It’s difficult to stay tuned to all the great previous recordings available as well as new recordings from new artist. The no mainstream blog is an attempt re-introduce previous artist and their recordings as well as the introduction to new artists and their music. I feel after so many years of research and refinement of my music collection that it would be interesting to post reviews of my music

It's a beautiful day came out of San Francisco in the mid 1960's led by virtuosos violinist David LaFlamme. This psychedelic folk-rock group with it's unique progressive rock-style had a fairly popular hit in the 60's with the haunting tune "White Bird" on their first album self-titled It's a Beautiful Day. There're some other tunes on this album with grinding guitar and very 60's lyrics, it's an

I was first introduced to the Tim Buckley album Happy Sad back in 1973 by guy who thought vanilla ice cream tasted like peppermint when he was stone. At the ripe age of 15-years-old I had some difficulties understanding this music but the guitar playing and vocals left an impression on me. It wasn't until the late 80's I picked up the Happy Sad CD to much appreciation, this CD is phenomenal with

Long time Johnny Winter fans know this album is what put him on the electric blues map, he just cooks on this one! Inside the sleeve on the CD cover it states "Winter is hard and heavy in his hypnotic blues bag. Before the recording it was Johnny and his guitar. During the session Johnny became the guitar. That's so true! It's an incredible jam by Johnny who was about 25-years-old at the time and

McKinley Morganfield aka Muddy Waters who was in a slump in 1968 when Electric Mud was released and it had been a decade since Muddy had a top ten hit. This was the era of psychedelic rock with The Beatle's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album reaching number one on the charts and Jimi Hendrix Experience had release "Are You Experienced" in 1967 and "Axis Bold As Love" climbing the

Hailed by many music collectors as the first American Heavy Metal Band, ok, I know that there're those who say Iggy Pop & The Stooges was but I'm more inclined to say that Iggy and his crew was the first American Punk band. Sir Lord Baltimore was hardcore Rock 'n' Roll driven by tick bass lines, big drum beats and shredding guitar, this band could Rock! As stated by Scott Schinder on the inside
