JASON FALKNER:  "CAN YOU STILL FEEL?"

Jason was the guitarist on the Jellyfish breakout album "BELLYBUTTON" and has several solo albums, but this album is a power pop masterpiece and his debut album,

"PRESENTS  AUTHOR UNKNOWN",  is another interesting power pop gem. This guy is worth a listen!

@audioman74: In case you are a Jason Faulkner completist and don't know about it: Before Jellyfish, Faulkner was in a group named The Grays, who had one album on Epic Records. I heard it when it was released, but didn't like it enough to buy.

Fellow Grays member Jon Brion of course went on to become a well known producer (Aimee Mann, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple, soundtracks---including the great film Hard Eight).

I finally secured the album Sweet Dreams And Quiet Desires (Avalanche Records, 1973) by the Country Rock trio Borderline, after learning of its existence from Hedley (Another Fat Bearded Man Talking About Records on YouTube), in his "Five Of The Best Country Rock Albums You’ve Never Heard" (part 1) video. This British chap Hedley really knows his stuff, check him out.

One member of Borderline was Jim Rooney, who went on to greater success as a producer (he produced this album), including those for Nanci Griffith (Other Voices, Other Rooms, a fantastic album for which he won a Grammy), Iris DeMent (her debut Infamous Angel), John Prine (Aimless Love), Townes Van Zandt, Hal Ketchum and Bonnie Raitt. Wow.

For those of you who look for album credits, here are some of the musicians who play on the album:

- Ben Keith on pedal steel (Patsy Cline---he played on "I Fall To Pieces"!, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Willie & Waylon, Warren Zevon, and Jewel--- he produced her debut album. Damn ;-).

- John Simon on piano (producer of the first two Band albums, the first B, S & T, Big Brothers’ Cheap Thrills, Leonard Cohen’s debut).

- Billy Mundi on drums (Mothers Of Invention, Tim Buckley, Geoff & Maria Muldaur).

- Dave Sanborn on sax (you know him as David).

- Vassar Clements on fiddle (Flatt & Scruggs, Stephane Grappelli, Dave Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band).

Not too shabby;-) .
