Michael Blount 1970 to 1972: Patchwork, Souvenirs

 







This obscure British SSW put out 3 albums in the early part of the decade of the seventies.
The music is quite professionally played with the usual (George Martin-like) arrangements one expects from these albums but relatively simple in melody and craft, a bit like the earliest James Taylor or Jim Croce with some bluegrass, countryish stuff.  As might be expected the second album is a little bit better formed and more mature, with the first marred a little in my opinion by some really atrociously silly lyrics, I guess we can blame Paul McCartney's tendency for nonsense music hall compositions for that (eg. Maxwell's Silver Hammer). Although even on the second album there's a track called "My Mom Ma"...

Blue River No. 2 from the first album:
