From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
A Hard Road is the third album (and second studio album) recorded by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, released in 1967. It introduced Peter Green on lead guitar following the departure of Eric Clapton, and also featured John McVie on bass, Aynsley Dunbar on drums and John Almond on saxophone. Tracks 5, 7 and 13 feature the horn section of Alan Skidmore and Ray Warleigh. Green additionally sings lead vocals on "You Don't Love Me" and "The Same Way". The cover art and the original LP sleeve design are by Mayall.
The album reached #8 on the UK album charts which is Mayall's third best showing on the chart next to Bare Wires and Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton which reached #3 and #6, respectively. Two different expanded versions of the album were released in 2003 and 2006.
Reaction to the album was mostly positive, and many praised Green's guitar playing. Team Rock rated the album at 14, on their "Top 30 British Blues Rock Albums of All Time". The two re-issues of the album, in 2003 (double CD) and 2006 (single CD), have compiled all of the Peter Green studio contributions he made to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers over 1966–1971. The bonus tracks missing from the 2006 remaster (except "Evil Woman Blues") appeared on the remastered versions of the next Bluesbreakers studio albums, "Crusade" and "Bare Wires".
It was voted number 638 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).

![The Hollies - Bus Stop / Dont Run And Hide (1966) Single
Track List:
1. Bus Stop (0:00)
2. Dont Run And Hide (2:53)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Bus Stop is a song recorded and released as a single by the British rock band the Hollies in 1966. It reached No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart. It was the Hollies first US top ten hit, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard charts in September 1966. In Canada the song reached No. 1 and was their second top ten hit there.
Bus Stop was written by Graham Gouldman, who also penned major hits for the Yardbirds (For Your Love) and Hermans Hermits (No Milk Today), as well as the Hollies first venture into the US top 40 with Look Through Any Window. With the release of Bus Stop as a single in June 1966, the Hollies joined the trend known as raga rock, a subgenre first popularised by the Beatles, the Byrds and the Kinks. Musicologist William Echard highlights the guitar solo and its sitar-like sound as an indicator of the Indian musical element evident in the song. Billboard said of the single that there was a good group vocal on this teen-aimed, easy-rocker with more commercial potential than their [earlier single] I Cant Let Go. Cash Box described the song as a rollicking, hard-driving bluesy weeper with a plaintive, melodic undercurrent.
In a 1976 interview Gouldman said the idea for Bus Stop had come while he was riding home from work on a bus. The opening lines were written by his father, playwright Hyme Gouldman. Graham Gouldman continued with the rest of the song in his bedroom, apart from the middle-eight, which he finished while riding to work – a mens outfitters – on the bus the next day.
Thirty years later he elaborated on the songs beginnings: Bus Stop, I had the title and I came home one day and he (Hyme) said Ive started something on that Bus Stop idea you had, and Im going to play it for you. Hed written Bus stop, wet day, shes there, I say please share my umbrella and its like when you get a really great part of a lyric or, I also had this nice riff as well, and when you have such a great start to a song its kind of like the rest is easy. Its like finding your way onto a road and when you get onto the right route, you just follow it. My late father was a writer. He was great to have around. I would write something and always show him the lyric and he would fix it for me. You know, hed say Theres a better word than this – he was kind of like a walking thesaurus as well and quite often, sometimes, he came up with titles for songs as well. No Milk Today is one of his titles, and also the 10cc song Art for Arts Sake. The Hollies - Bus Stop / Dont Run And Hide (1966) Single](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K0V-4fcypTw/mqdefault.jpg)
