Country Rock Cancer Risk "Overstated" - AMA

Today's hayseed hoedowns come to you courtesy of our new sponsor - Big Irv's Kosher Feed n' Forage Store, Yadkinville, NC. When in Yadkinville, be sure to drop by! There's a 5% discount on out-of-season dry goods if you mention False Memory Foam©!

Pan is a swell album. Gee, is it ever swell. Ron Beau Brummels Elliott is here, and Keith Barbour, whose 1969 album Echo Park I do want. It's from '73, just a couple of years from the end of the 'sixties in '75. Leave a comment if you have more than the bare minimum Discogs information - the only mention I can find of it on the internets - and increase global smartness!


At least Yellow Hand garners an Allmusic review for their lone album from '70 - utterly insignificant, run-of-the-mill, unmemorable. Yeesh. You'll come for for the intriguing Buffalo Springfield covers, including an otherwise unavailable Stills song, but stay for its competent pleasantness, which is sometimes enough.

EDIT: One of you four or five guys has left a link in the comments for a Pan-related album - thanks, Muddy!

  2. Farq - You're quite welcome. Thanks for introducing me to Pan. Never heard of the band. Not a lot of information on them but this provides a tad bit of insight:

    1. Muddy, that probably gives us all the information we're going to get - thanks. I was surprised by Barbour's solo, not having heard Echo Park (the hit single). I can appreciate he had a great set of pipes, but the restraining influence of Ron Elliott was a good thing.
