JIM KWESKIN & THE JUG BAND

See Reverse Side For Title

(Vanguard) Used CD $15.00

On this charming and vastly entertaining recording, the rhythm is hardly an issue. Whether the tempo is fast or slow, everything is as solid as it needs to be in the tradition of the best string bands. Highlights are banjo whiz Bill Keith, fresh off his stint as a bluegrass boy for Bill Monroe, and the vocals of a youthful Maria D’Amato (later Muldaur).

PERREY & KINGSLEY

Kaleidoscopic Vibrations

(Vanguard) Used LP $12.00

One of the first albums released with moog synthesizer on it, dating from 1967, though this 2002 Italian pressing on 180-gram vinyl uses the alternate title and cover art of the 1971 reissue. The duo also plays Ondioline, tape, scissors and recordings of acoustic instruments to create their “electronic music from way out.”
