Free Music Notes for California Bloodlines
Free Music Review: Geez -- this is good
Hit: 5 Stars
I was in college from 1969 to 1973, and I am absolutely stunned that I didn't know about this record. Fortunately, Stewart was wrong -- You Can Look Back. I am so glad I found this terrific music. Stewart was the Saint of San Joaquin and was indeed Some Lonesome Picker. I hope he's now somewhere over the Omaha Rainbow.Free Music Review: Memories of Hippie Daze
Hit: 5 Stars
This was one of my favorite albums way back then. I ordered it and it is ever so wonderful, evoking memories and stimulating my writing like a weekend with an old, best friend. His writing is some of our nation's best. This is truly a classic album.
Agtek's John Fletcher and Hank Fletcher turned me on to this album.

Free Music Review: An Americana Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Some albums are so iconic that words do not do justice to the work. If The Byrds and Dylan invented folk rock, this album jump started the Americana music genre, and has been a touchstone for generations of acoustic musicians and roots music lovers. From first note to last, this album is a perfectly realized vision, filled with classic songs about America from one of its most astute observers of national life. These are timeless songs, as touching and moving in 2007 as they were 40 years ago. This new CD is a great mix of the album, with clear sound and expansive sound. New instruments can be heard clear as a songbird, giving new depth and enjoyment to listening to an album I have heard hundreds of times. This disc can not be recommended highly enough.Free Music Review: A Timeless Gem
Hit: 5 Stars
In college in the early 70s, my roommates and I gave as much listening time to our John Stewart LPs as we did any other music that was more commercially popular at the time. I spent hours figuring out the guitar chords to the songs on California Bloodlines. I lost that LP 25 years ago, but I still know all the words to all the wonderful songs. I just got this CD (why did it take me so long?) and put it on. All the great songs were immediately so familiar, like I never left them. California Bloodlines is a masterpiece of acoustic folk rock music, and it still sounds great, and Willard isn't bad either. This Bear Family CD has the high quality audio that John Stewart deserves. John Stewart is an American treasure.Free Music Review: Top ten
Hit: 5 Stars
Absolutely timeless. I never liked the best selling "Gold" album much, and I think Willard is disappointing, but "California Bloodlines" is up there with the best of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and John Prine. The lyrics of Razor Back Woman ("these were the days my sprung lungs will never forget") and just about every other song here are memorable. I'm always surprised that so few people know about this great album!
