 LyricsVault: Hall of fame: Neil Young
The now-classic Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere captured a performer liberated from a previous self-consciousness with the extended "Down By The River" and "Cowgirl In The Sand", allowing space for his stutteringly simple, yet enthralling, guitar style.
While the epic guitar pieces dominated the set, there were other highlights, including the zestful "Cinnamon Girl" and the haunting "Running Dry (Requiem For The Rockets)", a mournful song featuring Bobby Notkoff on violin.
The album underlined the intense relationship between Young and Crazy Horse.

"Me and Bobby McGee," "For The Good Times" and "Help Me Make It Through The Night" are standards by now, but back then they were revelatory radio moments.
This 18 song set collects the writer's own versions of those songs with chart hits of his own such as "Josie" and the country #1 "Why Me" recorded for the Monument label (his AandM and Columbia hits are not included).
Bobby Notkoff's violin dominates many of the solo moments, but there still is enough Danny Whitten here for fans.

 Billy Talbot's "Alive In The Spirit World" Due | RockAndMetal.com
Eventually, Billy Talbot moved into a Laurel Canyon house where legendary jam sessions brought together the musicians who collectively became The Rockets.
Besides Billy, Ralph and Danny on bass, drums and guitar, the band included electric violinist Bobby Notkoff and both Leon and George Whitsell on guitars.
Their repertoire of hard driving garage rock mixed with psychedelic elements became something of a local underground sensation, but their record label didn't do much to promote their debut album in 1968.

 Robert Christgau: CG: Joni Mitchell
If this has none of the ingratiating ease of Blue, that's because Mitchell has smartened up--she's more wary, more cynical.
Perhaps as a result, the music, which takes on classical colors from Tom Scott's woodwinds and Bobby Notkoff's chamber strings, is more calculated.
Where the pretty swoops of her voice used to sound like a semiconscious parody of the demands placed on all female voices and all females, these sinuous, complex melodies have been composed to her vocal contours with palpable forethought.

 * Dusted Reviews - Michele *
O’Malley was a vocalist for the Ballroom, the pre-Millenium/Sagittarius project on Boettcher’s resume, and it seemed that Saturn Rings would be the sure-shot to get both the recognition they sought.
The list of session players and studio magicians with their hands in this thing is fairly compelling, as well: witness Lowell George, pre-Little Feat; Elliot Ingber, Zappa/Beefheart collaborator; Bobby Notkoff, pre-Rockets and Neil Young sideman; Gordon Alexander (The Association); and Bobby Jameson (a.k.a.
Chris Lucey, of Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest infamy).
