Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0623.html>, you'll find (among other things):
ASYLUM CHOIR,
Leon Russell in wild band mode, by Kurt Wildermuth
"You've liked much of what you've heard from these sources, so you've acquired a taste for early-'70s pop-rock that carried on late-'60s traditions: the power pop of Badfinger and Big Star; the glam of David Bowie and T. Rex; the folk-rock masterpieces of Neil Young and Joni Mitchell and so on, and so ...Where do you go next, time traveler? Consider visiting the Asylum Choir."
SPIRIT
Their top 10- psych, rock, prog, by Reverend Keith Gordon
"Even in the late 1960's era of innovation and freedom in rock music, Spirit stood head and shoulders above their contemporaries. Perhaps only Arthur Lee's Love shared the same sort of expansive and adventuresome artistic vision as the five guys in Spirit whose disparate and diverse musical backgrounds led the band to explore the outer regions of rock 'n' roll as the band incorporated elements of the blues, folk, R&B, and jazz into their heady brew of psychedelia-tinted hard rock."
BARBRA STREISAND
Her hip early '70's persona, by Robin Cook
"By the early 1970s, two paths were open to Streisand. The first would lead to the same sort of limbo where Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, and Perry Como would be consigned: being dubbed "old fogey" music while the boomers were confusing their parents. Perhaps movie musicals during a decade when they were out of fashion. And, of course, TV commercials for mail-order greatest-hits albums. Instead, Streisand took an off-ramp that read, "HIP SINGER-SONGWRITER MUSIC, EXIT 66."
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
