Released in the year of the American Bicentennial, Arlo Guthrie's AMIGO is rich with a sense of love for his homeland. Perhaps most stirring is "Massachusetts," a song that could easily be adopted as the state's anthem. He manages to express deep feelings in a manner that never devolves to clichT or empty boosterism, capturing the spiritual unity one can feel with one's home. The album is again produced by John Pilla and features the usual band of studio cohorts.
The arrangements and playing all support one of the finest sets of songs in Guthrie's career. He wrote all but three of them, and the album closes with his cover of the Rolling Stones' "Connection." While it may have been hard to anticipate that particular cover when his debut ALICE'S RESTAURANT was released, "Connection" is of a piece with his own "Coming Into Los Angeles" (from RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD, his third album). For Guthrie fans, AMIGO is an essential title, and for anyone unfamiliar with his work, this is a perfect starting point.
"Amigo" was recorded in North Hollywood in July of 1976. Amigo was the name of the recording studio and the record was named to honor the great musicians and talented crew who worked on the project. Arlo and family along with producer John Pilla moved into a house nearby and spent about 2 months recording and mixing the tracks. It was a very happy time, as Annie, Arlo & Jackie's third child was born during the recording. Arlo, John and co-producer, Lenny Waronker had worked together on all the recordings starting with "Running Down The Road" each record improving and evolving - With "Amigo" they really hit their stride. Great musicians, great engineering, great songs, all converging at a good and happy time make this recording what it is.
Recorded at Warner Bros. Recording Studio, North Hollywood, California in 1976. Includes liner notes by Arlo Guthrie.
Personnel: Arlo Guthrie (vocals); Leah Kunkel (vocals, electric piano); Linda Ronstadt, John Pilla (vocals); Waddy Wachtel, Billy Green (guitar); Gayle Levant (harp); Nick DeCaro (accordion); Jai Winding (keyboards); Bob Glaub (bass); Rick Jaeger (drums); Russ Kunkel (drums, percussion); Milt Holland (percussion).

While Varese Sarabande's The British Invasion Box certainly isn't a thoroughly comprehensive or complete overview of the mid-'60s boom of all things English in the world of rock & roll, it's certainly an entertainingly idiosyncratic examination of the period. Disc one, 25 Hits from the British Invasion, stretches that title more than a bit -- in no known universe was "I Knew It All the Time" by the Dave Clark Five really a hit, though since it predated their run of hits it was doubtless available to license unlike their best-known stuff, and similar legal issues make for a few other oddball ...

Antebellum Radio is the name of a one man band, with kick-drum percussion, concertina or mandolin, harmonica, & vocals, & the heart of the storyteller minstrel.Antebellum Radio is also the name of the C.D. release, from the studios of Creative Audio, The Friendly Forrest, engineered by Joe Funderburk, produced by Pierry Productions, recorded in nineteen ninty-nine, in Nashville, Tennessee. The name Antebellum Radio comes from my imaginary notion that the concertina, setting at rest, looks quite like a radio, from some long forgotten yesterday. ...
