Agree with surfer mike, as music nuts we probably have heard of a lot of these artists but may not have heard their actual music.I'd like to thank all the people who subscribe to these threads for opening my ears to a lot of music I may not have listened too otherwise.tali22 started this one off, heard of most of the artists mentioned (but not all), nice to find another fan of Jude Cole, excellent,found the Gay Dad (didn't know these) track which was raved about, not bad, but that led me to 'Black Ghost' by the same band - fantastic.There is so much music out there you can't hear everything and you're not gonna like all the stuff your fave artists do, so give the ones you haven't heard a chance as well. With that, here's a couple of my 'slightly' obscure ones :-
Vertical Horizon, Dougie Maclean, Quill & Sonny Landreth (there's loads more but...)
