Overlooked R & R gems from the past
I recently listened to some 70's albums in my collection and came across "Automatic Man", "Metro" and "Hummingbird",
which still sound good to my ears in terms of composition,
production and musicianship. They are documented in allmusic.com, yet never received the publicity I feel they deserved at the time of release. (The first Automatic Man album had Michael Shrieve from Santana; Hummingbird was actually Jeff Beck's group with Bernard Purdie on drums).
This made me wonder how many other worthy recordings there are that somehow got overlooked initially, but have stood the test of time. I'm interested in hearing if any of you have favorites which deserved publicity, but somehow fell through the cracks, and on to the bargain bins.
