I found this LP in Duluth a few years ago, and noticed a mention of Bemidji, Minnesota on the label, so I always assumed this to be a Northern Minnesota record. Recently guitarist Terry Jenister set me straight: Bluebyrd were from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and weren’t much of a bar-playing-working band; they were more of a studio project. “We recorded some songs to document or demo them, one thing led to another, and we pressed some records”. What a record it is! Catchy songs, plaintively recorded; it’s a real treat. Sweet Thoughts conveys the laid-back organic vibe of the early/mid 1970s perfectly- a great lost Minnesota classic to boot. Now I’m off to find their other LP- that one is also really good, I’ve heard. Thanks to Terry for giving me the go-ahead to put these up for your listening pleasure.
