So bands / musicians you are probably sure most people have not heard of but you constantly wonder why not - lets share some hidden love
Kelley Stoltz (its a playlist so just dip into the 1st three - see where you get to from there)
John Fullbright
the Pernice Brothers
Come on FISO - hit me

Nice one, knulpuk. I think I'd heard the name Kelley Stoltz but assumed it was an Avril Lavigne-type 'punky' female - not sure why
I was aware of the Pernice Brothers, but never really listened to them - sound quite Teenage Fanclub-y. Actually, Joe Pernice has just recorded an album with Norman Blake of the Fannies under the name of The New Mendicants, which is really nice.
My top WEMYS would be Micah P Hinson, who has been producing albums of beatifully crafted low-key Americana for about 8 years to widespread indifference:

I think I bought several Micah albums a while back... Possibly off your recommendation. Never quite got into them (but didn't give them a huge chance, I'll revisit).

I'm not sure how well known these are, but I really like them (do a great cover of house of the rising sun)

101 Damnations was the first CD I ever bought. Didn't even have a cd player at the time. Next stop was an electrical shop to buy a CD deckem9999 wrote:Carter USM the most under-rated and talented bands the UK has ever produced .. Lyrically untouchable
Are they still going? Saw them at Rock City in Nottingham and I think at the Powerhouse in Brum in the early 90's. Great live. Pretty well known though surely?

Thye were fantastic but like most bands got a bit rubbish after a while. 2 great albums (Damnations and 30 something), the love album was good and the next 2 rubbish. Assumed the rest are too.

Worry Bomb and Post Historic Monsters are great albums so they certainly didn't go rubbish.
I blame the Government was a awful album bar Girls Can Keep A Secret
and World Without Dave was a mellow Carter and a great album but when they played it live they got bottles chucked at them (hence they split up) people couldn't accept they wanted to change as a band and they got sick of the you fat bustard chants

Ooh, ooh - listening to the Mighty Stef (nice one unc ) reminded me of the mysteriously little-known Murder By Death, wo peddle a similar-sounding dirty Americana:

Did you know that's a cover of a Townes Van Zandt song? He's probably worth a mention here, as although his reputation has grown recently thanks to covers by the likes of Tindersticks, Steve Earle and Cowboy Junkies, he's still relatively little-know, for one of the best songwriters ever:Zimmerman wrote:I'm not sure how well known these are, but I really like them (do a great cover of house of the rising sun)

looking forward to a few of these (well all of these).
I guess Carter USM were quite well known but maybe not so today - the albums seem to have faded disproportionally to how popular they seemed at their time.

Saw Jesse on Sunday night in what might be the last gig for a while - anyhow - upbeat and quite joyful, just what we need
