when your sole album is among the greatest ever made then that's a cool legacy in itself

Back when we use to plug together I would play "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" and "A Street That Rhymes At 6 A.M." I am surprised you mentioned her, outside of Captain Beefheart I thought we had nothing in common. I actually played those two songs more times than Chula Vista played Peter Frampton "Show Me the Way."

Norma only released two albums on her own, but recorded nine albums with various group projects. For those reasons stated I don't know how to place her. Is she a prolific or non-prolific artist? I trust you with whatever criterion you used to describe her as non-prolific.

Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland - Sugarfoot Rag

Hank Garland was part of the Nashville A-Team. He recorded a four solo albums in the span of two years. Then in September 1961 he was in an automobile accident that ended his recording career.

John Chowning - Stria

John Chowning invented FM synthesis while working at Stanford University in the late 60s. Stanford licensed it to Yamaha in the 70s and it took till the 80s where it became a household item. The the most popular FM synthesizer was the DX7 which was used by Brian Eno to A-ha. In some elusive way John Chowning changed the soundscape of music.

For whatever reason John Chowning did not pursue recording and releasing music, which I think is a shame. If anyone in the world I released more albums it would be John Chowning. The one album of his work is a collection of four compositions he recorded over the span of several years. His last composition was in '05.

John Chowning
That’s an album that I’ve kept in regular rotation on Spotify but I never realized his recorded output was so small.

Some interesting performances of “voices” (not on album) on yt.

ooooops missed this!



cannibal ox did a great record, then just a single i think. dissapeared almost completely (the occassional appearance as a guest mc here and there) and then 15 years or so later did a reunion album i think they shouldnt do and you shouldnt hear and that shouldnt exist..

their debut was produced by el-p and was released by his label def jux, i think they had some trouble with el and i dunno if they were on contract or something but surely they didnt wanna colab with him or hos label. thats supposed to be the reason they didnt follow up the cold vein (that was relatively succesful at the time) with anything the next couple of years. after that they seemed to be confused about the producer they should work with.. vast aire made at least one solo album that didnt go well and i think that was it for the next decade.....

Plus the fact they were like only teens/young adults and recorded it in their bedroom on a portable tape recorder with instruments they could lug around with them.

Psychic Youth - The Future is Now

The only thing I know exist by Psychic Youth is a 45 according to discog.com. This is B side and infinitely better than a majority of bands' A side. Thirty-seven years later it still sounds like music fifty years into the future.

Sibylle Baier - Tonight

Sibylle Baier recorded her songs on a home reel-to-reel tape back in the 70s, but she never really pursued a recording career. It was years latter that her son had the tapes transferred to CD. He passed one off to J Mascis and he liked it so much he got the album released commercially.

Karen Dalton - It Hurts Me Too

Karen Dalton was part of the Greenwich Village Folk scene and for as many years she put into performing there is little recording material left behind.

Just broke up
They're under discussed cause they're a generic brand Stooges/Rocket from the Tombs-on-life-support. I mean they're totally listenable and even fun but they're a footnote.
