Sagittarius LP

Tracking down Usher productions has become something of an obsession for me. He produced a group called The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, which though not incredible, is quite decent. He also worked with Chad & Jeremy on two albums, they seem to have been a real pet project of Usher's, but I really don't care for them. He also put together a really weird spoken word album, The Astrology Album, which tells all about the different signs.

If anybody knows any other good Usher related projects from the later half of the 60s, please share.

You should definately check out the album he produced for the Ship in 1971. It's a kind of concept album about traveling at sea that has a very mellow vibe and tight harmonies. It's for sale on Itunes newly remastered.

Here's some info on the groups website:

This is nice. It's weird, certainly not for everyone, but it's a chill record.

I also got the first Gene Clark solo album, Gene Clark With The Gosdin Brothers, which has Usher as a producer. It's definitely worth checking out.
It's not as crazily good as NBB, but it's got some great melodies, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgMbzm6JICc


I'll also say that The Blue Marble is a really nice LP. It's been growing on me more and more. It's a really lowkey album, but it sounds great, and the songs are all solid.

It took me a while to get into this album, but it grew on me. Song For a Magic Frog is one of my favorites on this
