Essential Survival Needs: Food, Clothing, Shelter & Intimacy Products for Outdoor Adventures & Emergency Preparedness

John Buck Wilkin"In Search Of Food, Clothing, Shelter And Sex"(Liberty, 1969). . .This was the first solo album by former child and teen country-then-pop star John Wilkin, who was the son of fabled country songwriter Marijohn Wilkin, and was also the lead singer of the mid-1960s surf-pop band Ronny And The Daytonas. This record was recorded mostly in Muscle Shoals and Music City with a bunch of heavyweight country and Southern rock session players, but it's not actually a very twangy album. Mostly it's flowery, poetical psychedelic-orchestral stuff of the late-'60s variety, very serious but also pretty good. Wilkin pays tribute to his mom with a version of her song "Long Black Veil" and also sings a couple of Kris Kristofferson songs including one, "Apocalypse 1969," that he co-wrote along with Kristofferson... (Kristofferson was one of his mom's many Nashville proteges...) If you're into fancy, experimental '60s pop, you might want to give this one a whirl. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Country Music)
