Great Hidden Album Treasure

What's your favorite Americana album that most never discovered?  My first nomination is "Seventeen" by The Samples.  A wonderful acoustic live album full of luscious melodies and heartfelt vocals.  Perfect for long drives.  Highly recommended.   Here are several "samples" - no pun intended.

I would have to say the Paul Kennerley concept albums 'White Mansions' and the ' Legend of Jesse James' albums..These two totally snuck by me, and I'm a music buff! Shame on meD:

Those are good ones, Joseph; I just discovered them a couple of years ago and they are great.

I love The Eastern (by The Eastern) for something no one else has heard of, though I think they did open for Steve Earle at one point. They're one of my favorite bands. Hard to find but they are on Itunes, if you search for "The Eastern Arrows" it should show up in the Albums section.

I posted a few of their videos around here too, though they don't necessarily do them justice.

Just listened to a song of theirs - sounds good thanks! Would have almost thought it was Jeff Tweedy singing.

OK two songs now, like them both... nice.

Sweet Moments with the Blue Velvet Band.  Warners 7 Arts  Vinyl LP  (1969)  never on CD.  As memory serves it was Jim Rooney, Bill Keith, Eric Weissberg, Richard Greene, Kenny Kosek?, Andy Kulberg .

Great songs, sung well, great picking.   Country rock more than anything else, but snatches of western swing and classic country.  I remember being initially  disappointed in it because it was not bluegrass.  I have been performing the song Sweet Moments (Luke Wills) ever since.
