Those Woodstock New York area brothers opened my world to a multitude of musical realities that I hadn't known existed prior, and I thank them.

  • These guys were so good, but by 1971 the tide had turned and folk just didn't sell like it had in the 60s. I want to say the music lives on - which it certainly does - but it's hard to swallow when their two incredible albums remain unreleased on CD. (I wonder why they never bought the masters from Capitol, though it would not have been easy, even when you're Bob Dylan's buddy!)

  • The "Double Back" album, released in 1971, is the follow-up to the now considered classic 1969 release "Happy and Artie Traum. "Double

    Back" has a less musically idiosyncratic feel than the earlier album, and was clearly a Nashville studio production. Lyrically, the album ventures less into the vagaries, rythym, feel, and lore of Woodstock, circa 1970, but nonetheless has more than several outstanding tracks, most especially "Cross Examinator", and (my favorite) "The Seagull". Artie- RIP.
