BOC have been my #1 top band since I was 14. But these guys are a close second. I have every last one of their albums (thanks to a boxed set that filled in a TON of gaps for albums that were imports only), as I do with BOC. Unfortunately my live album boxed set I have of theirs is missing. So im watching live performances of them on YouTube.

Echoes of David LaFlamme and It's A Beautiful Day.I had the Moontan record but didn't listen to it much.

It's one of their proggiest for sure. Between 1969 and 1978 they put out great album after great album with incredible consistency. Moontan is a runaway favorite, but I especially love Eight Miles High

From that same album. The lead singer Barry Hay is a multi-instrumentalist, and typically played rhythm guitar, flute, or saxophone. This song is a more elaborately reworked version of a song they had done on a previous album. Sort of like a Red and the Black to I'm On The Lamb situation.

I love these guys. Bought their debut album this year and also a 4 song digital EP which included a studio version of this. These two are so freaking talented and I love the revival of soul music that has been so prevalent lately. It reminds me of sitting with my dad in the living room as a kid. He used to play lots of different types of music, but especially a lot of soul from Motown and Stax Records, Detroit and Memphis. Anyway, between these guys and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, I've been really enjoying this Soul revival lately.

That's damn good.I saw Campbell on his farewell tour and he was terrific.Loved him as a singer and of course he was the most prolific studio guitarist in history.One of his first records was this great version that became a hit later for The Vogues:

I’m over Alice’s Restaurant, now I’m all about Nina Simone’s Sinnerman, which is not heard until recently for some reason.
