Jim Sullivan 'Plain As Your Eyes Can See'
Came across a recent re-issue of this 'lost' classic album the other day and took a completely uninformed punt on it when the sleeve sticker mentioned a blend of "Memphis swamp-soul, L.A. sunshine pop and Southern California country-rock all filtered through a '60s acid hippy vibe" and wasn't disappointed. In addition to some beautiful, heart-wrenched music, the album comes with extensive sleeve notes about the strange makings of the album (which features members of Phil Spector's famous Wrecking Crew in the backing band) and the very mysterious disappearance and death of Jim Sullivan in the New Mexico desert, which you can read about here. It's an intriguing story.
