A few Artists I rate highly previously mentioned ,but different albums.My fav Dave Edmonds is Tracks on Wax 4.My favourite Kevin Ayers is The Confessions of Dr Dream -Ollie Halsall really howling on this album.Dont believe The All Music critics who may not have listened to it .My fav Jade Warrior is Last Autumns Dream ,a little different to Kite et al .Phil Manzanera’s Diamond Head is my favorite Manzanera album. Micky Jupp’s Juppanese.And my obscure choice would be (maybe not so obscure for antipodean members)Darcy Clay- Jesus I was Evil -he only put out one ep before his untimely death.About Darcy-https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/nat-music/audio/2018663590/jesus-he-was-exceptional-rememb...

While T Bone Burnett is a pretty well known name, it is more for his production work (the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, Elvis Costello's King Of America album, Peter Case's debut, many others) than his own albums.

The first I heard of Burnett was when he was a member of Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. He was then in The Alpha Band, a trio whose other members were the great musicians David Mansfield and Steven Soles. They made three albums for Arista in 1976/7/8, then called it quits. The LP's are not hard to find, and reasonably priced.

T Bone's debut solo album is the little-known J. Henry Burnett: The B-52 Band & The Fabulous Skylarks, released by UNI (MCA) Records in 1972. Good luck finding a copy of THAT LP! Mine's not for sale. ;-)
