Rick Nelson - The later years

[Glen Grant]

Any fans of Ricks later work with the Stone Canyon Band ? I thought
he did some really good stuff in the 68-75 time frame . Garden Party
and Windfall were both really good albums . Any other fans ?

Certainly! Edsel Records have just issued a 2nd volume of their "Rick Nelson and
The Stone Canyon Band" compilation. Besides, "Rick Sings Nelson", "Windfall",
"Rudy the Fifth", and "Garden Party" are all available on cd, while "Stay Young"
comprises his last recordings on Epic.
It still seems kind of impossible to explain why these albums received so little
attention (even after the huge success of the "Garden Party" single!) at the
time of their original release. But then Gene Clark's excellent country rock solo
albums didn't get anywhere just the same. If we'd only known then what we,
perhaps, know (how to indulge in) now! :-)

Delving into this era, and am really enjoying what small amount of material I find from Rick Nelson's later years.

When I delve into this era,I find that Gene Gene the Dancing Machine might very well be the artist defined it, baby!
