Topic: Lesser Known Solo Debut Albums Posted: July 26 2011 at 12:59
This is a list of my fave solo artist debut albums that are relatively unknown. I realise that for many, this is a trip down obscuresville road, but go for it. And almost all in my list are seventies albums, but feel free to recommend any from any time period, as long as they are solo debuts, and lesser known. My pick is an easy one, the late Helmut Koellen's solo debut You Won't See Me, which is my favorite album of all time. A second for me would be Dirk Steffen's brilliant The Seventh Step.
John McLaughlin's Extrapolation (1969). One of my all-time favorite albums. An absolutely ground-breaking jazz guitar album that often gets overlooked in the discussion of the first jazz-fusion landmarks.

Some very rare albums.
For me, it's Tony T.S. McPhee's (Groundhogs), The Two Sides Of Tony (T.S.) McPhee from 1973. He did have three previous releases but were collaborations/projects and weren't really credited as solo albums.

You know, i love that record as well
I need to hear that Dick Heckstall-Smith album on the list. What do you think of it?

I highly recommend it, it is simply fantastic! There is a stellar cast of backing musicians, and the resultant music has a unique charm and atmosphere that is wonderful. On some of the tracks on this record are Colosseum members Jon Hiseman, Mark Clarke and Chris Farlowe all doing an impeccable job-well, everybody is. In the notes Dick mentions that "I've never enjoyed myself so much", and it shows. The record's best song is "The Pirate's Dream", which at one point was a Colosseum live set pick. And the lyrics written by Pete Brown and sung by Paul Williams are also very unique and different. Buy it!

I have decided to do some focusing on Eddy Marron's solo album, as his other recordings have been listened to by me recently. Por Marco is quite a nice, and introspective selection of somewhat light jazz and ethnically tinged numbers.
