Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: the five best finds of 2019…

…in my opinion, anyway.  Glad to hear yours in the comments (click on the category, "Great Moments in Obscure Rock 'n' Roll" to see this year's selections).  Here's mine (with apologies to Warpig, Toad and U.F.O. who almost made it):

Sir Lord Baltimore, "Hard Rain Fallin'"

Jeronimo, "Understanding"

Band of Joy, "I Got to Find My Baby"

Fat, "Country Girl"

Dirty Tricks, "Wait Till Saturday"

One response to “Great moments in obscure rock ‘n’ roll: the five best finds of 2019…”

  1. I'd never heard that Warpig song before. It does sound suspiciously similar to Deep Purple's' 'Fireball'. Ritchie Blackmore has admitted to ripping off other people's riffs for Deep Purple songs like 'Black Night', so I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened in this case, too.

    Happy holidays, Brian.
