Country Rock "Widened San Andreas Fault" - Study

Way cool dude Tom Pacheco has been FoamFeatured© antecedently, as part of one of the bands called Euphoria (search function is your friend), and here he is again, with his swell solo album from 1976 - I'm just guessing here - Ed? [not in the mood since that coracle stunt - Ed.] Produced by Hall O' Foam© inductee Thomas Jefferson Kaye, it features just about all the musicians you used to squint for in the credits back when you didn't need reading glasses. Also, story-telling, appealing humor, and gruff grandpa vocals. Like not there what to is?

Also included are his earlier album with Sharon Alexander, and ...

... another chance to pick up the Euphoria album, should you have been so remiss as to have missed it first time around. Fine listening for the weekend, compadores!

    1. Oooofffff!!!! That was quick! I'll loadup when I finish greasin' th' hog's boils.

      Note startling change in his vox for the Outsider album.

      As ever, if anyone has any more, or wants to loadup better quality rips, you'll be very welcome. Interesting guy!

    3. I hope that, after hearing these low quality rips, the Four Or Five Guys© will want to own the real thing at high quality. Same goes for everything else here. As to cheapskatery ... you've hooked stuff out of the surf here yourself, right?

    4. Thank goodness for that, Pop! This is a touchy area.

    5. Funny*. That's exactly what Foghorn Leghorn was overheard saying when he mistakenly entered a massage parlor after confusing it for a barn dance.

      * Or "NOT!"

  2. While we're here, let's see what our favorite whining bitch snotweasel rock crit has to say:

    "TOM PACHECO: Swallowed Up in the Great American Heartland (RCA Victor) Harry Chapin meets Waylon Jennings and guess who cornholes who. Or: I do too love America, that's why I hate what it's become. Or: this land is your land, this land is my land, from the Armadillo to the Rikers Island. C"

  4. The empty blue sky of Pacheco and Alexander's elpee cover is just crying out for a talented graphic artist to add a few flying (and falling) objects: the Mad Magazine dirigible, some festive fireworks, King Kong on the horizon.

    Maybe even a Shriner's cap on Pacheco's head and a Monkees badge on his lapel, while Myra Nussbaum rests a motherly bosom on his shoulder.

  5. Okay - who voted for "withered dry bitter"? Step forward.

  6. Believe it or not, I saw Tom perform in a church basement in Birmingham, MI sometime back in the eighties. It was some kind of concert series that someone hosted and had nothing to do with the church. I had never heard of him prior to this, but enjoyed him enough to buy a cd from him!

    1. I love to get these "I saw the guy" comments. Tom seems to have had a long and consistently obscure career. I like him very much, and I would totally buy his albums if I had th' wherewithal (I ain't as rich as I write).

    2. I had never heard of Tom prior to this. If I remember correctly, the wife and I went to see him on a whim, nothing better to do that evening, etc., and we both were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed ourselves and Tom's music immensely.
