THE HERALD Friday, February 22, 1974 Section 2 --3 Rick Nelson shifts accent to rock Rick Nelson and his Stone Canyon Band continue to get better with each album, making their newest, "Windfall" (MCA Becords), their best. Nelson, who several years ago left behind the antiseptic, teeny-bopper rock he was so successful with in the late '50s and early '60s, continues to mold out his own pleasing patch of the country-rock scene. But more and more the accent has shifted to the rock and this time out there's a bit of jazz flavor to the album. Last year, Nelson's "Garden Party" song about appearing at a rock revival show became a bit hit even though the album of the same name, which was even belter than the single, never really made it big. This time, the Stone Canyon Rick Nelson Band has three new members.

Only Nelson and pedal steel guitarist-Tom Brumley carry over. (Brumley's music is one of the best parts of "Windfall." He is one of the better pedal steel guitarists and played with Buck Owens for several years.) THE ALBUM BEGINS with "Legacy," a loving nature song, and then kicks into one of its strongest songs "Someone To Love," written by Nelson. With the accent on the bass, drums and fuzz guitar, the song rocks in a slow, steady way. It is one of the songs you keep humming after you've heard the album, The aforementioned "Legacy" is one of four songs written by Dennis Larden, the band's new lead guitarist. The best of these is "Evil Woman Child" with its bit of funk and, the plaintive "Don't Leave Me Here," which ends side one.

Larden also co-wrote the title song with Nelson, and like "Legacy" the song shows a concern for nature and her rhythms. It ends the album. Two other fine songs are "Wild Nights in Tulsa," a very tasteful rocker, and "I Don't Want To Be Lonely Tonight," with its fine Nelson vocal. They are the only two songs not written by band members. iii ii UNSURPRISINGLY, Bat-bra Strei- sand's newest album is named after her Leonard Nimoy at Brentano's "Star Trek'' fans will have the opportunity to meet one of their favorite characters in person.

wW heW (Mutt offlo. Phone 498-0632 Save Gas. Good Theatre is here in your neighborhood! Playback by Tom Von Malder current monster "The Way We Were." Her performance on the tune, from the movie of the same name in which she starred with Robert Redford, ranks with, her all-time best, "People" and that was such a long, long time ago. This new album (on Columbia Records) is her best in many years. Skillfully, her material has been chosen to appeal to all age groups.

On the first side she goes to Stevie Wonder for "All In Love Is Fair," to Carole King for "Being At War With Bach Other" (and another standout performance) and to Paul Simon for "Something So Right" (which is done very delicately). Side two is aimed at an older audience, but it can still be enjoyed by the young. Romance is the theme as she does a trio of songs by A. and M. -Bergman and Michele Legrand.

There is even Irving Berlin's "How About Me." In addition to the fine mix of today's music and yesterday's (here are 10 sterling Streisand performances. It is a beautiful, moody album. SUPER BRITISH ROCK group Yes seldom disappoints, but that is basically what "Tales From Topographic Oceans" (Atlantic records) does. Only on the last side of this four-sided effort does the group live up to the brilliance of its previous two albums, "Yes- songs" and "Close To the Edge." This is probably because the fourth or "Ritual" side is the most cohesive, most lyrical of all. The remaining three sides have their good moments, but they are too scattered.

The album is based on a footnote in Paramhansa Yoganada's "Autobiography of a Yogi" and the four-part Shastric sciptures so say album cover notes. Perhaps the idea of searching for truth and God through man's past and prehistory is a bit too obtuse for a rock album. Far too deep this set suffers from a bad case of the bends. But there is enough good music to make it worth several listenings (especially if you listen only to side four). Textile buffs form a guild Anyone working in textiles or interested in them is invited to join Countryside Art Center's Fiber? Guild (Fiber Freaks).

The newly formed group meets the fourth, Thursday of the month from. a.m. The guild held its first meeting Jan. 17 with 13 prsons representing interests in stitchery, basketry, weaving and macrame. The next meeting Feb.

28 will be a source-of-supply session. "To steal ideas from each other'-' is the stated purpose of the Fibers Guild, according to Sherry Boemmel, Prospect Heights, but the Fiber Freaks also mean to encourage one another and to exchange information on techniques, sources, books and shows, she added. PART OF EACH meeting will be devoted to discussing one another's work. Each session also will have a special area of concentration. A table will be designated for sharing books, sources and other information.

Workshops will be planned with Countryside Center's education department on an optional basis, said Mrs. Boemmel. Tuition will be charged for these. Persons interested in'more information may contact Mrs. Boemmel, 253-4528.
