Two of my all time favorite Braziliano albums.
West Side Soul is outstanding.
I’ve been enjoying The Breaks lately along with the finally rocking again Black Keys - Peaches!

I was intrigued by the Black Rockabilly compilation. Tried to find it on streaming and virtually all the search produced were albums by...the Man in Black, Johnny Cash!
The song of the day by Susan Cowsill is lovely. Is there a Cowsills or solo album one should listen to?
Susan Cowsill only has two solo albums. "Just Believe It" is very good.
Just Believe It is good, and so is Lighthouse from 2010. She is featured singing and writing on all of the Continental Drifters records (except Nineteen Ninety-three). There's also good material on The Cowsills more recent records, Global, Rhythm of the World, and Cocaine Drain, all which feature Susan on multiple songs. Up On The Chair, Beatrice by Susan and Vickie Peterson is pretty good too.
The Susan Cowsill Band's Covered In Vinyl records (four of them) are available on Bandcamp.
Confession time: last summer my wife asked that we go to one of those Happy Together 60s reunion/review shows. The Cowsills were one of the bands and featured three of the siblings. I have to say, Susan’s still got the pipes. It was a pleasant surprise.
Also, Little Anthony’s still got it.
