Darrell [1970?]

About as minimal as they come with just an electric guitar, percussion and vocals from this guy doing 14 cover versions in a sparse and garage way. His ballads like "A Hundred Pounds Of Clay", "Everybody's Talking" are loner sounding and he does also songs like "It Never Rains In Southern California", "Games People Play", "Never Ending Love", "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", "etc all in his isolated homemade way. Guess the LP is circa '70 or a little later from the song selection and comes in cool b&w cover with oval pic of him on front on private press D&J # 100. Good listening for that late night lost feel, even on the uptempo tracks which are only marginally uptempo sounding. [PM]
