Paul McCartney/Wings - Wild Life (1971)

I tend to be a Macca apologist and enjoy his whimsy from "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" to "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" but not much positive to say about "Bip Bop" and some other tunes here. Wing's first but a big step down from Ram. Paul would do better.

Was this a Faul from grace?

Faul is Dead

Neil Young - Harvest (1972)

Welcome to 1972

Terry Callier - What Color is Love (1972)

Excellent choice! Great voice (and wonderful album cover)

D.R. Hooker - The Truth (1972)

First listen - in fact, I hadn't heard of this album prior. Lesser known psych album that seems like it would fit in 5 years early with the Airplane and other Cali groups. Cover is hilarious - Jesus rocking out. Not bad actually.

D.R. Hooker sounded like if Quicksilver Messenger Service had an LSD overdose on those Merry Pranksters "Acid Tests" and then, they also included a lot of psychedelic effects on their recordings, including backward tapes and other stuff, aside from the cipollinesque leads.

I understand the reference, but I don't think Pat Cipollone would.

P. S. I may need to give this a listen.

Bread - Baby I'm-a-Want-You (1972)

Interesting pick from Mojo - personally if we're picking a Bread album, I think On the Waters is a better album...but I'm-A-Not-Wanting to include a Bread album in Zeeba's Core Collection

This pick is toast.

Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (1971)

Isaac Hayes - Black Moses (1971)

Great choice! While one could quibble about putting Hot Buttered Soul here instead of this one, 18 minutes of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is a challenge for the Ike-unitiated. Though a double album, this is quite accessible
(this album and Nilsson's actually 1971 - just doing the order of the list)

J.J. Cale - Naturally (1971)

Don McLean - American Pie (1971)

Remember as a young tike having the title track on 45 rpm which divides the song in half - I still hear it today with a nonexistent pause where you'd flip the disc

Sounds like American Democracy.

One of my all time faves. Chris Hillman somehow managed to bring out the best solo work Stills ever did. Alas, lightning only struck this one time.
