Jo Jo Gunne was a great early 70s band. This video uses Gunne’s “Run run run” as the soundtrack to Gump’s running. It is really nicely done.

Ah yeah the 60s. Lotsa stuff that you hear on oldies stations – and more that you won’t hear. Cat Mother (and the Good Old Newsboys) was a cool band from New York City.  They were connected to such greats as Buffalo Springfield, The Band and Jimi Hendrix to name a few greats.

From 1968 – Good Ol Rock and Roll

Sans doubte, c’est une classique.
Esse álbum, lançado em 1972, é o ápice do Wishbone Ash.

Wishbone was a leader in music of the day. Formed in Devon, England, they had style baby. From the 1972 album classic Argus:
