The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.

I love the music of the 60s...it was such a magic time musically. Unfortunately I wasn't born yet. Of course, we young'ns know about the greats....CSN, Jefferson Airplane The Doors, Neil Young, CCR, the obvious ones...but it took me awhile to find Moby Grape, Richie Havens or Nick Drake. How about some tips of some great sixities music that somehow has dropped off the radar.

I second Audiofeil's mention of The Blues Project, especially the album "Projections."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Project

Also, if you are interested in the folk genre, The New Christy Minstrels. Take a look at a list of some of their former members, in this writeup:

Also in the folk genre, Tim Hardin.

Re The Blues Project's "Projections," here is a comment someone posted about it at Amazon.com:

The original Blues Project's only studio album "Projections" is easily one of the best rock albums to come out of the 60's. Though it is very hard to find in it's original form, it can easily be obtained by purchasing the "Anthology" CD that is offered by Amazon.com. Disk 2 of the "Anthology" contains the entire "Projections" album in its original song sequence. The rest of "Anthology" is also well worth your money, since it is loaded with their best material live, plus numerous rarities previously not available. Go there NOW to get a copy of one of the top 10 albums to come out of the 60's.

I agree. One of the best "under the radar" rock albums ever, and quintessential 1960's.
