Great new musical discoveries to share

At the farmer's market today, I came across a local group that plays great folk music; a contemporary of the late Kate Wolf. In fact their music reminded me strongly of her and I'd seen many of her concerts.

The name of the group is Anderson-Gram

There are a few tracks to listen to on their myspace page, but the quality is so so. They are so much better in person.

Come share your discoveries here too.

Here's some links to some other great music others posted earlier too:

There are still more scattered throughout the board. These were the ones I recalled offhand.

That Anderson-Gram group is pretty good.

These are a few amazing discoveries I've made over the past couple years:

Silver Apples - Many of their songs don't sound like they belong in their time at all. In fact, not until the hippyish drum raga of "Dancing Gods" are we reminded that this group is from 1968.

Os Mutantes - a Brazilian psychedelic group from the late 60s-early 70s

I only have a couple of minutes to sample those nucky, so I'll be listening more later.

My initial reaction is groovy. They do take me back in time.

For those of you who are not familiar with her; here is the late Kate Wolf

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that The Frost's stubbornly hard-to-find music is on MySpace! I've been looking high and low for stuff by them.

Anderson-Gram are great to listen to!

Thanks for Kate Wolf link too. Big fan since the 70's when she was often on KPFA and performed in cafés in Bay Area. I was heart-broken when she died.

Her family keeps a website for her: http://katewolf.com/

Thanks for that Grasshopper. I've also been a fan since the 1970s when she was still strictly local.

Of This Land by Clannad is really beautiful.

This is on Imeem, so it takes a minute to load. It's worth the wait and you can minimize the window and go on doing other stuff while waiting and then listening while doing so.

It then goes on to play other music I haven't heard before.

This was emailed to me.

Something completely different: http://vodpod.com/watch/1116988-ray-charles-jerry-lee-lewis-fats-domino

3 from Alisdair Fraser and Natalie Haas. The sound quality is poor on the first two, but it gives you an idea. With good sound quality, there is magic here!

Again, I am looking forward to others also posting music in this thread for all of us to enjoy!

Bumping this thread up for new members to enjoy. Alethia, I think you'll resonate with some of this.

Nothing will load for me, but I had fun reading through all the comments...Yes some of those are familiar to me......actually my brother introduced me to Alisdar Fraser after he saw him in concert in Melbourne....he loved it.......and what I have seen tis wonderful..

Country Life - Roxy Music

An album I discovered fairly recently. One of those album's that's great from start to finish.

Since the links Nan posted to Gabriel y Rodriguez are broken, I thought I'd post this video. As you can see, Forumotion has added a few new links to our posting choices. To use this one, just click on the little green film icon and paste the url into it.

Thank you Edie for bringing this and the other functions to my attention last night.

All these lovely new functions do not show up in the quick reply box below. To see them, you need to scroll down a bit more to the post reply tab.
