Shakey’s start
Neil Young’s first solo lp just after leaving Buffalo Springfield. (January 1969, Reprise 6317). Click here for the lyrics. I like the song “The Loner” on this record. I’m reading the Neil Young biography “Shakey” by Jimmy McDonough now. I recommend it.

Silly rabbit
A hip little single from Playboy magazine that went to subscribers in 1957 in conjunction with that year’s first annual Playboy Jazz Poll. Included on this record are cuts from the Playboy Jazz All-Stars LP including “Play, Boy” by Shorty Rogers; “Fine’s Idea” by Charlie Ventura; “Sophisticated Rabbit” by Shelly Mann and “Joey, Joey, Joey” by J.J. Johnson. I collect Playboy related records so this is a nice one that’s pretty rare.

Where were they at?
The Butterfield Blues Band “East-West” (1966) Elektra Records. Featuring Paul Butterfield (Harmonica) and Mike Bloomfield who had just came off of Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” sessions.
Ian Taylor sent this in and is looking for anyone who can shed light on where the cover photo was taken. Anyone know?
