Ivar Avenue Reunion (1970)

                                                            Ivar Avenue Reunion
Fantastic band that appeared practically like an improvisation, and the equipment that composes it already speaks by itself.
In the late 1960s, bassist Neil Merryweather, who played in bands like Mama Lion, C.K. Strong and a respectable solo career, was recording his first record, where a live legend of the harmonica, Charlie Musselwhite, was invited.
Soon after that, they recorded the album Neil Merryweather, John Richardson & Boers. In this album, Merryweather, former Ugly Duckling drummer Robin Boers, guitarist John Richardson (formerly Nucleus and Lords Of London) and pianist JJ Velker, who had left the 49th Parallel. This album did not gain much repercussion.
During this time, they invite keyboardist Barry Goldberg and singer Lynn Carey to record some tracks, in a kind of Jam Session itself, which results in the self titled album of 1970. Basically a blues rock, hard rock and some ballads. An excellent record, uncompromised, but that should be checked.
All of this happened at RCA Studios on Ivar Avenue, where the name of the band is taken. If they have little information, but it's possible they have never played together again, other than Merryweather and Carey who have released several albums together.

Bugs Henderson - Back Bop! The Unreleased '82 Sessions (1999)

Bugs Henderson bears an astounding resemblance to Wilmington guitarist/singer Karl Tutt. That said, let's move on to his record. He's done two things that most musicians dream of. First, he's gone back and remastered some recordings from the distant past. Second, he's included his thoughts on the recording as a final track, "Audio Liner Notes," a spoken narrative just under two minutes long.

Anybody out there ever heard of Bugs Henderson? I know several local pro guitarists who have, yet even these heavy users of recorded music aren't familiar with much of his work. He's a rumor, a legend from the other Coast, and what's reached us ere has all been positive. He's the TrioMaster, the speed king, the guy who can mimic the styles of six different big name guitarists in one 36-bar passage, then do his own thing to show himself their equal as a brilliant improviser.

A couple of the titles on BackBop are familiar, but it's just coincidence. It's not that "Help Me," and it's not that "Ain't Your Daddy's Business." These are all Bugs Henderson originals, and they're all Texas rock from a confident period in the Lone Star State's music history. Sidemen and engineers knew what they were after.

It's a dark sound, menacing when that's Henderson's intent, merely an order to tap one's foot at other times. Not as bouncy and gimmicky as what the Fabulous Thunderbirds were doing at the time and not as emphatic on guitar virtuosity as Stevie Ray's products, but with the same roots. The first few cuts to hook you will probably be "Thief in the Night," "Quicksand" and "Rock and Roll Man." Even after twenty plays, there don't seem to be any bad numbers on this release.

Deborah Coleman - Takin' A Stand (1995)

Deborah Coleman's 1994 debut is an extremely hard to find CD as it was done for small label. For fans of Coleman, it is worth seeking out though. Her style at this time not yet fully formed, there's a lot of worthwhile music here with most of it written by Coleman.She would go on to top this effort, without question. However, even a Deborah Coleman still learning the ropes is much better than just about every other artist. Fans will love this.

Dream City - Syre Live (1970)

This album is a rarity, it is the Danish band in which was part a fabulous guitarist, Tomrerclaus, great master in his acid wah wah guitar, that at times remembers much Jimi Hendrix. The sound of the band was a Blues with good riffs and psychedelic pinches.
