The ninth week in the 12-week folk-like series on Gulls Window Circus. Some well-known names hidden behind career outliers: Rusty is Elvis Costello, A. Savage is from Parquet Courts, The Scrubbers is Steve Marriott, Rainy Day is Kendra Smith [at least on this song], American Spring is Marilyn Wilson [Brian Wilson’s wife at the time], The Springfields is Ric Menck of Velvet Crush and The Tyde. Terry Stamp was guitarist in Third World War. Joey Stec was in The Millennium, John Sebastian fronted The Lovin’ Spoonful, Alexander Spence was in Moby Grape. Bet you can’t wait to hear Patti Smith paired with The Smiths!… It’s all here – dig in now.

The 8th week in the twelve-week folk-like series starts with eight songs that catch up to where we are in the alphabet (we are at P) with missed artists. Michael Quatro (Suzi’s brother) does a Thin Lizzy cover. The track by Together fits in this show, as it is Keith Relf (Yardbirds vocalist). Other artists in this show appearing outside their usual bands are Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna), Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac), and Kimberley Rew (Soft Boys, Katrina & The Waves). The Rockets are Crazy Horse before they chose that name, so you can hear Danny Whitten. Artists I want to make sure you hear in this show are Pip Proud, PLVG, Jeannie C. Riley, Anthony Rochester, and Paul McCartney And Wings from their lesser-known 1971 Wild Life LP.

The sixth week of the 12 week folk-like series on Gulls Window Circus. We finish the letter L, fully cover the letter M, then start N. Nick Lowe covers Johnny Rivers, Steve Miller Band covers Robert Johnson, Mortimer cover Beatles. Tony Molina uses a phrase/feel from the Neil Young ‘Don’t Cry No Tears’ track. You can enjoy Slapp Happy’s Anthony Moore solo, and Moby Grape’s Bob Mosley solo. I’m glad to bring you Charlie McAlister, Movietone, Mink DeVille and The Moles. In fact, every track is a jewel.
