Kathy Burch - Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll [Pork Records 1980]

 

Kathy Burch's Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll was recorded in Dayton, Ohio in 1980. This album is a mix-match of different styles featuring some folk-country-esque tunes, rock pop, piano ballads and smooth jazz/soft rock grooves. The #1 hit on this record is Stoned Kitties, a song all about cats high on cat nip, which should of made Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll a platinum selling record.

I couldn't find much info on Kathy Burch, but I did search on youtube to see if anybody put Stoned Kitties up and I came across a these videos:

Kathy Burch Simpson is still wowing audiences with "Stoned Kitties" with her band The Jewells. She also has a website where you can buy Stoned Kitties mugs and Girls Don't Play Rock & Roll!

The LP is only $5!

Robert Richard - Banty Rooster Blues [Barrelhouse Records 1977]

  

Found at a flea market after much digging, Banty Rooster Blues is a humble recording featuring Robert Richard playing his harp and singing old Detroit Hastings Street Blues.  Unfortunately this is the only LP Robert Richard ever put out, although he was featured on many Detroit blues records, particularly those of Bobo Jenkins (who he mentions in the song "Old Detroit").

The linear notes put it best:
"There is no fancy recording technique and no real practice. Just a couple of pints, a lot of memories of old Detroit. . .Get yourself a pint of whiskey and join in on the session, this is how it used to be in Old Detroit."
