Obscure bands

I love Ambrosia, April Wine, Blackfoot, Red Rider, Savoy Brown, Squeeze and Utopia!
I will check out the others.

Iceberg (Spain), Tantra (Portugal), Hawkwind (Australia)

+1 for Ambrosia & April Wine.

Thanks uncledemp ! Mother's Finest is great!
I checked out Henry gross "plug me into something" on YouTube. I really like it.
Do you know where I can buy it or download it?
I will be checking some of your other references😉

Arcam, glad you liked it! I have the lp of 'plug me into something'. I passed on an imported CD due to price and kick myself for it. Henry Gross has a website- you may drop him a line. He has other albums but 'plug me in' is my favorite. Good sounding as well in my opinion.

I'd be happy to burn you a copy of the album if I had the setup....

Maybe Henry's website can help.

Best,
gary

Ambrosia is a great band, so is Blackfoot!

New Riders on the Purple Sage, Commander Cody, Toby Beau, Rossington Collins, UFO, Al Stewart, Allan Parsons, Buckingham Nicks, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Amazing Rhythm Aces. I second Atlanta Rhythm Section. 

Some of those are mainstream to some of but probably not all. 

Reminds of the engineering involved in getting an 8 track to play in the car without dragging. Matchbook folded and lodged under the left side and a gentle twist. And you were set to grab a kiss before the track changed in the middle of a slow song.

Then the Mindblower speakers would kick back in. 

Musk oil, lip gloss, earth shoes, and body shirts. 

Good times.
