Tony Molina: Songs From San Mateo County
by John Bricker
Songs From San Mateo County would seem like an afterthought from a musician with a normal discography.

The Long Ryders: Psychedelic Country Soul

In doing so, it reaffirms his status as one of our most insightful and ...
Dion DiMucci: Kickin' Child - The Lost Album 1965
by Doug Collette
As much of a pleasure it is to hear Dion DiMucci's voice throughout Kickin' Child--and it is a great pleasure indeed even if you never traversed the path from “Runaround Sue" to “Abraham Martin & John"--there's no denying the all too obvious sources of the music. Even the cover photo hearkens to Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' (Columbia, ...
