Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

That Hot Tuna album (first) is not only great music, but the remastered edition with all of the tape his s removed should really be on everyone's list of demonstration discs. Jack Casady's bass is the best sounding and most realistic bass that I have ever heard on my system. I listen to it frequently. 

@mitchagain - I got to see Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar a few weeks ago backing Lyle Lovett here at ACL in Austin. I knew them from the old days, it was great to hear them. Still in top form. 

I'll throw one more down- Brian Davison, Every Which Way- it sounds like early Traffic, blues shouter, rock, jazz. The U.S. Mercury pressing is fine and shouldn't cost big. Davison was the drummer for The Nice and put this one and done together after Keith Emerson left to go to ELP. It is from the period, has the mojo and sounds good. 

The Hindu Love Gods eponymously named album. Warren Zevon backed b REM in a rather “relaxed” state laying down some standards in remarkable form. Really informal and never intended for release and all the better for it. Both Warren and REM show what they can really do when they cut loose.
