That "Wow" Moment!


So I am at my local record shop store. Retired pharmacist. Had a big collection. Decided to open a brick and mortar business. Great couple and I love going there once a week and spending my money to support them. My panacea. Anyways there is an album on his system and my ears/brain immediately tune to it and ask "Who is this"? He says the name of the band whom I have never heard of before today. I say, "Will you sell it"? He says, "Sure". I bring it home and put on my system and it is a "You have got to be kidding me moment". Wow! Weren't they outstanding! Savoy Brown is the band. "Looking In" is the album from 1971. Please chime in on your similiar experiences of discovering a sound you didn't know was out there.

+++ on Savoy Brown and all their work, especially the early years with Chris Youlden. Their vinyl is well worth seeking. Simmonds latest solo acoustic CD ‘Jazzin the Blues’ is highly recommended for acoustic lovers- it’s all instrumental. My wife and I met Kim and the current band on the Rock Legends 4 cruise, an incredible fun time, a great deal and rock music ‘devotees’ from all over the world. +++ on Chris and Trixie Whitley and Pat Metheny. Seeing Pat again in April (6 or 7th time!) at Savannah Music Festival, awsome event. Saw Pat Martino twice there last year. One of my bucket list artist!
I was at a local record store (lrs) and heard songs over their speakers. I asked about the artist...the rest is history.

Starflyer59. Check out "IAMACEO".
@slaw - just listened to Starflyer59. Reminds me of Nada Surf (album: Lucky). Thanks for the heads-up.
My daughter told me about 10,000 Maniacs early in their career. I told her I could never imagine listening to a group with such a ridiculous name. Then I heard Natalie Merchant sing and the rest is history. We've seen her live probably six times. It just shows how wrong you can be. I buy everything she releases.
@dweller ,

Thanks dude. You are the only one who's actually listened to my recommending that band.
