F/S Russian two-fer of JOS Bluesmith/Livin' It Up! cd


Recommended Posts

w/o doubling back to make sure, it's actually a lot more, how you say, "curious" than that John. this "Russian Federation" label has an increasingly interesting, eclectic line of reissues that are, how you say, "extremely unlikely" to really be emanating from Russia. the Tommy Flanders side they also reissued (first time on cd) is long-time pastoral folk-psyche fave of mine... others were glad to see some non-Japanese issue of No New York etc etc.

Zaebis'!!

Tommy Flanders was the original lead singer of the Blues Project before Al Kooper took over that role also. That album would be nice to hear!

i'm actually not sure if the JOS in question is on this Russian Fed label but Felser, here's a link to

Lilith (Russian Federation)

yeah, the Flanders is excellent, rather diff than Blues Project howev-- can't remember right this second which New York studio heavy plays gtr on-- maybe Bruce Langhorne even? once upon a time i actually had that reunion BP side bc it had one (or two?) Tommy songs. there's also a Flanders cameo in...The Trip? back when Jack Nicholson an enjoyable actor/writer, not an overacting (s)ham act (sorry soap opera fans).

anyway, i've had the Verve Forecast vinyl for ages; don't miss-- if you like Dylan/Cohen at all (Dylan's Modern Times is still dogshit btw; bring back The Tramp!!) don't miss Carl Ogelsby, two sides on Vangurd. First is among handful of best ever Am. folk-rock sides, second a little more country inflected but still estimable. Then he disappeared (or quit music entirely.)

Clem, totally agree with you on Jack Nicholson's acting and on 'Modern Times'. I like 60's Dylan but not Leonard Cohen (like his writing, can't hack his singing or the production on that first, famous Columbia album), so not sure where that leaves me on Carl Ogelsby. Is "The Trip" the movie that Electric Flag did the soundtrack for?
