HIGHLIGHT ** IN DE KIJKER

TERRY REID
“A teen prodigy of sorts, Reid had turned professional at the age of 15 to join Peter Jay & the Jaywalkers. His first couple of singles as a headliner found him singing in a sort of poppy blue-eyed soul vein. But by the time of his 1968 debut Bang, Bang You’re Terry Reid, produced by Mickie Most, he’d switched to more of a hard rock approach. Most was also handling Donovan and the Jeff Beck Group at the time, and similarities to both of those acts can be heard in Terry Reid’s first two albums — proto-hard rock on the louder tunes, sweeter folk-rock on the mellow ones (Reid in fact covered a couple of Donovan compositions, although he wrote most of his own material). Reid’s high voice was reminiscent of Robert Plant’s, though not nearly as shrill, and his folky numbers especially are reminiscent of Led Zeppelin’s most acoustic early cuts”.

EVERGREEN BLUES
” (…) Released as a single, “Midnight Confessions” received some airplay around the country, even becoming a hit record in Florida.  Ironically, shortly thereafter The Grass Roots recorded a virtually identical version of the song and it became a major hit record.  That was a heartbreaking experience for Evergreen Blues.  However, they got up, dusted themselves off, and did a second album with ABC Records called “Comin’ On.”  It included mostly original songs written by various band members.  It also had two more L.T. Josie songs and a cover of Otis Redding’s version of “Try a Little Tenderness.”  This was likely before Three Dog Night covered  it and had their first mega hit.  In fact, Evergreen Blues opened for Three Dog Night, who’s manager asked Evergreen Blues not to play “Try a Little Tenderness.”  They went ahead and played it anyway.  Good for them”.   Source / All Rights Reserved: http://rockasteria.blogspot.com/2019/04/evergreen-blues-comin-on-1969-us.html
