Many great musicians were featured on his records: Duane Allman, Sonny Sharrock and Roy Ayers, to name a few.holycownychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219205992431281163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18548915.post-22470694326632923412008-02-13T18:30:00.000-05:002008-02-13T18:30:00.000-05:00It is indeed a real record album. And you're right...It is indeed a real record album. And you're right, it was very important to a certain group of people. Alix Dobkin cut her teeth in the New York City Folk Music Scene of the 1960's. For a while she was a favorite of Bob Dylan's, and played all the clubs on the folk circuit. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you appreciated the internal rhymes of bulldozer and he shows her. It's quite brilliant. Alix is a careful and crafty songwriter, a fan of American Musical Comedy as well as the Folk Tradition.<BR/><BR/>The title "Lesbian Power Authority" came about because there was a proposed Nuclear Power Plant for the region - upstate NY, and Alix and friends were anti nuke activists and it was a play on that theme.<BR/><BR/>Living With Lesbians was just one of several albums Alix released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18548915.post-23267648482670351652008-02-12T08:42:00.000-05:002008-02-12T08:42:00.000-05:00Couldn't make this up either. . .Couldn't make <A HREF="http://mac.easthouston.net/thehound/19920321/mp3s/start25.mp3" REL="nofollow">this</A> up either. . .Will Dividehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877416158115540051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18548915.post-89309009171553225332008-02-11T19:50:00.000-05:002008-02-11T19:50:00.000-05:00Are you kidding?
