Thought it might be interesting to start a thread for folks to identify music that, more than likely, the rest of us have never heard, but should have. I could fill up a page or two, but.........

My contribution to kick it off is Paul Siebel. With only 2 official releases on Elektra in 1969 (Woodsmoke & Oranges) and 1971 (Jacknife Gypsy), Siebel was never a household name, unless your household played Kristofferson's The Pilgrim, which name-checked Siebel, among others, in its intro. In that earliest intro to "Outlaw" music, which had its roots in the folk scene of the early 60's, Siebel still stands as a lyrical genius. A few of his songs were covered by the likes of Leo Kottke (Louise), Waylon, Bonnie Raitt, and others.

From what I've dug up, Paul tired of the "scene" early on and was last seen operating a bakery somewhere.

Rounder/Philo put out a cd titled "Paul Siebel" in '95 which has the entire Woodsmoke & Oranges" lp and 5 songs from Jack Knife Gypsy on it. Essential twang. Trust me.

Cool thread tentoze. I haven't listened to anything for a few days but I was going through my HD and found a mess of Beatles stuff I d/loaded. In it was the complete rooftop concert. I just had to give it a play, man it was moving
having grown up with the comlete Beatles experience and loving every minute of it. I have never heard of this being released in any form. It may be 35 years later, but still I'm quite taken back. Yes, I'm quite sure I could fill a couple pages too. :) Gotta make a disk or ten and hear it big time instead of
my little tin box computer speakers.

One of my favorite things to do is browse sites such as CD Baby looking for independent artists making great music. Albert Cummings, Paul Wood, Hydraulic Woman, Carlos Guitarlos and Jeffery Foucault are just a few that I have stumbled across that have really struck a chord with me. Some of these have since gone on to sign major deals, so more and more folks are getting a chance to listen to them.

One that has long been a favorite of mine and has consistently put out some great music is Pete Special. Some may have heard of Pete from is days with "Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows" (led by Larry Nolan).

Anyway, if you’re looking for some great Chicago style blues - check out Pete and the "Pete Special Trio", outstanding stuff.

If you like your blues with a rockin edge to it, try Mike Zito, America's Most Wanted cd. Great guitar work. Influenced by: Walter Trout, Robben Ford, Bugs Henderson

Follow the links to listen a little to cuts of his. Try You Don't Know Me from the America's Most Wanted CD. :banana:

Porcupine Tree (Prog Rock)
Pat Donohue (Excellent Acoustic Guitarist)
Patty Larkin (Singer / Songwriter, also a great guitarist)
Modern Man (Modern day Smothers Brothers)

Hey Rontech1, I've listened to Mike Zito before and he's pretty cool. I love that song of his titled "Deal Me In".

BB Chungking and the Buddaheads. Several albums out now. You can find them on CD Baby. If you like good ol' fashioned rockin' blues this may be your thing.

Cressida. Released two albums in the early 70's, s/t and Asylum. Fans of the British prog movement of that time will love this. Great stuff.

Bill Miller. Singer/songwriter of American Indian descent. Bill incorporates his Indian heritage into his music. His albums Ghostdance and Spirit Rain are most excellent.

Too much barbeque.

I used to go and see "Big Twist and the Mellowfellows" at the Cabooze in Minneapolis almost every time they were in town. I always thought the best part was when the band would go into an extended jam

Good stuff!

I would have to recommend Clive Gregson and Christine Collister.They played with Richard Thompson,made 5 albums together,became romantically involved,seperated and they each have their solo albums.

Martin Simpson,Jimmy LaFave,Joe Henry(Madonna's brother-in-law)Pete Special Trio(Thanks Dave918)Mack Mackenzie(a guy from Montreal)
The Corn Sisters, Willie P. Bennett(from Northern Ontario)Blaze Foley..Live @ The Outhouse,Blaze made only one album during his lifetime,he was knifed trying to protect a friend.He was one of Texas' great troubadors in the tradition of Guy and Townes

Drybasement, I always thought Zito would be a great band to see in a bar :banana: Have not had the chance though. Plays a LOT in Louisiana and Texas area.
Thanks for the tip on BB Chungking. I will give it a try :thmbsp:

A Tribute to Clif -- kind of a rockin, blues, zydeco,

Godspeed! You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

Very strange, but very good, sort of a mixture between prog rock and classical but not as simple as that.
