Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

BoDeans are indeed from Wisconsin. Great band. Kind of an Americana-ish rock band, with Midwestern influences similar to Jayhawks, Bottle Rockets and Rainmakers (all brilliant bands). If you like BoDeans, check out their live album - "Joe Dirt Car". Contains all their best material and the live versions are superior to the studio versions, across the board.... All IMHO, of course.

@richmon That Hankdogs album is bliss. Fell in love with it the first time I heard it some 20 years ago. That's a band I wish had stayed together.

@jjss49 Good rec on the Carmichael album. Listening to and enjoying it now!
@jw944ts.    Been listening to that live Sting album for almost 30 years now. It hasn't aged well, though it still has some shining parts in it.

Bodeans are great live!

Here's an obscure one when you want to chill out in a dark room with a scotch or a glass of wine...David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive

Alfa Mist - Antifon
Really seductive, groove oriented modern melodic jazz. Found the LP on a UK site but it's also on streaming sites and CD. Also great youtube studio videos
