Every time there’s a “What are your five favorite albums” thread, or a “Best record no one’s ever heard of” thread, I proselytize about “Hollywood Dream” by Thunderclap Newman (1969). So I was delighted today when I logged on the All Music Guide to see that “Hollywood Dream” is today’s featured album! link
Quoting Dave Thompson’s review: “So many bands have been hauled out of obscurity to be tagged the greatest secret you’ve never been told. Thunderclap Newman are one of the few who actually deserve that epithet.”
Just so. If all you know about Thunderclap Newman is their monster hit from 1969, “Something in the Air,” you owe yourself this album. It’s unbelievable!
