윤용균 and the Men (1973)

Yoon Yong Kyoon provides the (male) vocals for the first side of the third "and the Men" LP released in 1973. The only song on Side Two is "The Men's" 22 plus minute psychadelic classic, "It's a Lie" (Geo Jit Mal I Ya)

JI Yeon and the Men

지 연 And The Men (1972)

For the second "and the men" format LP, Shin Jung Hyun enlisted female vocalist Ji Yeon. There are a few great SJH songs here that I had never heard anywhere else. Ji Yeon has a beautiful voice and unfortunately I do not know of any other music by her.

... and the Men

Shin Jung Hyun recorded a few albums where he would have a guest singer sing shorter pop songs on Side 1 of the record and his band "The Men" providing the longer more psychedelic songs for Side 2 of the albums. This is the first of three albums recorded this way, and my favourite, "Jang Hyun and the Men". Jang Hyun was a popular Korean singer who sadly passed away in 2008. (More about Jang Hyun later.)

장현 And The Men (1972)

The album contained many Shin Jung Hyun classics like "Mi Lyeon"미련, "Seok Yang"석양, and "A Leum Da Un Gang San"아름다운 강산. The Men members are Shin Jung-Hyun (Lead guitar and vocal), Lee Tae-Hyun (Bass), Mun Yung-Bae (Drum), Son Hak-Rae (Saxphone,Oboe),

Kim Gi-Pyu (Organ) and Park Kwang-Su (Vocal).
