Suni McGrath - instrumental guitarist, put out some records on Adelphi, for fans of Robbie Baso
Virgin Insanity - private press basement folk-rock, youtube the tune "don't get down"
Claude Delcloo - jazz drummer; the Africanasia LP features members of the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Arthur Jones etc. It's groovy and trancey.
Willis Alan Ramsey - songwriter from texas. put out one LP on leon russell's Shelter label. Waylon covered his "Satin Sheets" and changed "praise the lord & pass the mescaline" to "praise the lord & pass the tambourine" (ugh.)

second place is a dense thicket: tusk, american beauty, requia, golden trees, armchair boogie, beggar's banquet, karma, etc etc etc

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 20 May 2012 00:22 (eleven years ago) link

i'm going to download everything i haven't heard. my vote would've been... tusk? but maybe only because i'm obsessed with it right now, h8/<3 u lindsey. maybe karma.
