Amaaaaaaazing thread. Bravo everyone. Can't add much except to rep for additional Joe South tracks as I always do. Not as obscure as most of the stuff here, dude was a serious hitmaker, but still, he was the real deal - solid wooly-rock session man chops, hook-writing including "Rose Garden" and going back to "Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor," and his trippiness is that of a guy who's actually smoked some grass and shed a tear over Vietnam and our ruined rivers.

Setting aside Joe, it's interesting how much of the stuff in this thread shows a really really clear debt to the Byrds or even to the Mamas and the Papas in folk-rock harmony terms. Guess those were pretty big groups, but man, if you squint you'd figure they were bigger than the Beatles in terms of sonic fingerprints all over everything. Pretty sure this whole lineage has a lot more to do with the sound of 70s mainstream rock (especially soft rock/AM gold) than the British Invasion or anything else.

I don't know if they would exactly fit in this thread because I don't know if they made it on any AM radio but it's an album I dearly love. I just wish I knew more about them. They're a trio of There's really no information about Esperanza Encantata other that that they were a trio of Hispanic kids somewhere Out There who teamed up with a local folk rock band and made a great album in 1970.

Honey LTD were a girl group who sang on Bob Seger System's "Ramblin; Gamblin' Man" as Wayne State co-eds, before getting on the bus to Hollywood, where they were signed to the musically awesome, biz-inept Lee Hazlewood Industries label. They were soon opening for the likes of Love, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield etc at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, and Sonny & Cher and Nancy & Lee in Vegas---you can hear why on their mindblowing The Complete Recordings finally out last year on Light In The Attic. Most relevant to this thread is their country-pop reincarnation as Eve---album w that moniker hasn't been reissued, but some tracks are on the 'Tube, like this:
