Great albums that went nowhere
You know, the ones where everything was great but folks just didn't buy it for whatever reason. I'm selfishly posting this in hopes of plucking some jewels from the rough.

My pick is the Gene Clark's 1967 album Echos (With the Gosdin Brothers). The reissue is calledGene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers. Besides Gene, Vern, and Rex, the album featured Bill Rinehart, Clarence White, Jerry Cole and Glen Campbell on guitar; Chris Hillman on bass; Mike Clarke on drums, and Leon Russell on piano.



Can't believe it missed. What's some others?

Gene had at least 2 others in the early 70's that were great. I have them buried in my collection somewhere, "White Light" and "No Other".

Paul Siebel's 1970 Woodsmoke and Oranges was a masterpiece. His 1971 Jacknife Gypsy almost as good. Critical acclaim yes,success no. Heaps of other artists covered his song "Louise".

One of my alltime faves , but I'd disagree that it "went nowhere"...

While it might not have been as commercially successful as some would have liked when released
it's consistently described many as among the best of the era...

Agreed. He almost lost his record deal.

I think this falls into two categories:

Great records by artists whose whole careers didn't quite pan out as expected:
The first Lone Justice album
Here Comes the Groom: John Wesley Harding
Love, Hope, Sex and Dreams: The BoDeans

Unheralded albums by otherwise famous artists
Hearts and Bones: Paul Simon
I Love Everybody: Lyle Lovett
Train A Comin': Steve Earle

Those two, a couple of really fine Dillard and Clark albums, plus a great odds and ends album called Roadmaster.

Oh yeah. That is one of my all time favourite records; strong songs beautifully arranged from beginning to end.

Yes!
Great Songs,Guitars,Vocals,Production.....
It is fairly well known, but it really didn't go anywhere - Bad marketing decisions,timing,?????

1 of the last shows at Fillmore East was Moby Grape/BB King.
It was the event of the year to my friends & me.
Finally the big night came - They played 4-5 songs....Out of tune,sloppy,they
stopped in the middle of a song. Almost like they were trying to get people mad. They said in an interview later on that it was intentional - They were disgusted w/ audiences,the music scene in general, so they made a "statement".
That was long after the 1st LP came out though, maybe they were bitter about their lack of success?

I've got that one before it was airbrushed, and has a poster inside also with the bird out. I wonder if it has any value beyond the great music?
