Playlist for Friday, July 7, 2006

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always a local artist!)
The Shambles -- Black Spider (v/a Candy Floss: The Lost Music Of Mid-America 1967-1969; Weekend)

This is a very interesting, out-of-the-blue collection of vinyl-sourced '60s music from Minneapolis in the late '60s. The original lineup of the Shambles was: Barry Thomas Goldberg (vocals and guitar), Gary Paulak (vocals and guitar), Jay Lee (bass), and Whip Lane (drums). Several songs including the one played were recorded at Dove Studios in July, 1967. Referencing the Candy Floss label in the liner notes: "The songs were all about carnivals, calliopes, tight harmonies and hope. The songs were whimsical, not edgy; its instrumental attitudes were fun, not angry. It was Leonard Cohen meets Mother Goose. It was George Martin meets Spike Jones... The songs were alive, and they would make you smile."
