Of the 13 songs, most are original compositions, but there are a few well chosen covers, Michael Smith’s ‘The Dutchman’ being the pick of them, it’s a great song and Russell delivers it perfectly.

Ron Elliott 'Candlestick Maker' "Featuring future Burrito Brother Chris Ethridge, jazzman Bud Shank and Ry Cooder among other top-notch LA sessionmen, 'The Candlestickmaker' delved deeper into the rootsy, reflective vein of the Beau Brummels’ last two LPs, Needless to say, this album sunk like a stone when it was released, but as the most single ambitious effort by one of the ‘Sixties’ most underrated songwriters, it’s essential listening" £11.99.

Wizards From Kansas "These guys sorta
combined mid-period Airplane and Quicksilver inflections, with a healthy dose and understanding of country music" (From borderlinebooks.com:)
"This was an obscure country-influenced band whose sole album contained fine versions of classic period songs High Flying Bird and Buffy St. Marie's Codlne, as well as some excellent original compositions notably Misty Mountainside, Country Dawn and She Rides With Witches. The band exhibited a fine range of harmonies, and were indeed from Kansas! The album is recommended and is a significant minor collectable"
