News – “Hot Off The Press” – [Yoga Records]

This CD is a reissue of a 1974 record that had its beginnings when a 425-pound Marty Kugell approached a Yale band playing on campus in a pitch-dark chapel and said, ???So, ya wanna maik a reckid.??? The rest you can read in the liner notes, but this is a listening experience that is like a trip down memory lane to mellow rock, four-part harmonies (every member of the band sings), pedal-steel guitar-infused songs that recall many popular songs of the time and yet still have their own charm. Be sure to read about how ???Misty Day??? was born and earned its writers an A in a Yale course. Compare the two versions (5 and 12) and see which you prefer.
