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?

Not enough attention, plaudits, respect, love, airplay, $ - at least in my O-pinion:
Dwight Twilley
Greg Kihn (The Greg Kihn Band)
Mason Ruffner - Gypsy Blood
Shawn Phillips - Faces
Smash Palace

Second Mason Ruffner saw him open for Jimmy Page in 85 or 86 in Dallas. Was great.

If I recall correctly (without digging out the record) Jimmy Page produced the Gypsy Blood album.  Didn't know Mason toured with JP.

Ruffner opened for Page at Starplex in Dallas September of 88. He was billed as Mason Ruffner and the Tailgaters I believe was a long time ago.
