Trade Winds

Trade Winds
Earl Grant
Decca DL 74623
1965

Excellent exotic/jazz flavored easy listening album not available on CD. Fluid and sensitive Hammond organ riffs from a gifted keyboardist who died in a car accident at the age of 39.

During his short life, Grant produced many albums from 1958 through 1966 all on the Decca label.

Monster's Holiday

Buck Owens and The Buckaroos
It's A Monster Holiday
Capitol 1974

Apparently no CD was ever issued and vinyl is somewhat difficult to find. I picked this copy up at a thrift because of the horror cover. The cover smacks of low budget, private press. Capitol did spend some money on the back cover. The Monster's Holiday is a novelty tune after "The Purple People Eater". The lyrics aren't even country. It's pure kid's stuff. The rest of the LP goes back to standard country.
