Snockgrass

Fact: Michael Hurley (a.k.a. “Snock”) is a drastically, under-appreciated American folk singer. With a voice reminiscent of Hank Williams and a songwriting style rooted in country & western, bluegrass and the blues, Hurley has been issuing stellar material since the early 1960’s.

Now

This is a very interesting recording. Bhagavan Das sings traditional kirtans and bhajans, or devotional songs, from India, and his performance shows his deep familiarity with these traditions while simultaneously…ms, organs, and conch shells.

I’ve only had a chance to listen to this album once so far—but I’m very much looking forward to listening to it again….

What also works in this film’s favor is that we have a collection of some of the Monkees best recorded material. Mickey Dolenz sings two lazing and beautiful Carole King compositions along wit…

Twentieth Century

John Barrymore and Carole Lombard star in, what some site as the first screwball comedy, Twentieth Century. The film’s director, Howard Hawks, who delivered several box office smashes in the…erratic behavior, Jaffe manages to mold this unknown into a household name. He also dictates that her household name shall be “Lily Garland”. Once Garland has attained fame and fortune, she no longer needs the temperamental Oscar Jaffe in her life. As a result, the producer soon falls on hard times. Not only does he realize that he needs Garland back in his life for professional reasons, he discovers that he’s madly in love with the starlet! His…
