Music I’m Listening To: LAMB – A Sign of Change [Complete Album].

Lamb was a San Francisco-based rock group who appeared at the famed Fillmore Auditorium several times in the early 70s. The band was formed by Texan singer Barbara Mauritz and guitarist Bob Swanson.

Says Wikipedia: “Their debut album on the Fillmore label, A Sign of Change, was perhaps their most uncompromising and experimental, relying largely on jazz-folk acoustic arrangements and spotlighting Mauritz’s impressive voice on impressionistic, dream-like lyrics.”

The album has been released on CD but is out of print. Be prepared to pay $40 and up.

SELECTED BY MICHAEL SHONK:

Beth Hart is one of those singers you wonder why she is not more famous. There seems to be an endless number of her songs on YouTube. It is hard to pick just one to play. Her range and genres of music is as wide as her voice is impressive, from her Janis Joplin-like rock (“Am I the One”) to the pop of “My California,” from soul songs such as “Halfway to Heaven” to the Tom Waits cover “Chocolate Jesus,” from blues (“Baddest Blues”) to jazz (“Jazz Man”). But this is what I picked, from her album Screaming for My Supper:

“Skin.” Composed by Beth Hart (vocals and piano).
