Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

We have a 'What Are You Listening To' thread but I wanted one where we could list some of our favorite obscure or lesser known music. Post a track link or the whole lp if you wish.
I will start with one of my favorite obscure US psych rock things.

One of my favourite difficult to classify tracks from the sixties:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Full Moon, with guitarist Buzz Feiten (replaced Elvin Bishop in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band).

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

I might have mentioned these guys before....imho as good as any country blues rock back in the day...I read somewhere that The Eagles used to watch them and other bands play at The Troubador ...one wonders how much they stole from bands like Illinois Speed Press?

Goddo often released tracks with a surreal sound:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Luther Rabb (Late), childhood friend of Jimi Hendrix in Seattle. Later became the bass player for War.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Chicken Shack is a generally overlooked band:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

^I have one old LP from them called Accept...good blues rock and Christine Perfect (Mc Vie) was in them for a while.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Savoy Brown is another band from which we don't often hear these days:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

One of my old favorites....Raw Sienna is my favorite...but all the early ones are great and even when they went more in to hard rock later.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Made me think of this band...loved them...a great bunch of players who never got much recognition.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

You posted this other Steamhammer track back in April:



It was a real ear-opener for me.

:music:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

I hoped you liked it...I love both of those tracks as well as the albums which are on you tube. I have them on cd...the lps are hard to find and expensive on old vinyl.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Another band from those times in England...similar style blues rock...
let the song develop.. it starts slow...these guys are obscure; have first one on original Vertigo vinyl..cost me some money.



I noticed I posted this track and Passing Through by Steamhammer on the prog rock thread...man it's hell to get old and forgetful.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

That's another one I really like!

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Many/most classic rock fans will hasten to agree that Aynsley Dunbar belongs within the pantheon of great drummers, but when does anyone ever listen to the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation?





:scratch:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

They, Gravy Train, did 4 lp's and most of them are on you tube.
I like that early Brit proggy blues rock sound from 1968-1972 or so..there were a few US bands also but the Brits had it down.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Very good drummer and fronted his own band for several lp's and played for many many bands over the years...I used to own Doctar Dunbars Prescription(1968) but like so many lps over the years I lost it somewhere.
He played on some very well known Zappa lp's including Chunga, Burnt Weeny, Fillmore east, Wazoo,,,,etc...played on Pin Ups and Diamond Dogs for Bowie...and was the drummer for the first 4 Journey albums.
A long and varied career...still going. :thumbsup:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

An obscure one worth some cash if you can find the vinyl..sought after by collectors....I have a cd version...The Doors meet Black Sabbath.. not everyones cuppa but I like the hard edged doom to it.
And this was 1969 (when Zep came out)

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

This one by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity got to #5 in the United Kingdom and #13 in Canada but received next to no air play in the States:



:phones:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Good version...written by Dylan and Rick Danko on the first Band lp.
Driscoll and Auger were never very big inthe US but I have many Brian Auger lps and a few with Driscoll on them.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Buddy Miles

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Them Changes was my favorite by Buddy but not exactly obscure...imho....Them Changes was on the charts and radio a lot back then.
Even Auger and Driscoll were fairly well known in England .
C'mon guys ...lets find some 'obscure' things like High Tide ,,and White Chocolate above, ;)

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Who posted 'Them Changes'?

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Uh...I did....or I mean mentioned it as being my favorite.
:)

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

US 1971.., I look for these old obscure bands and I had never heard of this one until a week or so ago....heavy blues rock

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Okay, how about Nanette Workman then? Though born in Brooklyn in 1945, she grew up in Jackson, Mississippi and briefly attended the University of Southern Mississippi. But it was only after she moved to Montréal in 1966 that she achieved success as a recording artist:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Why do I think you are into her because of her looks and not so much the music..?
;)

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

:thumbsup:
Now That's what I'm talking about....impossible to find but worth mega bucks if you did. I listened to that on you tube about a week ago....they came out of an earlier band called Locomotive which can be had on cd and vinyl though again originals are expensive.

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Yes...another winner....now that's obscure hard rock....:thumbsup:

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

I don't think you would have even raised the point had you not been intrigued by Nanette's looks who incidentally provided backup vocals on Honky Tonk Women.

:D

Re: Obscure Music: Rock, Jazz, etc
 

Doug & the Slugs are another band that gets little appreciation:
