QM: Dan was part of the San Francisco music scene in the late 60s. After
four albums, he worked his way up to be on the cover of the Rolling
Stone, then abruptly disbanded the group. This is perhaps his most
recognizable song. Thomas Dolby also did an interesting version of this.
Listeners should check YouTube for the Thomas Dolby - I Scare Myself
(Edit) (2009 Digital Remaster).
#T2) Mickey Newbury: "Wrote A Song A Song/Angeline" (1969) [-] {-}
QM: From his "Looks Like Rain" album (a QM personal favorite), the first of
three albums that were considered revolutionary and influential to the
'outlaw cowboy' movement and for their production recording techniques.
His best known work may be "An American Trilogy" which would become an
Elvis concert staple. San Francisco Mabel Joy from this album became his
most honored song, but this cut may capture his recording techniques a
little better. As a songwriter, Mickey simultaneously had four Top 10
songs on four different charts in the late 60s, including Just Dropped
In... by the First Edition. His work was recently re-mastered and added
to iTunes. His Wikipedia page is an excellent source for further
information.
