Hidden Treasure


What albums do you have that the band or artist just never got the attention or airplay to take off. But you still play all the time. A couple of mine are Henry Gross Plug Me Into Something, Elf Elf, and Robert Johnson Close Personal Friend. Not “The” Robert Johnson. Love these albums are play them at least once a month. What are your Hidden Treasures?

@david12 ,

I did not that about SC. I've been a huge fan for years. Saw her in a local club years ago, she was alone and acoustic.
I know she had her demons early with alcohol. She was married to John Leventhal, right? Who is now Rosanne Cash' husband.
Greg Kihn Band "Kihntinued"

just take my word for it

@boxer12,

BTW,. your mentioning LOW recently, had me pulling out my lps. I realized this band is needs much more of my attention. I think I have 4 or 5 of their lps in my cart.

Happy Listening!
Other Lives. An interesting band. I own three of their lps. I’m listening to "Rituals" now. Hard to describe them. I’ll say this, when you sit down to listen, you my be tempted at first to take the lp off, but before you know it, the side is finished and you wonder what just happened? On "Rituals", you become immersed in the music as it washes over you.
@ghosthouse ,

I bought The Blue Nile "Men With Hats" when I flew to Texas to visit my brother a long time ago. I had to visit record stores while I was there, of coarse.

Starflyer 59  (anything)
Joan As Policewoman (anything)
Amanda Shires (anything)
Thea Gilmore. I recently discovered her and looking at he discograpy she has been around a while. Of the two lps I now own, she seems to have the respect of artists that are willing to work on her projects. She definately has the (voice) and song writing capability. Check out "The Counterweight"
@jafant 

I own his first 3 lps as well. For one reason or another, I stopped there.
 My lp copy of "In Between Dreams" is a stunner in SQ!
I know I own a Bodeans lp, just having trouble locating it at the moment..
@waltersalas

The Timbuk 3 is a GEM!!!

I had mentioned it around a year ago on a music thread.

You may be my other brother in music...…….
