Buzzy Linhart – Music 1971 Folk-Rock Psychedelic,Garage “Music” was originally released on Artie Kornfeld’s Buddah affiliated Eleuthera Records (catalog ELS 3601). Unfortunately the label collapsed after releasing two albums (an album by the late Bert Sommer and this one), leaving Buddah/Kama Sutra to pick it up and re-issue it as “Buzzy Linhart Is Music”. From a marketing perspective that wasn’t exactly great timing since the album came out almost simultaneously with Linhart’s solo debut “The Time To Live Is Now”. As I said before, for a guy best known for playing vibes, the collection is surprisingly impressive. Linhart had a nice voice that was versatile enough to handle everything from folk-rock to bluesy numbers and even harder-rock oriented material. Starting out with an energetic bluesy cover of long time friend Fred Neil’s “That’s the Bag I’m In”, Linhart and company (with cameos by the likes of David Bromberg and keyboardist Mark Klingman), effortlessly plowed their way through a thoroughly attractive and commercial set of pop and rock numbers. Linhart’s penchant for scat singing (or vamping) is nothing less than irritating and he does a lot of it. Elsewhere Kama Sutra released ‘Talk About a Morning’ b/w ‘Kilptrick’s Defeat’ (Kama Sutra catalog number KS-526) as an instantly forgotten single.
