Louis Charles “B.W.” Stevenson was an American country pop singer and musician, working in a genre now called progressive country. “B.W.” stood for “Buckwheat”. This two-fer SACD combines his 1973 album My Maria with Calabasas, released the following year. Originally these LPs were released separately on RCA, and had been out of print some time. This pleasant and lite country-pop set highlights many original Stevenson compositions, including “Pass This Way”, “(Livin’ It) Day By Day”, “Song for Katy”, and the biggest hit of his career, “My Maria”.My Maria
Though best remembered for his hit with the title track, Stevenson had an incredible ear for a song. Several of the tracks on this record were later covered by, and were hits for, other artists. In fact, listen for how closely Three Dog Night copied Stevenson for their hit on “Shambala”.
