Awesome Hearing Them Again!!
6 Oct 2004
Format:Audio CD
What a wonderful surprise to learn this long-lost recording of the Oxford Circle's Avalon performance has been released. I remember when they were the "Hideaways" ("You've got to love your Hideaway") when I was in (Davis Senior) High School and at Freeborn Hall at UC Davis (Messrs. Patten, Keylor and Yoder were a few years older, and Paul Whaley was in my senior class). "Foolish Woman" was one of my favorite songs, and hearing it again after all these years was pure joy. I highly recommend this CD if you're interested in timeless rock by a superb group.

California Psychedelic Blues Garage Rarity!
18 Feb 2003
Format:Audio CD
Oxford Circle was a legendary psychedelic blues band primarily due to the fact that drummer Paul Whaley and vocalist/fuzz guitarist Gary Lee Yoder were members of the cult proto-metal band Blue Cheer. This set "Live at the Avalon 1966" contains 14 live cuts in good sound quality for the time period. In addition it also contains four studio cuts. "Foolish Woman" a garage/psychedelic favorite and "Troubles" another band original appear here in both studio and live versions. These are the strongest group originals on the disk. The live cuts are mostly classic blues or British blues/rock covers. Versions of "You're A Better Man Than I" (Yardbirds) and "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" (Animals)and some songs by Van Morrison illustrate that their main influences were British blues/rock bands of the mid to late sixties with a California psychedelic take. Blues covers "Baby Please Don't Go" and "I'm A Man" are especially energetic. The Yardbirds like rave-up at the end of the latter contains some Jeff Beck inspired guitar work by lead guitarist Dehner Patten with some psychedelic fuzz and distortion added by Yoder. Drummer Whaley is solid throughout and it easy to imagine why Dickie Peterson tapped him to fill the drum chair in the power trio Blue Cheer. Jim Keylor's bass is noticeable now and again weaving in and out of the guitar histrionics. Yoder's harmonica pops up occasionally and gives the proceedings a bluesier feel. The band broke up after Whaley left to join Blue Cheer. Yoder and Patten reunited to form Kak another psychedelic band before Gary Lee Yoder also joined Blue Cheer. Fans of California's psychedelic scene and rare blues/garage rock will find this to be a hidden treasure. Kudos to Ace/Big Beat for unearthing this rare psychedelic gem and providing great liner notes with a detailed history and pictures of the band.

Foolish Woman
26 Dec 2007
Format:Audio CD
I had one reason for buying this album. Foolish Woman is one of my favorite songs of all time & my copy of the 45 disintergrated many years ago leaving me with just the memory. Sometimes when you revisit a fond memory it never lives up. No so for the song. It holds up nicely. Wish I could say the same for the rest. I used to hear these guys at Sacramento's Governor Hall & other places in the Sacramento/davis area. They were pretty much your standard issue british invasion cover band. A decent substitute when you couldn't hear the original bands but nothing more. Most of these covers pale when compared to the originals. The performances serve best as a snapshot of a certain time & space & because there are so few decent sounding recorings, it's worth having. And did I mention that Foolish Woman kicks!
