The Stones go psychadelic, had never really explored this one before recently. They didnât really explore this stuff further after this album and the album was the panned as a rip off of those trends of the time and the what the Beatles had done, but still give this a listen, cool stuff. This is what digging into discographies and less popular stuff is all about, finding these fun one offs.

This is one of the greatest proto-psych rock albums of all time. 1971. Bunch of 1st generation black British dudes from former colonies. Crazy album and crazy story. They disappeared as the album was nearing completion. There was no follow up album, no nothing, they never reappeared. The name of the album comes from the fact that the label decided to put the music out after not being able to find them for a while because it was so good that âWe Had To Let You Have Itâ. I know this because I have an original copy on vinyl and there is a handwritten note printed on a piece of paper inside the sleeve.
The track âRainâ is for my money one of the best songs written in this genre from that era. If they had been a popular band, I think it would be considered a classic.
Also, I dare you to listen to the song âThe Systemâ and tell me Lynyrd Skynyrd didnât lift the main lick of the Free Bird solo from it. Yeah, I said it.

French Prog Rock from 1979. Are you naked yet? Very little is written about this extremely weird and cool record. I randomly got this on vinyl a long time ago, not knowing what it was, and it has become impossible to find anywhere except of courseâ someone loaded it onto YouTube a while ago. The magic comes from the DIY nerd-flow of melodic ideas, the bedroom-album ambition, the tactile energy of the tones, and BONUS: there is limited Muso-Overplaying that so much Prog Music gets defined by. It sounds like 1779 had sex with 1979 on a bed of Parisian cassettes.

The production on this track, with the orchestra swells and the little plucky guitar solo, gets me every time

if Billy Strings and his Quintet come anywhere within 3 hours of you this summer, absolutely go and see them.
If you like bluegrass, country, folk, rock, or just generally a fan of improvisational jam music, Billy Strings will blow your mind.
