An eight piece band, River City Street Band became the first all white band signed by Stax (in this case the label's Enterprise subsidiary). Having located to Memphis the band recorded their debut in the famed Ardent Studios with Tim Riley producing. (In case anyone cared, Terry Manning was credited with playing Moog synthesizers on the album.) 1971's cleverly-titled "River City Street Band" offered up a somewhat odd mixture of hard rock and horn rock - imagine Chicago with the late Terry Kath calling the shots and you'll get a feel for the overall sound. Featuring a largely original collection of material penned by singer Tommy Boyd and bassist Dick Johnson, the album wasn't all that bad, especially for a horn rock excursion, but most of the songs would have been even better sans the horns. That said, for the most part songs such as 'Happy Song' and 'Lamp of Love' exhibited fairy tight and commercial structures that served to keep the horn section (Ethridge Hill, Tom Jones, and Dale Marlow) in check so this wasn't anywhere near as bad as your typical Blood, Sweat and Tears, or Chase album. The album also benefited from Byrd's nice voice. He had one of those instruments that was rugged and tough, but still capable of sounding quite commercial. The band also had a second lead singer who was featured on a couple of tracks (take a listen to 'People'). Beats me who it was ... The other surprise weapon came in the form of guitarist Bill 'Fuzz' Foster. Whenever Foster was given a chance to open up things quickly improved. Shame he wasn't allowed even more space.

Produced by Tim Riley, the band's sophomore release wasn't a major change in direction. With Boyd and Johnson again responsible for penning the majority of material, their sound remained firmly entrenched in early-1970s horn-rock (think along the lines of Blood Sweat and Tears, Chase and Chicago). That said, this time out the horns were actually a bit less prominent and on a couple of tracks ('Statue of Liberty' and 'Marlow's Catfish Song') there were no horns. So here's the funny thing - they were actually far stronger without the horns ...https://www.discogs.com/River-City-Anna-Divina/release/4696454

Дебютный лонгплей японских психоделиков сделан в мрачноватой манере и имеет многие черты, присущие лучшим работам этого жанра, относящимся к Японии 70-х годов: некоторая общая угнетенность, сопровождаемая всплесками сверх-эмоциональности, когда вокалист, кажется, еще чуть-чуть и уже зальется слезами. Эта особенность японской психоделии потом встречается и у J.A. Caesar, и у Ceremony, и пр., и полностью отсутствует у артистов этого жанра в других странах. В целом, ровный альбом, выдержанный в одном настроении и неплохо исполненный.

In the summer of 1965 Yoshio Hayakawa, with Suehiro Takahashi and Eiri Matsubara formed a group called Nightingale. The same members appeared on a Fuji TV show in the summer of 1966 under the name Windmills. Sometime shortly after this, Matsubara left and the group changed their name to the Jacks.
Hitoshi Tanino joined in January 1967, and Haruo Mizuhashi and Takasuke Kida in May 1967. The group released their first single in March 1968. Mizuhashi quit in September 1968, and was replaced by Hiro Tsunoda.
The group finally split up in August 1969.
