Unjustly Obscure and Underrated Songs

For just a bar band they were pretty damn good.

Here's two from a Brit folkie whose album I picked up out of the bargain bin in the late seventies. Never regretted it a bit, just think it sucks she never went anywhere, (at least in the USA). Over there it was called Marian Segal and Silver Jade, I think.



This second one Marian Segal wrote has been recorded by others as well, but no big hits for anyone, unfortunately.

Anyone from the Midwest will know Micheal Stanley Band...

Although not entirely forgotten, this song from Simon and Garfunkel's 1966 Sounds of Silence album was a favorite of mine when I was a kid--very likely because I was a kid. It is Paul Simon's anthem to adolescent angst.

Michael Martin Murphey had a minor hit with Wildfire. But this is the song of his I heard at summer camp.

Top 10 hit in 1967...but never played now unless you have Sirius XM or some satellite service"

The video... classic.

6:13 minutes of Funkadeliciousness.

NOT Johnny Cash. I walk the line between good and evil. My business is a little cloak and dagger.

These are great!

Before there was rap (for the most part), Reunion was rhyming Bonnie Bramlett with mushroom omelet.
