The postman got me out of bed at about 8.15 am, for this. I’m back abed now. I’d love to have done an unboxing video on these. But tired as I am, this post’ll have to suffice.
These three CDs, all from the early to mid ‘70s, by Charles Kynard, and on Bob Shad’s Mainstream label, came in a pretty large box. They were kind of swimming around inside. But at least they were well packed, and appear to have arrived in perfect order.
This post is merely about the excitement the arrival of these CDs causes me. I’ll review the contents in due course. Meantime, here are the backs:
Some rather odd titles on this eponymous 1971 release.
More doo-doo-doings. Chuck appears to have had a thing for this kinda shit!
This – ‘73s Your Mama Don’t Dance – is the album, a copy of which my dad acquired on vinyl, many many moons ago, which introduced me to Kynard and his music.
Another connection I made with him, that I forgot to mention till now, is that he appears on Tom Waits’ superb Blue Valentines album, as well (on ‘Romeo is Bleeding’ and ‘Wrong Side of The Road’).
