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?

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.

Thanks slaw, Rituals sounds like the type of music I love & is now on my "must purchase" list. 

Another hidden gem is a band called "Forest for the trees". I just bought this one yesterday afternoon & it is incredible if you're into a "kind off" psychedelic alternative rock band. Unfortunately it looks like they only put out one album.

@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!

Thanks everyone for the ideas, I have ordered two of them.

My suggestion,

Jonatha Brooke, any album at all.

I saw her on a whim a few years ago and along with Shawn Colvin, it was one of the best concerts I've been to. great songwriter and voice, sings with real heart. She started life as a ballet dancer, believe it or not.
