CANNED HEAT with John Lee Hooker - Carnegie Hall, New York City, NY 1971
Canned Heat with John Lee Hooker - Carnegie Hall, New York City, NY 1971
This is a very rare show that hasn't been traded much. It is one of the Hooker 'N Heat shows from the 1971 tour. Bob Hite dedicates "Framed" to Abbie Hoffman who is in the audience. It's an enthusiastic show with Vestine playing very well. Joel Scott addes some booming vocals to Back Door Man. This recording is a must for fans of Canned Heat, John Lee Hooker, and the blues.

MOTHER EARTH - Living With The Animals - 1968
Mother Earth - Living With The Animals - 1968 - Mercury
Though Mother Earth is often remembered as a vehicle for Tracy Nelson, Living With the Animals is a true group effort, combining
memorable vocal performances with tight R&B-derived playing with excellent guitar work from Michael Bloomfield. Side one is a
showcase for Nelson's blues belting and piano, particularly on "Down So Low" and "Mother Earth." Not to be overlooked is the blues
shuffle "I Did My Part" and R.P. St. John's sardonic "Living With the Animals" and "Marvel Set," which features him on lead vocals.
Side two doesn't hold up quite as well, though there are stellar moments here as well, including "Cry On" and "Goodnight Nelda
Grebe," with fine horn section work and excellent Nelson vocals. Written and fronted by St. John, "The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within
You" is a brilliant closer; it's nocturnal, moody, and spacy and showcases beautiful muted trumpets and reeds with a gorgeous flute
Great late sixties Texas blues/R&B. There are some great musicians here. Mark Naftalin was the keyboardist for the Butterfield
Blues Band, and Powell St.John wrote for the great 13th Floor Elevators band.Tracy Nelson's powerful and clear vocals are a strong
point of this album. The last track, "Kingdom of Heaven" by Powell St.John is a great psychedelic flavoured song, and is a highlight of
the album. However, the entire album is great and HR by A.O.O.F.C. Listen to Mother Earth's 1972 s/t album, and Tracy Nelson's great
album, "Deep Are the Roots." Mother Earth's "Satisfied" album is @ MOTHERE/SFD

SHORT BIO
The late-'60s/early-'70s blues-rock outfit Mother Earth was led by singer Tracy Nelson and issued several somewhat
underappreciated releases during their time span. Nelson was originally from Madison, WI, and it was while attending the University
of Wisconsin that the singer was discovered by producer Sam Charters and was eventually signed to a recording contract with the
Prestige label. 1965 saw the release of Nelson's solo debut, the folk-based Deep Are the Roots, and when it didn't exactly burn up
the charts, Nelson decided to relocate to San Francisco, with the hopes of forming a more conventional rock outfit. Shortly after
arriving on the West Coast, Mother Earth was formed, which led to performances at the famed Fillmore West, opening for the likes
of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Burdon. After an appearance on the soundtrack to the 1968 motion picture Revolution (which
also featured the Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Steve Miller Band), Mother Earth signed with Mercury Records and issued
a steady stream of releases until the early '70s. These albums included 1968's Living with the Animals 1969's Tracy Nelson Country
and Make a Joyful Noise, 1970's Satisfied, 1971's Bring Me Home, 1972's Tracy Nelson/Mother Earth, and 1973's Poor Man's Paradise,
before Nelson pursued a solo career. Subsequently, Nelson earned a Grammy nomination in 1974 for the track "After the Fire Is
Gone" (a duet with Willie Nelson) and continued to issue solo albums until the early '80s, when she became disillusioned with the
direction that popular music was going in (although she did sing backup for Neil Young for a spell in the mid-'80s, including
appearing with Young at the mammoth Live Aid concert in 1985). Nelson returned to music in the '90s, beginning with 1993's In the
Here and Now, continuing to issue solo recordings (and in 1998, earned another Grammy nomination for the release Sing It!, a

TRACY NELSON & MOTHER EARTH - THE BEST OF..
Janis Joplin may have gotten all of the fame and glory, but she was far from the only white female blues shouter to emerge from the San Francisco music scene of the mid-'60s; "The Best of Tracy Nelson & Mother Earth" is proof positive of that, providing an excellent introduction to one of the more sadly overlooked talents of her time and place. Despite any number of passing similarities to Joplin, Nelson sings with greater finesse; her style is more adaptable as well, capable of fitting comfortably into R&B, psychedelia, and pop ballads, all the while remaining grounded in classic roots music traditions. Highlighted by her perennial "Down So Low" - subsequently recorded by everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Etta James - this 17-track compilation also spotlights performances spanning from a wrenching cover of Little Willie John's "Need Your Love So Bad" to contemporary material like Steve Young's "Seven Bridges Road" and John Hiatt's "Thinking of You," offering a comprehensive overview of her earliest and most enduring work.

TRACY NELSON - HOMEMADE SONGS & COME SEE ABOUT ME
Tracy Nelson really came into her own as a solo artist with these two LP's (now combined on one CD) in the late seventies and early eighties. Previous efforts on Atlantic and MCA were fine in their way but a bit strained. Here she sounds comfortable and strong. Apparently Flying Fish gave her the leeway that the bigger labels did not. What I didn't realize at the time was that after these efforts and a subsequent Direct-to-Disc release (Doin' It My Way -- words that Tracy lives by from what I know about her)she would virtually disappear for over a decade. That made these releases all the more valuable to me. The albums reflect her blues, country and folk influences. But most of all they present Tracy Nelson at her vocal best--strong, clear, emotionally rich singing that will make people who have never heard her wonder why she's not a superstar. It's hard to recommend any one TN release, but this one is a certainly a good intro.
In 1996, Flying Fish released Homemade Songs/Come See About Me, which contained two complete albums -- Homemade Songs (1978 and Come See About Me (1980), both originally released on Flying Fish -- by Tracy Nelson on one compact disc.

RARE EARTH Earth Tones The Essential Rare Earth (1994)
Rare Earth is an American rock band affiliated with Motown's Rare Earth record label (which was named after the band) who were particularly famous in the late-1960s and 1970s. Clocking in at 75 minutes, this single-CD release is probably as much Rare Earth as most casual fans want (even though it only contains nine songs), and as a mid-priced item it's doubly attractive. Among the highlights included here are the nearly seven-minute long, promo-only version of "Warm Ride," and the nearly 11-minute version of "(I Know) I'm Losing You," the 12-minute version of "I Couldn't Believe What Happened Last Night," the killer 21-minute "Get Ready," plus the more modestly proportioned "Hey Big Brother," "Ma," "I Just Want to Celebrate," and "Satisfaction Guaranteed." Motown also has a double-CD anthology which features an additional hour of music and then some, but that's more than twice as expensive and only intended for the most serious fans. The sound is also a selling point, this collection have originated from Polygram's stewardship of the Motown library, all first-generation tapes processed through state-of-the-art digital technology.
01. Warm Ride
02. I Just Want To Celebrate

RARE EARTH - MA -1973
Rare Earth - Ma (1973)
Rare Earth began as an R&B band called the Sunliners in Detroit in 1961. Of the musicians who would be part of the band dubbed Rare Earth, only sax player Gil Bridges and drummer Pete Rivera were present. John Parrish joined on bass in 1962. Rod Richards became a guitarist with the group in 1966. Keyboardist Kenny James came into the fold the same year. After years of doing the club circuit, the group changed their name to Rare Earth and released Dreams/Answers on Verve. The album received little reaction and the group was picked up by Motown Records as the first act on their yet-to-be-named new label. Rare Earth suggested to Motown that the label name their new subsidiary after the band and Rare Earth Records was born.
Ma is Rare Earth’s most satisfying LP, Norman Whitfield wrote and produced all five songs. “Ma”, the title track, had been done by Temptations and Undisputed Truth but nobody rocked the sucker like Rare Earth; they jam for 17:17 on the funkiest mama song ever. “Hum Along and Dance,” first appeared on the Temptations’ Psychedelic Shack; Rare Earth gives the groover and update, a rolling organ sets it off. Lead, Gil Bridges brags about his musical ability on the loud, horn dominated stomper “Big John In My Name.”A haunting arrangement of “Smiling Faces Sometimes” will make you shiver. And you don’t get much more sensual than the soft and lush “Come With Me,” where a female simulates an orgasm that puts Donna Summers’ exhibition on “Love to Love You Baby” to shame; it’s the only new song on the LP, but who’s quibbling, MA is da bomb!
Line-up :
* Gil Bridges / Flute, Saxophone, Vocals
* Peter Hoorelbeke / Drums, Vocals
* Ray Monette / Guitar, Vocals
* Mark Olson / Keyboards, Vocals
* Pete Rivera / Drums, Vocals
* Mike Urso / Bass, Vocals
