Free Music Review: A vintage release by a great singer-songwriter
Hit: 5 Stars
"California Bloodlines/Willard-Minus 2" captures the singular talent of John Stewart, one of America's greatest singer-songwriters, at the beginning of his long and prolific solo career. The former Kingston Trio member forged his legend with the 1969 release of "California Bloodlines," a gripping debut featuring such slice-of-America classics as "Mother Country," the often covered "July You're A Woman" and "Pirates of Stone County Road." The album was rated Number 36 in an English writers poll of the Top 200 Rock Albums of All-Time in 1979. "California Bloodlines," recorded in a "live" studio context with top Nashville backing musicians, originates Stewart's unique combination of folk, country, and rock that would follow in his ensuing 37 albums through mid 1998. "Willard," his 1970 follow-up album, is featured here minus its final two cuts because of space limitations. While more diverse and less theme-oriented than "Bloodlines," it contains some classic songs, such as the title cut, "Friend of Jesus," "Big Joe" "Earth Rider" and "Oldest Living Son." This CD is the starting place for those wishing to get acquainted with the unique sound and songwriting of one of the country's greatest, if often under-publicized, musicians. To those who are already Stewart aficionados, "California Bloodlines/Willard" constitutes the highly revered starting point of his richly evocative songwriting and performing career.
California Bloodlines Poster
Cult artist John Stewart first came too the attention of the public when his folk group The Cumberland Three issued their pair of acclaimed concept albums featuring songs of the American Civil War...shortly afterward, in 1961, he joined their mentors, the Kingston trio, leading them through changes in style and continued hit singles and albums in the volatile period 1961-67....as the British Invasion and rock in general ate into their audience, the Trio slowly ran down operations, as John wrote songs for outside acts; 'Daydream Believer' by The Monkees being a worldwide smash hit in 1967.Wonderfully re-mastered in top Revola syle and with lovely packaging. A must for all fans of acoustic, roots music with a bizarre twist, in that oddball RevOla way. Suffice to say that if you don't know John Stewart, but you loved Vince Martin's album, prepare for a master of the art! If you know John well...well you'll know what a masterpiece this is.Folk Music CDs
