The Unknown Greats
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:54:27 PM »
Thought I'd start a thread where we could write about great musicians, artists, bands, etc. that are well-kept secrets because they never became famous. The music and musicianship may nonetheless be great, and we all probably know about someone that others don't know about. It would be great if you could provide some info plus maybe a link to YouTube or Grooveshark.

I'll start out with a guy I just discovered:

- Jack Pearson

- Singer/guitarist/session musician, previous member of the Allman Brothers Band

- Blues/rock/jazz

what would you rate as unknown?
i mean, would you accept "heavily underrated" as well?
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Could be, I guess, but rather people who don't make the charts, are not celebrities. Dig into the closets of obscurity, Pottel :) Artists that are not known to the general public and casual, mainstream-music listeners. I guess that's what I'm after.

Here's a female singer that I absolutely adore, Annie Sellick. She's more into jazz, but she's the most charming performer ever.

This is a clip with her, her husband, who is the excellent guitarist Pat Bergeson (another unknown great), and Tommy Emmanuel. Tommy of course steps well into the spotlight hehe

I absolutely adore them. Their 1st album (not mixed by Guy) is even better IMO. Can't wait for the next one!

Smell of incense - Alice

A nice band from Norway, with psych elements. Pottel they have even done a nice Interstellar overdrive version. Unfortunately haven't found the song I originally wanted, but this will do. Still active, have issued 2-3 albums and several EPs.(maybe more...)



The for carnation - Tales from the Crypt

A fantastic side project with members from Tortoise (if I remember correctly). Atmospheric, bass driven, and metronomically played. They have issued one proper album and by popular demand re-released another previous flop one, with older recordings. The album from which this song comes is great!

Unfortunately none of these two songs have a proper video, or a live recording... Hope you like them!


 
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Nice to hear, VGONIS, but it's outside my area of taste :)

I think I just fell in love with Annie Sellick, what a beautiful woman.

Tommy showing his virtuosity again, but he really could benefit loads by a slow build when he solos - TOL or TR style - Tommy just goes for all the tricks straight away, amazing to watch though.
Nice thread Jackal, about to check the other vids...
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!
