Your favorite obscure song

What song in your music inventory do you consider a barely known hidden gem? Like a well kept secret know only to a few that you can listen to over and again.

For me it's 'Roads to Moscow' from Al Stewart's 'Past Present and Future' album.

The music, the lyrics, the story it tells is- to be just slightly hyperbolic- brilliant.

Check it out, especially if your a WW2 history buff.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.😁

Boz Scaggs Look What You’ve Done To Me and Loan Me A Dime on the album Greatest Hits Live, Grey Cat Records, streaming on Qobuz.  The first a ballad, the second a R&B masterpiece of improvisation.  On the last few bars of Look listen to the falsetto exchange and atmospheric range of Barbara Wilson and Ms. Monet … on  Loan listen to Scaggs’ R&B stylings at his best, backed up by the improvisational runs by his band.

Chris Whitley's Rocket House is an amazing album.

My choice for a (possibly) obscure cut is Wasted Union Blues by It's a Beautiful Day; its so unlike any other cut they recorded.

My usual go-to obscure cut is Quits by Danny O'Keefe.

The Monroes….What Do All The People Know (sounds like 1980’s summers)

 

I have the original 5-song EP on vinyl…got it decades ago but was hard to find (not from high demand I’d imagine, but from low printing volume lol).
