Album Review
CAPTAIN SAO AND HIS SHIP OF FOOLS
THE COWSILLS-MGM SE 4554.
Happy singing from the family singing
group that must have some time
around the dinner table. Wes Farrell,
Bob and Bill Cowsill produced the package.
"Indian Lake" and a host of new
tunes like "Bridge" mark a top package.
Solos by all.

Notes From The Underground
SHE is not into extreme hard rock. As a matter of fact her format
falls somewhere between extreme radio
experimentation and Top 40. Probably lots
closer to Top 40. What program director Ron
Elz prefers to call progressive, if he has to
define it. For instance regular charting of the
top 97 singles and top 97 albums, 97 being the
stations frequency spot. Last week the singles
included what amounted to a semi -1 hard derivation
of national charts, naturally leaving
out the Vintons, Cowsills and Gary Lewises:
"Hello, I Love You," Doors; "Sunshine of Your
Love," Cream; "You Keep Me Hangin' On,"
Vanilla Fudge; "Journey to the Center of My
Mind," Amboy Dukes; "Born to Be Wild,"
Steppenwolf; "Pictures of Matchstick Men,"
Status Quo; "Animal," the Tokens; "Hurdy
Gurdy Man," Donovan; "Light My Fire," Jose
Feliciano; and "On the Road Again," Canned
Heat.
