by
Earl Gaines
The years covered on WestSide's 1999 compilation Lovin' Blues: The Starday-King Years 1967-1973 are not necessarily among Earl Gaines' best-known or most-celebrated sides. The singles he cut in the late '50s and early '60s, primarily for Excello, form the core of his legacy, but this music is high-grade Southern soul all the same. It's in a ...

Hank Ballad has one of the true great voices in rock. With his series of "Annie" songs, he got typecast into writing and recording upbeat dancers and shufflers, though he could still deliver bone-chilling ballads. King Records' executives weren't crazy when they made "Tear Drops on Your Letter" and "The Twist," its flip. The former is a riveting ...

Jackie DeShannon was one of the most interesting figures to come out of the Los Angeles pop scene of the 1960s -- she had a superb voice, she was a truly gifted songwriter, she had a keen ear for talent (she helped to discover both Randy Newman and the Byrds), and her instincts in the recording studio were all but faultless. If she wasn't a top ...

Contrary to what the exploitative title might have you believe, this was not recorded during a Beatles tour (though Jackie DeShannon was an opening act on their 1964 North American tour), or even a live album.

Taking their name from Richard Lester's swinging London classic The Knack and How to Get It and their sound from the Kinks, the Knack captured a certain vibe from mid-'60s Britain -- which isn't quite the same thing as making an impact at the time. One of the charms of the Knack is that they were so of their time that they don't quite transcend ...
