La Fin de la Semaine Essay Question: Special "Ampersands Rule!" Edition

From 1973 and their album Louisiana Rock & Roll, please enjoy unaccountably little-known Southern Rock stalwarts Potliquor and their cautionary on-the-road tale "You Can't Get There From Here."

Those guys were, as you can hear, a killer two-guitar band, but unlike their better known and indulgently verbose genre/geographical blues-based brethren (Skynyrd, The Allmans) they actually have more in common on a sonic and compositional level with the likes of later, punkier avant-gardists like Television. I also hear a lot of the kind of mutant/metal stylings reminiscent of Brit contemporaries like The Move. And I can't think of another American act of their day who sounded so interesting production-wise.

Ooh -- I just remembered that not only have I written about these guys before, but that I actually had some interraction with people in their orbit. You can check that out OVER HERE,

I should also add that the aformentioned LR&R (I love the &), from whence the above song derives, is no longer officially available (although you can hear the rest of it on YouTube). Its predecessor, Levee Blues, however. remains available for streaming at Amazon and is highly recommended.

But now, of course, it's time to get to the business at hand. To wit:

...and your favorite obscure '70s rock/pop/country/folk or soul album by an equally obscure band or solo artist is...???

I emphasize 70s here, for obvious reasons. And by obscure, we mean something that the average reasonably well-informed music fan probably wouldn't be familiar with beyond perhaps the artist's name or album title. If that.

Discuss.

And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
