| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @maxnewid,thanks for the tips on The Guadalcanal Diary live album and The Eyelids. I like The Eyelids name in general and now I like it even more because I think it's a sly reference to REM. I enjoyed most of the bands that came out of that 80's -... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? + 1 for Don Dixon & Marti Jones. They are both still making records together as "solo" artists, with Don always playing and producing. Although those releases are sporadic these days.In a way, Marti remains me of a modern day Linda Ronstadt be... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @wassaicwill: Thanks for mentioning that your choices "can usually be found for peanuts on Amazon" I think that is important info to know. Many of the artist mentioned in these threads that I have looked up ends up being rare or out of print; thu... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @n80 I agree that some feedback would be nice; but, in everyone's defense I'm sure that they're busy with the holidays right now. And, if they are old school and rely on vinyl or CD's, then there's going to be an additional delay waiting for their... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? + 1 on Jimmy LaFave. Great original material as well as covers. I think he curated the fine Jackson Browne tribute CD "Looking Into You," which happens to feature some Austin based artists: Bob Schneider, Eliza Gilkyson and Shawn Colvin.Another go... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanx @ tparr for reminding me of The Sneetches. I had one of their CD's back in the day and it was very good. Your comment about liking something "a bit more complex" really hit home with me. I like that same trait in my music; but, I also think ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks to NUTTY and YYZSANTABARBARA for bringing Canadian artists into the discussion. I grew up in a state that borders Canada; so, I've always had an affinity for Canadian music.I was working in a record store when "Dinner At The Ritz" by City B... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks @bdp24 for your stories. As for Duke Levine's session work, I'll add the early Jonatha Brooke albums to your list of where I first heard Duke's playing. I just thought of another guitar player......are you familiar with Johnny A? I like him... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks @djones51. I'll check them out just based on their "name." I've actually discovered a lot of good artists that way, with Prefab Sprout being just one example. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @bdp24 Since you like Danny Gatton, you might want to check out either Duke Levine or Monte Montgomery. With Monte, you'll want to stick with his live releases: a) Caravan of Dreams b) Work Play or c) New & Approved. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? For the Dead Can Dance fans:You might want to check out Volume 1 of the KCRW "Rare On Air" series of CD's, as it contains Brendan Perry doing a great acoustic version of "The Captive Heart."Some other highlights from these series are:Volume 2 cont... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @n80 Thanks for tip tip on The Struts. I've recently started hearing some buzz about them, so I'll need to check them out. Your description re... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @Three_Easy_PaymentsCheck out a British band called I Am Kloot. They're a mixture of styles/genres (like Kikagaku Moyo), but with a heavy emphasis on lounge jazz. Their first two albums are the best ("Natural History" & "I Am Kloot"); but, the... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @Three_Easy_Payments:The live acoustic CD is not available on the band's website. I found it when I looked up a live clip of "Ice" on YouTube. As far as I know, this is the only clip that was filmed from this show, which was in someone's basement ... |
