with Ds. Jan Verlinde,
current vicar of pastor of the PKN church of Axel, NL

Ds Jan Scharp was a protestant pastor in Axel, NL. He wrote this epitaph for his deceased catholic colleague and friend Johannes van der Walle in 1786. Scharp was condemned for writing such praise for his catholic friend but he stood firmly by his poem. This video was shot in the church where Scharp used to preach and feat Ds. Jan Verlinde who is the current pastor here. This is the first time this epitaph has been set to music, using a hymn also written by Scharp as interlude.

Lyrics:
I had near
Forgotten everything
When I heard you
Doing nothing in the rain

And I am filled
With wonder once again
Yeah, I am filled
With wonder once again

How this world
Can keep a man in chains
Yeah, how this world
Sure can keep a man in chains

But I am filled
With wonder once again
Yeah, I’m filled with wonder once again
Yeah, I’m filled with wonder once again
Yeah, I’m filled with wonder once again
Yeah, I’m filled with wonder once again

John Braheny’s rare “Some Kind Of Change” LP issued on the small Pete label out of Los Angeles in 1968 has the unusual distinction of existing like a psychedelic skeleton in his closet. He never made another record, this one is still largely under the radar even for long time deep divers into buried treasure from the vintage ‘60s era. He actually became quite famous behind-the-scenes in the songwriting and music biz as the top dog LA songwriting coach for people like Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, Janis Ian, Stephen Bishop and countless others including one of the most successful hit songwriters of all time, Diane Warren, for whom he critiqued 150 songs when she was 15 years old. You gotta wonder if he played his LP for any of them back in the day or hid it away since it is pretty far out underground stuff, perhaps too far out if your life’s work is steering budding songwriters towards the top of the charts. It is a full on psychedelic classic to my ears. every track a winner, with an unusual blend of earthy folk rock veering off into otherworldly atmospheres. Though not a concept album it hangs together like a journey, the psychedelia peaking with an epic extended final track in classic late ‘60s underground mind expansion style.
John Braheny was born in Iowa on December 9, 1938, first appearing on the early ‘60s LA folk scene and gigging around the folk circuit out west, there is easily findable video of him on the internet performing live in Vancouver in 1965 if you wanna hear him before the psychedelics kicked in. One of the remarkable things about the LP is that he also produced it, indicating no compromise in getting what was in his head captured on tape the way he wanted it. His arrangements are elaborate, bursting with creativity without losing focus, the songs are warm and human at the core with his innovative use of electronics and effects taking them to uncanny places. He’s a proto singer-songwriter foreshadowing the emergence of that LA scene via a side trip through the Twilight Zone. Familiar and mysterious simultaneously. This psychedelic skeleton in John’s closet is in my personal pantheon of the best late ‘60s LA solo artist mind blowers right along with very different sounding but astonishing LPs by Darius, Arthur Lee Harper, Damon and the likes.

The players on the album include Rick Cunha on guitar and help with production, he made some LPs of his own. Lisa Kindred on backing vocals came out of the folk scene and is best known for the LP she made with notorious cult leader Mel Lyman in 1969 on Reprise Records titled ‘The Lyman Family with Lisa Kindred – American Avatar’. Bass, drums, trombone, trumpet are provided by session musicians with backgrounds in west coast jazz… Don Waldron on tuba is an unusual credit for a psychedelic LP but he also appears on albums by Frank Zappa, Dr. John, and It’s A Beautiful Day. One of the two bassists is Colin Cameron who also appears on the rare psychedelic Richard Twice LP on Philips Records. John Braheny plays guitar, violin, does the lead vocals and the way out experimental electronics that kick this record into a higher key.

John’s first visibility as a songwriter in the world at large came with his song “December Dream” which is the opening track on the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt LP ‘Evergreen Vol. 2’ also issued in 1968. Soon after he founded the Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase with Len Chandler, published the Songwriters Musepaper, did radio on Pacifica flagship station KPFK, and wrote what is considered the ‘songwriter’s bible’ the book ‘The Craft And Business Of Songwriting’ in 1988 for which he is best known. It is still in print. He was known around the biz as “the songwriter’s best friend” and the ‘Some Kind Of Change’ LP merely a footnote in his career. For us psych heads, however, it is one helluva dosed footnote! Several promo 45s were issued at the time so the label did try to work it, without success. The arc is long but this arrow flies higher than ever 56 years on!

RidingEasy Records, bringing you the best rocknroll, psych, doom and heavy music on the planet.

Freddie J Watts’ ‘Sweet Lady’ let’s you know how good longing can feel, in his ode to the unknown of unrequited love the Brighton based musician showcases the maturity and prowess of his songwriting in his new single

Freddie J Watts is a dark horse within the Brighton music scene and when it comes to writing great songs, this definitely isn’t his first rodeo. Having toured and performed with the likes of Wax Machine and (more recently) Rokurokubi, he is now firmly set on conjuring something distinctly his own – marrying British Psychedelia, American Folk and elements of Alternative/Indie.

Like drinking in the last hours of a balmy summer’s night, Freddie’s dark rich resonant vocals carries you across a finely crafted arrangement, for a ride of romantic reverie, bliss and wonder. Boasting a rich lineup of local talent – including members of the hotly tipped New Eves and Daisy Rickman – this track pulls together some of Brighton finest musicians. Awash with nostalgia and sentimentality and yet far from being contrived and twee, ‘Sweet Lady’ is a song of romance that feels both familiar and surprisingly fresh. “Bright as the full moon/ But as distant as the setting sun” hints at Freddie’s symbolic lyricism and the feeling of push and pull that gives the track an ever rising sense of tension and release, like waves breaking on soft moonlit shores, the song holds a profound reflective quality.

Recorded and mixed by Wax Machine’s very own Lau Ro, the single’s sound echoes a love affair with the golden age of American record making and doesn’t fall short in its delivery.

Kevin Morby – Campfire (4-Track Demo)

Band founder Kevin Ridley adds about the track:
“Once I got into the flow of writing and recording the album, things came together quite quickly. Like with this track. When I came across an old poem (by Abraham Cowley) called ‘Drinking’, I thought folk-metal and drinking, what could possibly go wrong? Again, this song has a big chorus and I thought it would be good to ask all the people playing on the album to add some backing vocals and do a little video of themselves recording it so we could make it into a video. This was so successful that I decided to do a different mix of the track for the video. So, you have the ‘Theigns mix’ for the video (which is shorter) and the ‘Thralls mix’ (which is the album version). This mix also contains the ‘drunken guitarist’ intro, which you might witness at gigs. It is a BIG song with lots of players on it, including Emilio (Souto) on guitar, Jonne (Järvelä) on mandolin and Dave (Briggs) on whistle. It’s a bit of a ‘a folk-metal anthem’, hopefully.”

Theigns & Thralls is the brainchild of Skyclad vocalist and songwriter Kevin Ridley. Originally, it was intended to be an ‘occasional band’ to perform songs from Ridley’s back catalogue of songs from Skyclad and his solo album while working around Skyclad’s touring plans. However, when the 2020 global pandemic struck, his plans changed. Being stuck in lockdown, the project became a collaborative recording project building on a few demo ideas. At first, musician friends were contacted to add a bit of violin here and a whistle there. But then things gathered momentum and friends of friends were also asked and players across Europe joined to contribute. The response was, to say the least, overwhelmingly positive and, in the end, twenty-five musicians from bands such as Korpiklaani, Ensiferum, Cruachan, Waylander, Celtibeerian, and Metal De Facto as well as solo musicians (new and old acquaintances of Ridley) contributed everything from drums, bass, guitar, violin, whistles, bagpipes to hurdy-gurdy and vocals.

“I think that because a lot of the album was written and recorded in a fairly short space of time, there is a certain feel and continuity to it. There is a blend of Celtic Speed-Punk, Folk-Metal and Classic Rock influences. Added to that, in terms of lyrical content, there is a strong appreciation of history, literature and humanism that comes together.” adds Ridley.

The name Theigns & Thralls (which basically means masters and servants) was settled on and it was also decided to make an eponymous album so that Theigns & Thralls was the band’s name, the name of the album, and the name of one of the songs. This was to help clarify the band’s ’mission’ or ‘raison d’etre’.

As well as putting out the album and videos, the next phase of the band’s evolution will be to put together a ‘touring band’ when permitted, not only to do what was originally intended, but also to perform the new original songs – perhaps with a few guest artist appearances – and to become a force in their own right.

Recommended for fans of Skyclad, Cruachan, Fiddlers Green, Flogging Molly, and Volbeat, Theigns & Thralls’ self-titled album is due out April 8, 2022 via Rockshots Records.

Their next anticipated record “War of The Jewels” is due out March 19th, 2021 (CD+Digital) (Vinyl – June 12th) via Rockshots Records, which sees the band take an interesting evolution in sound from previous releases. Ainur will completely immerse fans in J.R.R.Tolkien’s war atmospheres. They have imagined every story and every battle and recreate them through unique and deep music.

The compositional process of “War of The Jewels” has been very long. It started in 2009 (or maybe before) and it ended more or less last year. Ainur sees it as their “rebirth” album. They have been working hard composing and arranging their music to create the best tribute to Tolkien’s histories that they can.
