Speaking of Milan and, why not, also the more provincial Brescia. Alessandro Sipolo - LE MANI SULLA CITTA' "of a madonnina (Milan) who pays for her altar, of a drugged lioness (Brescia) trafficking dreams, by the lake, in the evening"

5) David Blue / Nice Baby and the Angel
7 albums from 1965 to 1976, plus one (the first) in the company of people like Richard Fariña, Patrick Sky, Bruce Murdoch, and Dave Cohen. In short, the Greenwich scene, yes, those who hung out with Bob Dylan.
And Bob did try to lend a hand (well, more like a finger!), but David disappeared into thin air nonetheless…

Nigel Mazlyn Jones Take Me Home
Okay, he's English and not American... should I remove it?
Should I keep it and pretend it doesn't matter?
I think it's better this way...
Do you like Roy Harper, Jonatan?
Well, he even worked with Roy (and with Van Der Graaf Generator, and with Steve Hillage, and with Nick Turner... and others). Although later in life, he became a zookeeper!
Listen to him carefully, you'll see, it will be a discovery...

3) Marc Johnson - A Long Song
I don’t know much about him, except that he’s from a suburb of New York, that his first album "Years" from 1972 is a small cult favorite among admirers (like me) who consider it a true obscure masterpiece, that he has made at least 4 more albums, as far as I know, and that this one - of course - is beautiful!

Color of Anyhow
Glenn was born in Philadelphia but then moved to Ontario and became Beverly. He released two stunning albums that reference Tim Buckley and Nick Drake mixed with jazz flavors.
Then he disappears.
He reappears in 2017 with an album ("Keyboard Fantasies") that attracts attention and brings him back into the spotlight (well, back to the spotlight!). His albums are reissued and he starts playing again.
I believe he is still around.

He is not even mentioned in the DeB.
 
I haven't dedicated a list to our guest, the owner and founder of Championship Vinyl Shop @[JonatanCoe] yet!
It's not easy because, between listens and reviews, our guest is quite an eclectic character....
So here it is:
5 Perfectly Hidden Secrets of American Singer-Songwriters
1) Mickey Newbury - "Heaven Help The Child"
This one is a true gem, and hardly anyone knows it! (And if someone does know about it, they’re keeping it well hidden!)
He has written songs for people like Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Bill Monroe, Johnny Rodriguez, Hank Snow, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Joan Baez, Tom Jones, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, B.B. King, Linda Ronstadt, Bill Callahan....and a whole bunch of others.
But the best part is, he’s also a great performer!
Why isn't he among the gods where he should be?

The Doors - Do It [HQ]
TSP50 - That the period was - and will be - the worst for the band (for Morrison, the others were at most enjoying the band’s top success) could also be understood from the fact that for the first time the songs were not credited to all four. 4 were signed by Krieger, 4 by Jim, and this was from both of them. Both wrote beautiful songs... more intimate, dark, and irreverent from JDM, more “radio-friendly” and linear from Robby; both essential, along with Ray and Densmore, for their absolutely inimitable sound. The piece is based on a catchy guitar riff, a warm keyboard backing, and a laid-back performance from Densmore. Those in the know say there’s “a captivating scratch rhythm hook at the end of each verse, a neo-gospel bridge, and a semi-jazzed finale." A piece, in my opinion, with great potential, treated a bit like a jam without much thought. I would be curious to know if any punk band or similar has ever covered it “badly” because I think it would sound great.
