            █  Saint Steven is actually Steve Cataldo, who had     █
            █  previously been the guitarist and                   █
            █  singer/songwriter for the minor late-'60s Boston    █
            █  psychedelic band FRONT PAGE REVIEW. His 1969        █
            █  album, also called Saint Steven, was similarly      █
            █  period psychedelia, not as underground as some,     █
            █  more pop-oriented than some others, and at the end  █
            █  of the day not too distinguished. Pop/rock and      █
            █  folk-rock sensibilities were sprinkled with bits    █
            █  of odd sound effects (animal roars, 1968            █
            █  Republican Convention soundbites, etc.) on two      █
            █  pseudo side-long suites, never to either terrible   █
            █  or good results.                                    █
            █                                                      █
            █  ---                                                 █
            █                                                      █
            █  Not to be confused with the Ohio-based One St.      █
            █  Steven, this Boston, Massachusetts-based outfit is  █
            █  one of those mystery acts nobody seems to know all  █
            █  that much about.  While some references refer to    █
            █  it as a band, it was apparently a one-man act led   █
            █  by former Front Page Review and late-inning         █
            █  Ultimate Spinach alumnus Steve Cataldo.             █
            █  Regardless, of his background, St. Steven managed   █
            █  to release one intriguing album on ABC's Probe      █
            █  subsidiary.                                         █
            █  Confusingly, even though the album title credits    █
            █  'Saint Steven, the 13 tracks are credited to 'St.   █
            █  Steven'.  Even Probe Records seemed confused since  █
            █  the single 'Ay-Aye-Poe-Day' b/w 'Louisiana Home'    █
            █  (Probe catalog number 465) was credited to St.      █
            █  Steven.  While we're not sure what the right name   █
            █  is, 1969's John Turner produced "Over the Hills"    █
            █  is certainly worth hearing. Musically the set       █
            █  offers up a bizarre mix of commercial folk-rock     █
            █  ('Grey Skies'), pseudo-psych moves ('Bastich 1'),   █
            █  hard rock ('Poor Small') and sound effects          █
            █  ('Voyage To Cleveland'). In spite of it's lack of   █
            █  focus, Cataldo was a more than decent singer and    █
            █  capable of writing attractive and quite commercial  █
            █  material.                                           █
