Records THE New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival started in 1970 with performances by Mahalia Jackson and Duke Ellington, Pete Fountain, Al Hirt, Clifton Chenier, Fats Domino, The Meters, The Preservation Hall Band and included parades every day with The Olympia Brass Band and Mardi Gras Indians. I’ve been to “JazzFest” six times since 1990 and plan on returning this year in April. I’ve seen everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bob Dylan to countless blues, soul, gospel and zydeco acts over the years. It’s a music and food and good time orgy of non-stop fun.
What a croc!
“See You Later Alligator” This is another in the series of twelve in a series from Broadway FunTime Records. Each has an illustration on the cover signed by “Stauffer” – don’t know him but love the drawings on each of these records. Search for “funtime” to see others up so far.
