By the late-'70s Badfinger was dead with Joey Molland and Tom Evans completely out of the music business. Apparently unhappy with his nine-to--five job laying carpet in Southern California, Joey Molland decided to accept an offer to join Chicago-based musicians Kenny Harack and guitarist Joe Tansin in a new band. Molland subsequently convinced Evans (working in England as a pipe insulator), to join the line-up, which eventually morphed into a reactivated Badfinger - the band members apparently figured out they'd be more marketable under the old name. Perhaps based on past glories, in 1978 the quartet signed a recording contract with Elektra. Teamed with producer David Malloy, their comeback came in the form of 1979's "Airwaves". In an ironic twist, drummer Harack was fired during the recording sessions. Former Badfinger drummer Mike Gibbins auditioned as a replacement, but was passed over in favor of sessions player Andy Newark. With Evans and Molland responsible for the majority of the material (Tansin contributed two tracks - 'Sympathy' and 'The Winner'), the collection wasn't half bad as far as comebacks went. With a small assist from multi-tracking, on tracks like 'Look Out California', 'Lost Inside Your Love' and 'Come Down Hard' the pair were largely able to recreate the fabled Badfinger harmonies. Probably the biggest surprise came in the form of Evans contributions. He was never a prolific writer during the earlier line-ups and much of his material paled in comparison to Ham and Molland songs. This time around he came baring treasures, including two of the standout performances - the bouncy 'Look Out California (which should have been a single), and the pretty ballad 'Lost Inside Your Love'. That said, the album didn't come close to the enthusiasm and energy of earlier releases. In fact, exemplified by tracks like 'The Dreamer' and 'Sail Away', about a third of the material was rather faceless.

Delores Hancock "Steels Into Your Heart" (1974) (LP) 

(Produced by Jack Watkins) 

Wow... a girl pedal steel player? What will they think of next?? This gal from Burlington, North Carolina was the daughter of George Hancock, a singer-guitarist who taught her how to pick and bought her a pedal steel when she decided the instrument was for her. Veteran Nashville session player Jack Watkins -- a longtime member of the Tex Ritter band -- was her inspiration and became her pedal steel mentor, and also helped produce her first album. Hancock led her own band in the early 1970s and opened shows for or backed visiting artists on tour, such as Carl Smith when he came to town. She self-released this album in '75, though gradually she and her husband, Randy Simmons, gravitated more exclusively towards gospel material and became part of the regional Southern Gospel scene.

Steven O. Hanson "Pick And Choose" (Hangren Records, 1979) (LP) 

(Produced by Steven O. Hanson & Frank Green) 

A key player in Nebraska's hippie-era twang scene, banjo picker Steve Hanson was best known as a bluegrass musician, but he made his mark on the national stage backing novelty-twang star C.W. McCall on Top Forty hits such as "Convoy." This album was recorded in Lincoln with a slew of local pickers, including Pete Blakeslee on dobro, fiddler Dave Fowler, bassist Dave Morris and guitarists John Ingwerson and Terry Schmitt, as well as Hanson singing and playing several different instruments. Not sure if this was Hanson's only solo album... His name pops up as a session player on a lot of indie albums, as well.

Havenstock River Band "Havenstock River Band" (Impress Records, 1972) (LP) 

(Produced by Gary Clontz) 

This was a "solo" album by a group best known as the backup band for folkie Glenn Yarbrough, with whom they recorded one album... The band was formed in 1970 when the various members -- guitarist/vocalists Gary Clontz and Archie Johnson, Geoffrey Pike on piano, bassist Gordon Curry, and Jeff Warren on drums -- met in LA and started jamming together, expanding the acoustic duo of Clontz and Johnson into a full ensemble. They were discovered by studio producer Alex Hassilev (a member of the Limelighters, during the early '60s folk boom) who recommended them to Yarbrough. Yarbrough hired them and worked with the band for most of 1971, touring the West Coast and recording one album with the group, which Hassilev produced and released on his own independent label. Hassilev also offered the group an album deal, and cut this more rock-oriented record, which got some traction before the label folded and Yarbrough went into semi-permanent retirement. The band tried to make a go of it for a year or two, playing local gigs up in the Sierras, at Mammoth Mountain, and later in the San Francisco Bay Area, but eventually they broke up with most members leaving the music business behind. Guitarist Gary Clontz toured with Glenn Yarbrough years later, as a backup musician during the late '70s and early '80s... Many thanks to Mr. Clontz for generously sharing his memories of the band for this review!

Mack Hayes "The Mack Hayes Oiler Hits Album" (Ram Records, 1980) 

(Produced by Gerald Bennett & Benny Quinn) 

Texan Mack Hayes had a remarkable career path, moving from his teenage garage band into a gig backing Liza Minnelli, then in the late '70s he had a regional hit with "The Twelve Days Of An Oiler Christmas," a football-related novelty song that led to a series of similarly-themed singles, and eventually to this country album... and a lot of guest appearances at halftime! In addition to Mr. Mack on vocals and acoustic guitar, this disc features by the entire Elliott-Walter-Bennett band (drummer Jerrell Elliott, bassist Gerald Walter and album producer Gerald Bennett on a dizzying array of instruments) as well as fiddler Jimmy Arnold, various guitarists, and pedal steel player John Gould (previously from the Texas twangband Hickory). Songs include several Mack Hayes originals and other football-themed novelty numbers such as "Kick It In," "Houston Oilers #1" and "We Luv The Oilers." You get the idea. Hut!!

James Hendricks "Songs Of James Hendricks" (Liberty/Soul City, 1968) (LP) 

(Produced by Johnny Rivers) 

An odd record with a complicated back-story. Born in Nebraska, songwriter James Hendricks was at the heart of the East Coast folkie/jug band scene, but he was a sort of perpetual also-ran, despite working with several big stars. In 1963 he married singer Cass Elliot, working with her and Tim Rose in a short-lived folk trio called the Big Three, which morphed into a jug band formed with John Sebastian and other musicians who went on to huge fame. Sebastian and guitarist Zal Yanovsky formed the Lovin' Spoonful, while Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot gravitated towards the equally successful Mamas & Papas. Hendricks never hit the bigtime himself, although he did write a Top 20 hit for Johnny Rivers, and later found success as a Contemporary Christian songwriter. Rivers apparently took Hendricks under his wing to produce this semi-psychedelic, idiosyncratic folk-country-pop album. The studio crew includes a lot of hot session players, such as Pete Drake, Jerry Reed and a little bit of dobro playing by James Burton, who at the time was anchoring Elvis Presley's band. It's not a terribly distinctive record, but it's pleasant to listen to, and it's very much of its time. Worth checking out.

Bobby Holliday "Home Grown" (1976) (LP) 

(Produced by Bobby Holliday & Mitch Humphries) 

 Like countless American kids, guitarist Bobby Holliday was totally blown away when he saw the Beatles play on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, then quickly scored an electric guitar, recruited some kids from his Greenville, South Carolina high school, and put together a rock'n'roll band. The group went through a lot of names and lineups, but is best remembered as The Bojax, and under this name they cut a few well-regarded "nuggets"-style garage rock singles that are often anthologized, even though the group never broke through nationally. The Bojax eventually broke up in 1971 when Holiday headed out to California to pursue a recording career. Eventually he returned to Greenville, and among his subsequent musical projects was a stint playing acoustic and country-oriented material, recording two solo albums with a distinctly rural feel. Like a lot of southerners, Holliday moved easily between rock and country influences and was pals with successful local artists such as The Marshall Tucker Band and Jim Stafford; later in life he headed for Nashville and worked as a staff writer for Ronnie Milsap's publishing company, a gig that culminated in a couple of his songs getting placed on an album by the late '90 pop-country band SheDaisy.

Rick Holt "Rick Holt" (Rainbow Records, 1987-?) (LP) 

(Produced by Rick Holt & Rusty Jones) 

 Songwriter-guitarist Rick Holt (1952-2017) was from Taneyville, Missouri -- near Branson -- but he apparently traveled to Florida to record this album with some local Pensacola musicians, possibly folks who might have been his fishing buddies as well. According to his obituary, after retiring from his construction work, Holt was a professional fisherman (which sounds like nice work if you can get it) and doubtless he traveled down to the Florida panhandle for a fishing trip or two. This record features all-original material by Mr. Holt, and while it doesn't have an address or a date, it looks like maybe late '80s and does list all the musicians, including Rick Holt on electric and acoustic guitar, Gene Burleson (drums), Steve Gunter (lead and slide guitar), Jerry Holmes (fiddle), Rusty Jones (bass), Rick Redmon (piano), steel player Sandy Wyatt. I couldn't track down much info on guitarist Rick Holt, though he may have been more of a rock and roll guy than a country player... The backing band, though, definitely had some country pickers on board, notably steel player Sandy Wyatt, co founded a local mini-opry called the Farmer's Opry House in Chumuckla, Florida, and played at other regional venues as well, while bassist Rusty Jones (1952-2009) was in a group called the Blackwater Band, which doesn't seem to have made any records. Rick Holt definitely loved Florida: though he maintained his home in Taneyville, he passed away in the Sunshine State, hopefully while on one last fishing trip. 589ccfa754
