• When I was scuffling around, playing coffeehouses for bus fare and coffee, back before I even drank coffee, there were some models for me to emulate, or not. One of them was Stan Rogers, and my experiences with Stan will be told some day; another was Ray Materick. He had a book of poetry out, and a record, both with the same picture on the front, a bearded guy ambling down the street with a guitar. Then Ray Materick signed to Asylum, and had a hit single. You could not escape hearing "Linda Put the Coffee On" anywhere that season. Canadian radio played it almost hourly as I recall. The Asylum album had better songs, but the powers that be knew that "Linda..." was the hit. And on disc two (entitled '70s Stuff) of this two disc set "Linda Put the Coffee On" is the lead track, and the only song from that first Asylum album.
