My Back Pages #1 - Unknown & underrated singer-songwriters

 


A suggestion in the thread of Barbara Keith's album posted last weekend suggested a spotlight on underrated or too little known songwriters as a worthy endeavor. Well, I like to think that One Buck Records has already done its part in that department, either through the One Album Wonders series or some regular posts. And since I was thinking of doing something with the ever-growing back catalogue of this blog that may have passed a bunch of people by, I'll just launch what will be a semi-regular feature. My Back Pages will essentially a little reminder of what great music lies in the back pages of this blog, and I will just post a couple of links to the line-ups with renewed links for the albums in question.

Since the topic was underrated or unknown songwriters,

how about checking out Michael Johnson's fabulous debut album in a slightly reworked form? 

or take a trip further up north and

join Luke Gibson for another perfect day of perfect 70s stoner singer-songwriter stuff

You could also move to the mystic kingdom Of Fife

and listen intently to Jackie Leven's Songs Of The Forbidden West

or go and visit the two Bobs who are not that Bob, 

first Bob Burchill with another unknown country rock classic from the 70s

and then fellow canuck 

Bob Carpenter and his mostly unknown Americana classic Silent Passage

or, if you are in a somber winter mood, 

revisit the music of Jay Bolotin that should be much wider known

Now there. That should do it. I take it y'all have already the music I posted of the late, great Neal Casal for whom I will never not stan...

...and of course, be back this weekend for new music coming to One Buck Records...
