	Relax Your Mind New - LP - VSD 79188 Sealed 1966 Stereo (Label Variation Unknown). “Released In 1966, Relax Your Mind Finds Jim Kweskin Taking A Break From His Jug Band For A Mellow Solo Effort. He's Joined By Harp Player Mel Lyman And Washtub Bassist Fritz Richmond For What Amounts To A Stripped-Down Jug Band On A Dozen Tracks. Two Of The Tracks, "I Got Mine" And A Long Version Of "Buffalo Skinners," Were Recorded Live At Club 47 In Cambridge. Even Stripped Down, The Arrangements Of Traditional Songs Like "The Cuckoo" Are Quite Lively When Placed Side By Side With The One-Singer/One-Guitar Approach Preferred By Some Revivalists. Kweskin's Guitar And Richmond's Bass Keep Time And Fill In The Background While Lyman Adds Asides And Flourishes To Mississippi John Hurt's "My Creole Belle" And Grandpa Jones' "Eight More Miles To Louisville." Overall, Relax Your Mind Is A Subdued Recording, And Lacks The Irresponsible Hijinks Fans Had Come To Expect From The Jim Kweskin Jug Band. Compared To Other More Traditional Folk With Barebones Arrangements, However, Relax Your Mind Is A Lively Affair. The Album Also Shows That Good Folk Recordings Continued To Be Made After Dylan Supposedly Pulled The Plug On The Folk Revival In 1965.” Ronnie D. Lankford Jr. AMG. more
	What Ever Happened To Those Good Old Days New - LP - VSD 79278 Sealed, Rare 1968 Stereo Original. Small Cut Corner. “Jim Kweskin May Not Have Been A Groundbreaking Instrumentalist Or A Spectacularly Gifted Singer, But He Certainly Was An Entertainer Who Knew How To Get Every Bit Out Of His Repertoire Of American Traditional Music. On This Live Album, The Complete Title Of Which Is What Ever Happened To Those Good Old Days At Club 47 In Cambridge Mass. With Jim Kweskin & His Friends, Kweskin Is Backed Only By His Faithful Sideman Fritz Richmond And By Maria Muldaur On One Track. His Autoharp May Be Slightly Out Of Tune And His Piano Playing A Bit Shaky, But Kweskin Grabs The Audience's Heart On The Very First Track And Keeps It Until The End Of The Album. The Sound Quality Has Its Off Moments Too, But That Doesn't Matter Either, Because As Long As Kweskin Is Bashing Away On That Old-Time Music, All's Right With The World. If There Was Any Doubt That Jim Kweskin Was A Great Showman Even With Minimal Accompaniment, This Album Would Dispel It.” Richard Foss, AMG. more
