I was listening to a collection of classic rock on YouTube, and heard a live version of Bullfrog Blues. The lead singer didn't sound like Canned Heat's Alan Wilson, who sang Goin Up Country. I was looking for the version I heard, couldn't find it among Canned Heat's recordings, so I looked at a couple of other singers, including Rory Gallagher.

I don't remember hearing the song before and I love it

… including the aforementioned bands, Joe Bonamassa, Dave Hole, William Harris, and the Legendary Shack Shakers. Probably numerous others too. (I haven’t even heard of a couple of those artists!)

I gotta check out LSS, if only for the cool name!

When the music was new, I was too busy to pay much attention. Now, I'll hear songs or bands that are new to me, even if they've been around for 50 years

It’s possible, and not too difficult, to find really good music that we missed all those years ago… if only we know where to look!
