OT: The Old, the Obscure, and The Forgotten - Round 2

[Bigboote]

Another one from the 70’s, from Renaissance’s first or third album depending on how you count them.

This is not old, but i think it may qualify as obscure. This is from "Live at KEXP". These ladies are wonderful performers and good friends. I know it is long, there are four tracks and some chit chat. Watch it all if you can, but definitely watch the final track. I hope you find it as worthwhile as I did.

Bama - thanks, that was quite the find. I liked them a lot, terrific harmony - I think I'll download some of their tunes for certain.

I can't even remember what I've posted on this thread, hopefully not repeating myself.

This band featuring a husband and wife duo have been making music for more than 30 years, never gotten much attention. This is about as uptempo as they get. Some of their stuff is so mellow you have to check your pulse occasionally to make sure you're still there. Also the name is misspelled in this clip, it's "Innocence."

I like this song in particular, some of their other stuff is decent. The studio version is a bit different than the video version. This one builds a bit slowly. Wiki says they are still active, but haven't put out an album since 2014. Down from 4 to 2 members. Originally 3 Estonian born siblings and the husband of the sister. Based out of Portland, OR.

A classic. One of my favorites.

With so much in turmoil these days, this Moodies song seems very fitting:

This is splitting and stacking season, so this one came to mind:

You are okay with me ,@Bigboote! BTW, buttered scones are wonderful at tea. Oh, and my favorite tree mentioned in the intro has to the flatulent Elm of West Ruislip.

 

[Scud49]

HaHa BB - that was some pretty funny stuff. Here's another good one, probably heard it about 20 years ago so its a bit old, and maybe obscure too:

 

[Hope]

I posted this a few years ago, so maybe it's forgotten (Gretchen Menn on guitar)

 

[Scud49]

Here's one that's brilliant, old, and kinda forgotten about - The Who and "Underture"

 

[Hope]

anyone feel like trippin'?

Gawd, I can listen to that all day and all night. On the surface it's so simple, but there are layers. The drumming is phenomenal. Throughout the whole album, Keith's drums are a melody instrument, but in the Underture the cymbals and tympani are out of this world.

There's nothing like going out for a three-hour run (once the weather cools down) and queuing up Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia.

Hope's post of "Surfin Bird" in the other thread got me thinking about the original inspiration for that one - The Rivington's Papa Oom Mow Mow, which dates back to '62 so its certainly an old one:

 

[Hope]

I've always liked this song. I never knew what the title was, so I would just say, "Hey, play that pink houses song, would you?"

BTW, I think that's Miriam Sturm who comes in at 3:39 to play the violin. nice touch of class, I think

Here is an old favorite of mine. "In Houston, we not only sing, but we dance just as good as we want."

 

[Ozimoto]

Here is another old, somewhat obscure, but topical song for the current climate of society. And it's a live version with to boot!

Thanks to Bama for posting the Haley Reinhart stuff. I'd forgotten how much I love her. I have her first album, which is pretty good, but she's really better-suited to older-style stuff. I discovered she did an album of mostly 60's stuff. Here's her take on Blind Faith:

She is really good ,@Bigboote . But certain stuff is exceptional. When I saw her and Morgan James I was amazed. The two do a cover of "Dear Prudence " that is just them and a guitar in a living room. Wonderful.

Dear Prudence by The Beatles (Morgan James & Haley Reinhart Cover)

@Bigboote . Here is a very sweet version of "Can't Find My way Home". It is more acoustical than others. Features Rachel Price of Lake Street Dive, and Chris Thile ,et al.

Chris Thile

That guy has been making music for forever. He's not exactly young anymore, but still a bit shy of 40.

Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" - with over 8M views I'd say it's not forgotten (fortunately) but it's certainly a bit gray around the edges:
