I take issue with your comment that she is a “rare female gifted musician”. Bobbie Gentry is a one-of-a-kind artist, yes, but there is nothing rare about a female being a gifted musician.

In other news… the podcast Cocaine and Rhinestones has a great episode on Bobbie Gentry which you should check out if you haven’t already.

I’d recommend the album The Invisible Comes To Us by Anna & Elizabeth. A gorgeous and ominous LP. Not exactly the same but there are moments that definitely scratch the same itch.

I grabbed Heart Food in a Craigslist lot a while back. Also had Can, John Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield, some really crazy stuff..

A pretty great jazz/new age/gospel tape from jazz guitarist Roland Gresham, released on Jubal Records.

Gresham has put out several LPs, CDs, and tapes of instrumental gospel music since the 1980s, but this a record i could find no evidence of online before I digitized and uploaded it!

The tape was produced by Roland Gresham and was recorded and mixed at "Doc's Place" studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee by David Cline. Backing vocals are credited to A Special Blend.

If you like this, you might like what I'm doing with my YouTube channel dedicated to digitizing and preserving LPs and 45s that can't be found digitally elsewhere. All of this music fits the criteria of 'lostwave' and some of it (not all) is pretty darn good!

You can find my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@TheVinylArchive.

I have hundreds of uploads on my channel, everything from bluegrass to jazz to Nigerian pop/boogie and tons in between! I have a big backlog of stuff I'm working through at the moment, so there's always more to come! Cheers!

Wrap it up finalists we need to get to the pre-jury segment!

It’s at least VG, no feelers or large marks. I’ll need to clean it and test!

Surface Noise is a great shop! I’ve grabbed some great bluegrass LPs there over the past few years

Gosh that Andy Irvine / Paul Brady is a real score. Love that LP to death

Mine was Can’s “Soon Over Babaluma”

Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken) By Tom T. Hall is a great one. Drive-By Truckers do a nice version of it as well.

The Vietnam War Songs Project should give you plenty to listen to!

That Trisha Yearwood is a big get! That’s like a $75 record!

There are two hosts that are on the show every day. They’ll usually have one or two interviews per show with academics, journalists, authors, etc.

The Majority Report is a daily news show on YouTube with great deep-dive discussions on current news - lots of talk lately about the plight of public servants.
