Your favorite obscure song

Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks are not THAT obscure, but I’ll take this opportunity to once again bring attention to their rendition of "I’m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)", written by Johnny Mercer for the movie Rhythm On The Range, sung by Bing Crosby.

Dan Hicks’ version is sung by band member Maryann Price, in a deliciously lascivious manner. The song is found in the Striking It Rich album, and a bonus for audiophiles is that the recorded sound quality is excellent. It was produced by Tonny LiPuma and engineered by Bruce Botnick. Musically great, and sonically demo quality material.

@winoguy17: That makes two of us! I'm impressed, you got good taste Charlie. 

"Suzanne" by Matthew Fisher.

Mathew left Procol Harum after playing organ on their first three albums (their good ones), and got a solo deal with RCA. "Suzanne" is the opening track on his first album (Journey's End), which like all the other songs on the album he wrote and sings. The album features accompaniment by only a bassist and drummer---no guitars to get in the way---with the exception of some strings and brass on a couple of tracks. I love the album, but know no one else who has heard it.
