Personnel: Lene Lovich (vocals, violin, saxophone, trumpet); Les Chappell (vocals, various instruments); Mark Chaplin (bass); Gavin Harison (percussion). Recorded at H.O.M.E., Norfolk, England & RPM Studios, New York, New York. Lene Lovich's Gloria Swanson-in-Sunset Boulevard-like dramatics served her well in the ridiculously made-up & overdressed early '80s. (Her partner-in-crime Les Chappell also resembles Erich Von Stroheim in more than a passing way.) However, by the time MARCH was ...

In 1975 the pop world was dominated by prog rock & disco, a state of affairs that made Leon Redbone's debut ON THE TRACK all the more striking. Everything about the album--the cartoon cover, Redbone's trademark fedora, moustache, & glasses, the music's nostalgic take on jazz & blues--marked it as different.

Leo Kottke - Dreams & All That Stuff

1974's DREAMS AND ALL THAT STUFF is an excellent example of Leo Kottke's mid-period sound, a combination of his early blues and folk influences and the more experimental arenas Kottke explored later on.
