Tim Weisberg, Part 4: 1979 Night-Rider, 1979 Tip of the Weisberg [compilation], 1980 Party of One, 1981 Travelin' Light

 







Yes, the cover art gets a little ridiculous by the time of "Tip of the Weisberg," admittedly.
And also, given the year, on 1979's Night-Rider! you can expect some very smooth commercialese style fuzak.  Consider Shadows in the Wind recalling very much Dave Grusin and the theme from Taxi, for ex:



Title track of Party of One sounds completely out of place for the year 1980 showing some people, thank god, just don't want to keep up with the zeitgeist:




1981's installment called Travelin' Light has its songwriting credits, quite a mix, on this page.  A very little track called Audrey, written by (someone called) John Jarvis:




After the 1981 album, he went on to make 5 more I didn't bother to listen to, though they might very well be good as his output, consistently, has been worth hearing throughout the decade.  But I didn't have the courage or stamina to pursue the matter any further.

  2. Another deserved than you for posting these flutey albums. Don't think Tim got the real exposure he deserved unlike say Dave Valentin. Some of Tim's early mid 70s material was superb funky listening. NONE of the early catalog was every released on CD except maybe 1-2 albums and a compilation. A real shame as I am sure there are plenty out there who would "dig" discovering Tim's excellent fluting!
