LescMcCann
Layers (1973, Atlantic)
Les brought in a rhythm section to lay down basic tracks. Later he overdubbed piano, rhodes, & synth funk-scapes of, IDK...the dive bars of the cosmos? You tell me.
This album is a sledgehammer of greatness.

Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic
Magnetic Flip (1984, Ace of Hearts)
I suppose these days BotM would be labeled "post-rock" or something like that. In 1984 there was nothing. Usually just referred to as a post Mission Of Burma "project" by Roger Miller. Whatever it is...great!

Brinsley Schwarz
Nervous On The Road (1972, UA)
Nick Lowe's early 70s pub rock group never caught on in the US in a meaningful way. We totally missed the boat. But make no mistake, they were f'n great. No lie.

Rickie Lee Jones
s/t debut (1979, WB)
Smash hit record out of the gates for RLJ. WB must've known, or planned, for her early success because they brought in all their iron to play on it, so it sounds a tad overproduced. But yeah, its great!
