Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

@whart: Bill, If you haven't heard NRBQ, I think you might like them. Founding member/songwriter/singer/keyboardist (piano and clavichord) Terry Adams cites Sun Ra and Thelonious Monk as two major influences! A fantastic live performer, as is the band.

Eric: you losing it bro. My buddy, Jim Hoke, played with them for a long time. We've seen them at festivals, at the Bottom Line, etc. Saw the splinter groups too. I'm a fan. Best,

Dang Bill, I forgot you put me in contact with Jim. I have his CD The Floating Zone right here in front of me, gonna give it another spin after dinner. Terry plays clavinet on one song.

That's because his mistake was minor in comparison to the mess you make out of the English language.

Everybody knows about Marshall Crenshaw, but his first release was not the debut album on Warner Brothers---produced by Richard Gottehrer (Blondie's original producer, previously a member of The Strangeloves of "I Want Candy" renown), but rather a 2-song 12" 45 on Shake Records, produced by Alan Betrock, founder of the great New York Rocker Magazine.
