Of Things Pertaining To MICHAEL DES BARRES! - 80's Vinyl Rip "I'm Only Human" and some recos from recent albums, The House gives a nod to one of the most distinct and powerful voices in rock, 65 and still going strong....THE HORROR!!

Dreamland Records was going down the tubes when
this was released so consequently no promo was
done on this album of 14 great new wave tunes.
Nonetheless, we (everyone in LA) knew who 
he was and flock to his shows at the Starwood;-)

THREE DOG TUESDAY! - Revisiting 1973's "CYAN" easily their most artistic and different album, guitar player Michael Allsup wrote several of the tunes, and the album spawned the mega-hit "Shambala"....THE HORROR!!

was about to enter crash and burn phase, this
LP kind of came out of left field especially
with it's simple cover. Highly recommend!

who belts it out, sheesh, Also great drum work here
by my man Floyd Sneed.
