Jon Corneal releases new CD

Jon Corneal - an ex-drummer for The Legends, The International Submarine Band and The Flying Burrito Brothers (all three bands featuring Gram Parsons) as well as for Dillard And Clark - has just released a new CD titled HIGH COUNTRY.

He also drummed for Hal Wallis, The Wilburn Brothers, Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells, Connie Smith, Warren Zevon, The Glaser Brothers and more.

The new album was recorded at Tim Kelliher's (aka Buster Cousins) studio in Orlando, Fl., who recorded it, and did the guitar and bass on it as well. 

Nice mix of Jon's original tunes and some classic country.

His Facebook page is at  https://apps.z.facebook.com/JonCornealCountryRock/?hc_location=ufi

Although the back of the CD mentions that it is available on Jon’s website at joncorneal.com, we’re  just unable to reach that page.

More info coming soon as to where to order it.

Thanks to David for the info and the pics.

Gene Parsons' MELODIES CDs - spot the difference! - UPDATE

Has this difference been mentioned anywhere before?

Of course, now that you see both covers, it’s obvious.

The first image is from the original CD release on John Delgatto’s Sierra Records in 1995.

The second image is from the CD re-release on Gene Parsons’ Stringbender Records in 2001. 

The original LP was released in 1979 on Sierra Records SRS 8703 (image = same as the original Sierra CD).

Update 04/11: Gene Parsons' reaction just reached us:

Hi Raoul,

Hope this email finds you in fine health and spirits.

The image at the top with me facing to the left of the cover was the Sierra issue. The other image was the StringBender re-mastered issue.

Stay well!

Two more unseen pictures of The Byrds 1973 courtesy of Toulouse Engelhardt - Many Thanks To Him

Pictures taken at the Byrds show at Boise State College, Boise, Idaho  1/28/1973, when Toulouse Engelhardt was on tour with them as the band's support act.

Update 04/9: we've had some questions about who the drummer was. The drummer is Dennis Dragon , who went on to curl his hair, color it blond and be a founding member of  The Surf Punks.

Previously unseen flyer of The Byrds concert at Palos Verdes High School, October 29, 1965

This image too was sent to us by Toulouse Engelhardt, who was a student at the college and attended the concert on October 29, 1965.

Many thanks to him.

Many thanks to him.

Newly discoverd Byrds concert dates for 1973

We just received an e-mail from Toulouse Engelhardt:

Hello!

This is Toulouse Engelhardt, finger style acoustic guitarist who recorded for John Fahey's Takoma Records back in the 1970's. I wanted to let you know that I was the support act for The Byrds on many of their final American tour dates in 1973. 

Please add these additional performance dates to your list:

Jan. 27th, 1973   Fine Arts Center, Utah State University, Logan, Utah ( Two sold out shows in one evening)

Jan. 28th, 1973   College Gymnasium, Boise State College, Boise, Idaho

These dates are not mentioned in Christopher Hjort's book from 2008, so these additions are welcome. Thanks, Toulouse. 

Toulouse's CD from 2004 titled "A Child's Guide To The Universe" features John York.
