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?

In observance of the passing Aretha Franklin, I heartily recommend an album produced by her early Atlantic Records-period producer, the great Jerry Wexler. Wexler took Lou Ann Barton down to Muscle Shoals to record her Old Enough album, and it is mighty fine. Wexler was aided by an unlikely partner, Glenn Frey. Lou Ann is a white singer who has a real feel for Rhythm & Blues, and she works quite a bit with Jimmie Vaughan.
Thanks ghosthouse, I'll check out  David Baerwald
Another gem is Mirah. Listening to her album "Advisory Committee" right now. Beautiful & creative at the same time. 
@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.
