What is the best unkown rock/folk, rock/country, or rock/blues band you can think of?
I always like finding great bands that have not been put through the radio meat grinder. i.e. Dave Matthews Band early stuff is way better than the current. Anybody like Great Big Sea, Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor, Eli "Paperboy" Read is awesome. Lately I have been listening to The Orchid Highway. Please if you could let me know if their stuff is available for Download on either iTunes or Aimee St. Thanks.
This group is kind of super-retro proto-metal folkish music, called Jex Thoth. I love the atmosphere of the song with that organ, then it all lets loose in the end.
