Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

@whart

Thank You for the explanation. This is all that I desired to hear that the Geman Re-Issue is Fine. Off to the Hunt.

There is a typo in your rec since it should be Kahvas Jute - Wide Open. I found the LP using Wide Open solely on discogs to find it.

Thanks again.

My 2 cents: 'That's the Way I Feel Now', a Thelonius Monk tribute double album from the 70's. Most of the artists covering Monk tunes, or should I say re-imagining them, are well known (eg Joe Jackson, Todd Rundgren, Peter Frampton, Dr John, NRBQ), but the album appears to be a rarity. There is a good CD too, also OOP, but it omits some of the wilder efforts of John Zorn and others.

Not really sure what qualifies as "obscure," as it is a relative term... but if you've only heard Springsteen's BTR and later albums, you're missing his best, imo:  The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle.

Or, when was the last time you heard John Denver...?  How about Rocky Mountain High album... 

Not really obscure if you're a Willie Nelson fan, but if you're not familiar, then: Red Headed Stranger or his gorgeous album Stardust... 

Simon and Garfunkle: Bookends.

And for you rockers, better than their BTO Greatest Hits album(s): Bachman Turner Overdrive: Not Fragile

T Rex: Electric Warrior
