New #review today: "When Dave Terry (AKA Elmer Gantry) left #ElmerGantrysVelvetOpera in 1969, remaining band members #JohnFord and #RichardHudson were unhappy with losing their vocalist. So they enlisted #PaulBrett and #JohnnyJoyce, shortened the name to #VelvetOpera, and changed their musical direction, the result being Ride a Hustler’s Dream, a mixed bag of music ranging from #FolkRock to #BluesRock to #RagaRock." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/velvet-opera-ride-a-hustlers-dream-6.html

New #review today: "In the latter half of the 60s, things were moving very fast, and the trends in popular music were certainly no exception—what seemed hip one day could be laughably obsolete only six months later, and a lot of fine music never even got noticed. The debut by #ElmerGantrysVelvetOpera was one such release, never quite getting the attention it rightfully deserved in mid-1968 amid all the #PsychedelicPop wanabees of the day." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/elmer-gantrys-velvet-opera-elmer-gantrys-velvet-opera-3.html
