Great Songs that no-one has heard of.....

The Poets, now we're thru

Trailer Trash Tracys - You Wish You Were Red

not a great song but i like it for the saxaphone playing   Klingande jubal   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6vSf0cA9qY

Went to see Richard Hawley last year and heard this on the p.a before he came on. I'd heard Cherry Ghost before but not this particular song ('Clear Skies Ever Closer') and it's a belter.

Virginia Astley - 'Darkness Has Reached It's End' (1986)
https://youtu.be/LGUy_OpIpOs

Tiger Army - 'As The Cold Rain Falls' (2007)
https://youtu.be/SUtB887A3Uc

Simply Red - 'Every Bit Of Me' (1985)
Everyone hates Simply Red, but this (unavailable anywhere) track is magic

https://youtu.be/6PFfCeEOdo8

Wow - the top one only has 2 views. That is obscure and not too shabby either

mm, Herd Runners is a superb album from start to finish but unfortunately Simon Aldred seems to have called a halt on his Cherry Ghost career. I enjoyed the Michael Head track, so thanks for that.

I'll add this song to the collection, Brilliant Mind by Furniture, it's an absolute gem of a tune.

But everyone has heard that one Slippy,you must be out of....no never mind

I discovered this masterpiece just last week:

he did, said herd runners would be last cg album.  he did do a solo album before herd runners, under guise of ' out cold' which is more electric/synth than cg.  he did /does write for other artists and had a song on last kristina train album, though not best track, here is best track, magnificent song.

Sea of Bees - Gone
.

I really love a song that was B side to an Eurovision entry that is pretty much unknown. By Nin Huguen and the Huguenotes.

Not a great fan of Eurovision per se but it does chuck the occasional good one up in my opinion:

Best of all time, Poisoning Pigeons in the Park by Tom Lehrer,

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY

Gosh Dragon you're a quick worker(that's my style too)...

There's a story as to why I've had this for ages and, for whatever reason, not played it for years!

I think it was my son's Uni friend/contact!

Worth checking out his other works....

yes reminds me a bit of richard marks but more jazzy/soeful or don henley

I love that album Lady Faye. Born And Raised is another of his that is excellent from start to finish.

There is a Dream ft Pino Palladino, Jeremy Stacey, Robbie McIntosh and others.....

Sleepwalk - The Shadows , Satriani , Beck , Doug Baumier.
A doo-whop vamp in disguise but beautiful.

Much underrated band from the mid 70s-Shanghai with the fantastic voice of Cliff Bennett and Mick Green of Johnny Kidd@the pirates on guitar.
Solaris, rather long but a great song, better on vinyl than here. If you like it you can see them on the old grey whistle test, type in Candy Eyes followed by Over the Wall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIRP2QbRwMI

You can then look for early Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers singing I Take what i want with Sandy Sergeant one of the 1st GoGoes from Ready Steady Go doing the moves, great

Morpeth - I am a big Michael Head fan (and Pale Fountains, Shack, Strands)

Great to see him finally have the success his talent deserved

Marillion - Grendel

Mex Webster - Paradise Skies
