Rod Stewart’s new album, "Blondes Have More Fun” (Warner Brothers), is a consistently entertaining record. Rod’s in Fine voice, his band tight and aggressive, and his material, while not up to the par of his first three solo outings, is, nevertheless, infectious and moving! With Rod’s highly publicized social life, it would be easy, for some, to dismiss his talents as a performer and vocalist, but, after listening to "Blondes Have More Fun," It’s more than obvious Rod can put fire into a rock and roll

number, as we smooth ballad.

Being the wife of Leon Russell could be a difficult thing if you were to try to have your own recording career, and, despite that, Mary Russell struggles on. "Heart of Fire" (Paradise) is a diverse collection of rock and roll, disco, R&B, and ballads, all showing Mary Rusself to be a capable singer, who has an identity of her own. As a writer, she’s been aided by veteran producer Kim Fowley and the up-and-coming rock-poet-genius Steven T., so the songs are all of the highest calibre. Singing for years before marrying Leon Russell, she’s definitely not trying to capitalize on her husband’s name. Mary Russell is a talent worth hearing. Except for Paul McCartney, being an ex-Beatle isn’t an asset. Ringo’s recording career has been spotty, at best, and his television special last year a complete mess. John Lennon has retired to his dairy farm, to peacefully raise his children. Then, there’s George Harrison. His new album on Dark Horse Records sounds fat and lazy. The material hasn’t any life to it, his guitar breaks lack the substance his early work with The Beaties had, and his voice is plain and emotionless. If it weren’t for the fact George Harrison was an exBeatle, this album of Muzak wouldn’t even be released. For years, Barclay James Harvest have been a staple of FM radio rock. Their lush, heavily orchestrated sound has always been reminiscent pf The Moody

Blues, yet Barclay James Harvest have yet to find the elusive hit to break them out of cult status and into the major market. "XII (Polydor) is pleasant enough, yet it’s doubtful this record will change their luck in America. After all, if their first eleven releases couldn’t alter their reception, this won’t. However, those who like their rock sophisticated won’t go wrong by picking up this, or any of their other records. The debut album of Couchois (Warner Brothers) shows a promising group in the soft-rock category. Wjth all five members singing, their vocal sound is impressive — but the group desperately needs better material, as, after several playings, all the songs begin to sound the same. Hie talent is there, but Couchois should have waited a bit longer before fecording. "Luxury You Can Afford" (Asylum) by Joe Cocker probably won’t surprise anyone, but it’s a fine outing by this seasoned artist. It’s an honest record that works because of ’ Allen Toussaint’s record-kve-as-much-as-possible production and solid material. Any doubters should refer to his version of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale,’.’ to see this man means business, as he takes this well-worn classic by Procul Hamm and makes it his own. Joe Cocker has overcome the white Ray Charles hyperbole of the late sixties to become a working pro, and “Luxury You Can Afford" is the perfect vehicle for him. Older Americans Gain Benefits When taxpayers reach age 65, they become eligible for a number of special tax benefits, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Filing requirements for persons who are 65 and over are more liberal than for other taxpayers. A single person, age 65, need not file kn income tax return unless his or her gross income is $3,700 or more. In contrast, a single person under age 65 must file when gross income is $2,950. Married couples filing joint returns have a $5,450 requirement if one spouse is 65 or over, and $6,200 if both spouses meet the age requirements. Also, taxpayers age 65 or over can usually exclude the entire gain on the sale of their principal residence if the adjusted sales price was $35,000 or less and the sale occurred before July 27, • 1978. If the sales price was over $35,000 a portion of the gain may qualify. For sales of personal residences on or after July 27, 1978, a new law allows the seller, if 55 years of age or older, to exclude up to $100,000 of capital gains. Other benefits include a special Tax Credit for the Elderly which can be as much as $375 for single persons and $562.50 for married couples filing jointly. Aldo, certain types of income are non taxable such as social security benefits, railroad retirement benefits and benefit payments from a general welfare fund. Additional information about benefits appears in the tax packages and in three free IRS publications. Publication 554, "Tax Benefits for Older Americans"; Publication 524, "Tax Credit for the Elderly”; and Publication 523, "Tax Information on Selling or Purchasing You- Home", can be obtatained by using the mail order form in the tax package, or be picked up at any IRS office.
