One of the most iconic album covers of all time. And I think it’s the only album cover the artist ever did!
In the title, “Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon (Make Me Smile) / So Much To Say, So Much To Give” the name of the town was misspelled. It was supposed to be Buckhannon (WV)

With Emmylou I always come back to Luxury Liner which I consider her masterpiece.
Both of those songs are from 1969. Here's my most-listened to album of 1969: Miles Davis - In a Silent Way. I still remember every note.
Not bad.
Part of the first track, where the angry electric guitar bursts for about 30 seconds, immediately after the drum roll, was used on SNL to introduce Will Farrell’s Satan into a skit.
Just took a trip down the Tommy Bolin/James Gang/Deep Purple ‘rabbit hole’...thanks!
Speaking of Hawkwind, anyone who loves author Micheal Moorcock’s “Elric” saga and prog music must track down their live set called “Live Chronicles.” It’s a rock opera of the Elric saga. Absolutely amazing! Check out the song “Moonglum” on youtube to get a taste of what the whole album is like!
In more ways than one....
I hear Rory Gallagher on “Celtic Crush” by Larry Kirwan. I like it.
Nuerotica, Elephant Talk, and Three of a Perfect Pair are probably my favorite songs from that period of King Crimson.
Along with Alison there was Scott Muni, Pete Fornatale, Dennis Elsas, Vin Scelsa, Richard Neer, Jonathan Schwartz and, after his late-night TV horror movie stint and before he moved to PLJ, John Zacherle.
WNEW had quite the DJ line-up,
I’ll adjust my meds and get back to ya! :)
I will, however, see your Crimson King and raise you a “Songs from the Wood”. :) :)
“Drama” is one of my favorite prog albums and among Yes’ best albums. It’s a team effort but you get the sense that it’s Chris Squire’s album. Very heavy and some incredible bass playing. “Could It Really Happen?”, “Run Through the Light”, and “Tempus Fugit” are stellar tunes.
Hey, I’m just a more straighforward kind of prog-rock listener. You start getting into the more esoteric and ethereal messages and mindset, and you leave me by the side of the road, dead. I was a Yes listener from Tormato to Big Generator. Hawkwind’s most notable single was ‘Silver Machine’, sung by Lemmy Kilminster, he of Motorhead infamy. I’m a closet Krautrock fan, although I gotta have a good buzz on and be in the frame of mind to listen to Kraftwerk. I can go from Roy Clark to Bach to Iron Maiden, depending on what suits my mood. It’s like some cosmic god is swapping out floppy discs in my head to reprogram my personal software. LOL
Never heard of Danny Glatton before. Checked out an interview of him on YouTube, then watched one of him preforming ‘Sleepwalk’. I can see why he reminds you of Roy. Quite a few parallels there! Talent and tragedy.
In guitar circles Gatton is considered one of the great masters, but he never got much traction with a wider audience.
Here he is doing the Perry Mason theme:

I wonder if he’s related to Danny Kirwan.
Here’s Danny and Peter Green killing it with Fleetwood Mac circa 1968:

I guess you’re entitled to your opinion. Then again, I have an almost unhealthy fascination with Ritchie Blackmore.
As a player at least - from what I’ve heard, he’s a real dick.
